To further compliment the riding experience, it has a slipper clutch for better control and a Throttle-By-Wire programmed with 3 modes. In addition, there is also a user setting [Power (P), Engine Brake (EB)] and a Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) which when made to work with the presets, give the rider optimum benefits depending on the riding conditions.
