Honda consolidates in 2021 the strengths of the NC750X, its very urban trail

Trail - Honda consolidates the strengths of the NC750X, its very urban trail in 2021 - Used HONDA

The NC750X takes advantage of the changeover to Euro5 to strengthen its strengths! Always so sober but a little more efficient, Honda’s very road trail is lighter and lower, its helmet compartment is enlarged, its electronics are perfected, its style is energized…. Presentation.

Available only with the "DCT" double clutch on French territory (+10 kg compared to the mechanical gearbox model, and +800 euros in 2016), the NC750X circulates in the shadow of its little cousin CB500X. This does not prevent it from remaining in the catalog, evolving for 2021.

Like its brother X-Adv and the very recent Forza 750, the mid-capacity trail welcomes the new version of the in-line twin, both lighter (-1.2 kg), more powerful (+3, 8 hp and still bridle at 35 kW for A2 licenses), more torque (+4 Nm) and cleaner (Euro5) than the previous one.

The modified distribution diagram, the addition of the electronic accelerator (TBW) and improvements to the exhaust are among the 2021 modifications of this still sober Japanese Twin: count 3.5 liters to cover 100 km, or a range 400 km with a full !

In addition to its 2021 improvements and its Euro5 mention, the NC750X should walk drive harder and pollute less thanks to a pair of modifications to the gearbox: shorter 1-2-3 gears provide better acceleration in town, longer 4-5-6 gears improve fuel consumption on the road.

The electronics are also evolving: the installation of a wireless accelerator (Throttle By Wire) allows the NC750X to offer its pilot three pre-recorded driving modes (Rain, Standard and Sport) and a configurable mode (User). The HTSC traction control is renewed and refined, offering a third level of intervention.

On the "standard" version, "the addition of an assisted slip clutch for 2021 reduces the effort required at the lever by 20% and limits the risks of the rear wheel jamming during rapid downshifts on the manual transmission, indicate the Japanese have a small minority of future customers in Europe, where 52% of sales are made with DCT.

To better reflect the evolution of their motorcycle, the Japanese redesigned it, making its fairings and optics sharper, installing new "color" LCD instrumentation (red for the area above 7000 rpm) and placing it at- above a bubble supposed to improve protection against wind and bad weather.

"Invisible – but major – advance of the NC750X chassis, engineers relied on the diamond tubular steel frame and, through a careful redesign (using varying tube thicknesses and masses)" would have saved 1.8 kg compared to the previous model.

Overall, the NC750X weighs 6 kilograms less than its predecessor! It is all the more "urban" towards its users as the saddle is now 3 centimeters lower. The other side of the coin: suspension travel and ground clearance are also reduced…

The suspensions now work on 120mm, but the 41mm fork "uses Showa double valves, with improved compression and rebound damping characteristics," Honda guarantees. The new ground clearance is only 145 mm, not much more than a roadster. It will be necessary to pay attention to the sidewalks !

Very popular in town, the NC750X reinforces one of its key strengths in 2021: the redesigned frame, the displacement of the battery and the redesign of the air box have increased the capacity of the "tank-box" by one liter. (23 l therefore). Its "revised internal shape will now easily accommodate an adventure-style helmet," says Honda..

Also new, "the possibility of connecting a USB-C socket, housed inside the trunk at the top left", adds the winged brand which could have done a little zeal and fitted this convenient accessory as standard. More convenient than the emergency stop signal (ESS) function or automatic turn off of turn signals ?

The 2021 NC750X will be available in the three pre-existing colors Black, White and Blue, as well as in a new "Grand Prix" Red. It will be available from March 2021, at a price of 9,399 euros, or 250 euros more than the 2020 model currently on sale….
