Overview
Honda CTX 700N / DCT
The Honda CTX700 and CTX700N are powered by the
670cc parallel-Twin engine introduced in the NC series and are available with
Hondas second-generation dual-clutch transmission (DCT) technology. DCT is
standard on the 700N and optional on the NC700. Both will be available with ABS
on the DCT versions, but not on the standard transmission models. Vertically
challenged riders will appreciate the CTXs low seat of just 28.3 inches.
The CTX700N is the naked version, sharing a similar front end as the NC700S. The CTX700 adds a fairing and windscreen to make it better equipped for longer trips. Its somewhat reminiscent of the ill-fated DN-01 but looks, thankfully, more subdued.
The NC700 engine places a higher premium on lower-end torque over outright power which may not appeal to some riders. We dyno tested the NC700X in our recent middleweight multi-tool shootout and measured a peak power output of 47.7 hp at 6400 rpm and 42.6 ft-lb. at 4700 rpm and we expect similar numbers the CTX models.
The NCs 670cc engine has a 62-degree forward lean
for a lower center of gravity, improving handling. In the NC series, this engine
position opens up storage space where a conventional fuel tank would normally be
located. Unlike the NC models, the CTX700s 3.17 gallon fuel tank is
conventionally placed over the engine instead of under the seat. Honda still
managed to find room for some storage in the form of a glove box beneath the
fuel tank cover.
Suspension is provided by a 41mm fork offering 4.2 inches of travel and Hondas Pro-Link rear suspension with 4.3 inches of travel. The braking system is comprised of a 320mm single disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear. The DCT version comes with ABS, which uses a three-piston caliper on the front while the base version uses a two-piston caliper.
Honda claims a curb weight of 478.4 pounds for the base CTX700N and 500.4 pounds for the DCT and ABS version.
