New 2021 Honda Forza 750 test: stronger than the Tmax ?!
Honda is putting pressure on the Tmax with this new Forza 750 maxi-scooter, a relevant mix between the incomplete Integra and the adventurer of X-ADV cities. Is this important 2021 novelty "Forza" enough to finally challenge the insolent supremacy of the leader Yamaha ? Response and review in our MNC trial.

| Engine. The 745 cc parallel twin engine develops 58.6 hp and 69 Nm against 54.8 hp and 68 Nm on the Integra. That is a gain of 3.8 hp and 1 Nm of torque respectively, despite its switch to Euro5. This long stroke unit (77 x 80 mm) is controlled by an electronic accelerator, while its distribution is executed by a simple camshaft. |
 |
| A2 is better. This 270 ° engine is clamped to 35 kW (47.5 hp) via an injection body and a specific control unit to be accessible to the A2 license (count between 200 and 250 euros). Note that two balance shafts fight against vibrations and that its autonomy would be "about 370 km" thanks to the 13.3 liters of its tank, also down 0.8 liters Vs the Integra. According to Honda, its consumption would be 3.6 l / 100 km: MNC recorded 4.4 l on the on-board computer while we were driving partly in the rain.. |
 |
| Technofile. The Forza is full of technologies with its practical keyless start, its anti-slip adjustable on three levels and can be deactivated, its three injection maps – more or less responsive – and even an engine brake control never before seen on a scooter! Honda on the other hand forgot to graft it its "Stop and Start" system which cuts the engine when stationary, yet so pleasant because it guarantees a reduction in polluting emissions – a little – and noise – a lot – at red lights ! |
 |
| Double clutch, easy to use. Honda’s "Dual Clutch Transmission" (DCT) is based on a double clutch: the first for odd gears (1.3 and 5), the second for even gears (2,4,6). This technology speeds up and smoother shifting thanks to the pre-engagement of the next gear by the second clutch via an electro-hydraulic mechanism. Two uses are available: automatic (gear changing entirely decided by electronics) or manual, with up and down gears carried out by hand from "+ and -3" triggers on the handlebars. |
 |
| Fashionable. The management of automatic gear change is also correlated with the three driving modes available (Standard, Sport, Rain), with which each feature receives a factory setting corresponding to the desired use: in "Rain" mode, the anti-skating will be very active, the DCT very "soft" on the change of gears and the ABS is placed in maximum "state of alert", while it will be the reverse in "Sport" mode. A fourth "User" mode allows you to configure everything by hand. |
 |
| The key to success. The Honda "Smart Key" allows you to start the scooter without entering an ignition key thanks to the transponder remote control above with a range of two meters. The steering is tensioned and locked via a toothed crown under the dashboard with press studs. Simple and practical. Too bad, however, that an anti-theft device is not integrated as standard, such as the locking of the central stand of the Tmax. |
 |
| Areas for improvement. The rear footrests could have been covered with rubber. Fortunately the block vibrates little, only a few crackles in the saddle and handlebars from 6000 rpm! The side stand lug is also a bit short, while mirrors wider than the scooter require attention in interfiles. Be careful not to hang up! The visibility offered to the rear is not particularly extraordinary in this regard.. |
 |
| Forza Honda. 60,000 Forza – all models combined – have been sold in Europe since 2005, including 34,000 in France. The turning point came in 2015 with the Forza 125, which ensures the bulk of sales and occupies the number 1 position on the French market ahead of the Yamaha Xmax 125. Honda naturally intends to reproduce the same success with its novelty, which is now strong of a complete sibling ranging from the eighth of a liter to the 750 cc through the excellent Forza 300 which became 350 in 2021. |
