The screen supports navigation and can be controlled via toggle switches placed on the handlebar. It also has day and night modes. Honda’s H-Smart key features are also integrated which include Smart Find, Smart Safe, Smart Unlock and Smart Start. As for the hardware, it rides on 12-inch alloy wheels suspended by telescopic forks and dual springs while braking is handled by a disc-drum combination.
