Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda NSS 300 Forza
Honda has revised its Forza 300 scooter for 2018, introducing traction control, a redesigned chassis and a 26-pound weight reduction. In Europe the Forza line has been fairly successful. The smaller Forza 125 model, in particular, has sold 30,000 units since its introduction three years ago, so its not a surprise its sharper lines influenced some of the visual changes of the 300 version. Honda designed a new tubular steel frame that helped reduce the Forza 300s claimed wet weight to 401 pounds. The revised chassis also shortened the wheelbase by 1.4 inches to 59.4 inches. The front end is a half a degree steeper at 26.5°, shortening the trail slightly to 3.5 inches.
The 2018 Forza 300 is also narrower than the 2017 model, making it easier to
lane split through traffic. At 30.7 inches, the seat height is also a couple of
inches taller than the previous model.
The updated Forza rides on larger cast aluminum rims, a 15-inch front wheel
and a 14-inch wheel at the back (compared to 14 inches/13 inches on the previous
model). The 33mm telescopic fork is slimmer than the 35mm units on the old
Forza, while the twin rear shocks now offer seven stages of spring preload
adjustment. A single 256mm brake disc is mounted on the front wheel while a
240mm disc is used on the rear. A two-channel ABS comes standard.
The engine remains the same 279cc liquid-cooled fuel-injected SOHC four-valve
Single as the 2017 model. Claimed peak power output is 24.8 hp at 7000 rpm,
while torque maxes out at 20.1 lb-ft. at 5750 rpm.
The Forza 300 will be the first Honda scooter with traction control. The
switchable Honda Selectable Torque Control system continuously monitors front
and rear wheel speeds, calculates the slip ratio and then moderates engine
torque to maintain traction.
The T symbol marks the switch for the traction control system. The light gray switch controls the height. Honda claims the Forza 300 gets 72.9 mpg. With a full three-gallon tank, that translates to a claimed range of 218.7 miles. Other features include a new electronically adjustable windscreen, revised instrumentation, LED lighting, a Smart Key system and an under-seat storage space that can hold two full-face helmets. The 2018 Honda Forza 300 will be offered in four paint options: Crescent Blue Metallic, Pearl Nightstar Black, Matt Cynos Grey Metallic and Matt Pearl Cool White.
