The engine is equipped with DOHC and 16 valves, ensuring optimal airflow and combustion efficiency.

Braking is handled by dual 310mm discs with radial-mount four-piston calipers at the front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, all governed by a standard dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety.

The motorcycle's neo-retro design features a round LED headlight, minimalistic bodywork, and a sculpted fuel tank, giving it a distinctive and aggressive look. The digital LCD instrument cluster provides clear, at-a-glance information, including gear position, fuel gauge, and a shift-up indicator. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) is also included, allowing riders to maintain traction under varying conditions.
