This model, produced from 2016 to 2020, quickly established itself as a versatile adventure bike, blending off-road capability with on-road comfort. It features a liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine and was available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The 2016-2019 models were powered by a 998cc engine. Significant updates in 2018 included Throttle By Wire, riding modes, and the introduction of the Adventure Sports trim, offering enhanced touring and off-road features.
