Honda's peerless touring machine is designed to be compact and lightweight, with technology that will help make the most of any ride. With a long list of standout features meant for optimum comfort and performance for both the rider and passenger, the Gold Wing is the starting point for your next great adventure.

Design

• High aerodynamic efficiency complements an impressive power-to-weight ratio to maximize fuel mileage
• Compact side-mount radiator with high performance allows for narrow front cowl
• Air-guiding ducts flow optimal amounts of air into the rider area, allowing a true motorcycling experience
• Electric windscreen, in varying heights depending on model, gives rider control over airflow through stepless adjustment for height and angle
• LED headlight incorporates distinctive "wing line"
• LED turn signals with auto-cancelling function are integrated into mirrors at the front, and into the taillights at the rear
• Two-piece seat is shaped to allow rider to easily move around in the saddle during spirited riding, and to let passenger tour in comfort

Engine / Drivetrain

• 1,833cc liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine enables low center of gravity, minimal vibration, and quiet running
• SCM440H material for the crankshaft is strong, allowing the crankshaft to be made compact
• Unicam® valve train offers weight savings and maximum fuel efficiency, while also contributing to engine's compact dimensions
• Four-valve head offers ideal combustion efficiency and fuel efficiency
• Aluminum cylinder sleeves for low engine weight
• Short engine configuration enables engine and seating area to be positioned forward in chassis, affecting weight bias to promote sporty handling
• Single, 50mm throttle body for low weight
• Low intake-manifold volume for direct flow of air to combustion chamber, enhancing responsiveness
• Sporty exhaust sound achieved through optimized pipe diameter on two of the six cylinders and absence of fiberglass in muffler
• Standout fuel economy enables fuel tank to be made small for optimal vehicle packaging and low weight
• DCT features Walking Mode for creeping forward and backward (.75 mph in reverse direction, 1.1 mph in forward direction)
• DCT models save weight through absence of reverse idle shaft, which is needed in conventional transmission
• Minimal shift shock and noise on DCT models through use of fork-shaft dampers, master-arm damper, and DCT clutch-center damper
• Assist and slipper clutch on manual-transmission models have light lever effort and low shift shock on downshifts
• Cam damper on manual-transmission model minimizes shift noise and shift shock
• Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) saves weight and minimizes noise at start-up

Technologies

• Throttle-by-wire system provides basis for advanced electronics package
• Four riding modes—Tour, Sport, Econ, and Rain—help tailor the riding experience for specific riding conditions
• On Tour models, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system manages rear-wheel slip
• Hill Start Assist makes it easier to start from a stop on an ascent
• Optimized cruise-control function for relaxed cruising
• Smart Key for keyless starts and bag access
• Vehicle Viewfinder system simplifies locating motorcycle, for instance in larger parking lots
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides real-time status of tire pressure, also indicating when tire pressure drops below a certain level
• Apple CarPlay™ compatibility enables the rider to access Apple Music and Maps, make phone calls, and send dictated messages using Siri
• 7-inch full-color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display offers clear viewing of audio and navigation systems, as well as settings for individual rider-aid systems
• Updated navigation system now lets voice route guidance continue after ignition is switched off and back on; lets points of interest remain presence after ignition is switched off and back on, and corrects daylight savings change date

Chassis / Suspension

• Robotically welded aluminum twin-spar frame
• Optimized plate thicknesses in frame spars achieves ideal rigidity and flex characteristics
• Single-sided swingarm with pivot-area structure
• Lightweight design for frame and swingarm
• Short seat rail positions rider and passenger forward, enabling optimal mass centralization
• Twin 320mm front-brake rotors, single 316mm rear rotor, for excellent stopping power
• Radially mounted 6-piston dual front-brake calipers and single three-piston rear-brake caliper
• Electronically controlled combined braking system with ABS uses single modulator for low weight
• Tires specifically designed for Gold Wing, in sizes 200/55-R16 (rear) and 130/70-18 (front)
• Double-wishbone front-suspension system minimizes friction and enhances agility, reducing total shock transferred to the handlebars by 30 percent compared to previous Gold Wing platform; inertial mass of components operated by handlebars is reduced by 40 percent
• Bearings for all shaft bushings on front-suspension system minimize friction for both stroke and steering
• Double-wishbone front-suspension system leads to compact vehicle package, as stroke trajectory allows forward engine location
• Pro-Link® rear-suspension system ensures comfortable ride
• Convenient electrically controlled suspension-damping adjustment uses stepping motor acting on a needle to control oil flow rate

Additional Standout Features

• 30-liter storage capacity each for left and right saddlebags
• 50-liter storage capacity for rear luggage case on Gold Wing Tour models (optional on Gold Wing models)
• Dampers on saddlebag and rear luggage-case lids, for smooth operation
• Airbag model's collision judgment system arranged close to the center of gravity for optimal mass centralization

NEEDS CORRECT LANGUAGE FOR WARRANTY.

• Meets current CARB and EPA standards.
• California version differs slightly due to emissions equipment
