Exclusive Honda Technology

You won't find these features in anything but a Honda.

VTEC® TECHNOLOGY

Smooth acceleration and power.

Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC®) system gives you a broader, flatter, torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine's operating range. It means outstanding performance without sacrificing fuel economy.

DUAL-STAGE INDUCTION

Breathing easier improves performance.

Honda's unique variable intake system maximizes combustion efficiency for increased torque and superb fuel efficiency. The plenum chamber with twin butterfly valves varies the volume and velocity of airflow, which means a simple, compact design that enhances both low-speed drivability and high-speed performance.

LEAN-BURN CONTROL

Better fuel economy.

A more fuel-efficient engine is not only better for your wallet but also for the environment. Lean-burn control automatically adjusts the air-fuel mix according to speed and load while maximizing power throughout the rpm range, letting you save on fuel in the "lean" cruise mode.

4-FRONT CORROSION PROTECTION

Fights the elements.

Your Honda will continue to look and perform like new with our protection system that includes a patented double-sealed, multi-layered paint process, sacrificial anodes, stainless steel components and waterproof connectors.

3-WAY COOLING SYSTEM

Cool-running durability.

Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.

TORSION DAMPENER

Improved handling.

Sometimes called the flywheel, this component is located near the base of the powerhead. The design lowers the centre of gravity for improved handling, hull manoeuvrability and minimal vibration.

SEALED STARTER

Protection for long life.

The starter motor is inverted in a sealed chamber that protects the starter BendixÃ’ drive from the elements. The result is solid dependability.

MULTI-PORT PROGRAMMED FUEL IGNITION

Powerful performance.

You get the precise amount of air and fuel to each cylinder under all operating conditions, resulting in quick starts, instant throttle response, powerful performance and low fuel consumption.

AUTOSTART ENRICHMENT

Easy starts.

Just like a fuel-injection system, autostart enrichment automatically adjusts the air-fuel mixture for quick, easy starting and warm-up.
