HONDA NC700X DCT (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda NC700 was a series of motorcycles manufactured by Honda in 2012 as a new concept, and unlike conventional machines, the NC700 was designed for commuters, beginner, and veteran riders.

In 2014, alongside the NC700X, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer made available the NC700X DCT, which packed an optional automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) that offered the convenience of an automatic transmission allowing the rider to manually shift gears from paddle shifters located on the handlebar.

Other than that, the NC700X DCT was identical to the standard model, with its lightweight diamond-shaped steel frame, a long-travel suspension system, a comfortable seat with an upright seating position, a digital instrument panel, and a storage compartment located in the typical fuel tank compartment.

For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm long-travel telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock absorber on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the NC700X DCT packed a single 320 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the front wheel and one 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2014 Honda NC700X DCT had at its core a 670cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 51 hp with maximum strength at 6,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.
