THROTTLE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM
The CBR600RR throttle-by-wire system smooths and improves throttle response, especially at the critical initial throttle opening. Plus, adopting TBW makes it possible to integrate the CBR600RRs riding mode system which offers switchable 5 power modes and 3 engine braking modes to choose from according to riding styles.
FULL-COLOUR TFT METER
The CBR600RR is equipped with a larger instrument screen and higher resolution than previous CBR models. You can choose from a menu of screen setting options that display the information you want in a format you prefer, with items like Street, Circuit, and Mechanic Mode so that each mode can be used as riding situations may vary.
You can also see engine temperature, riding modes, speedometer and tachometer, shifter setting, ABS level, gear position, remaining fuel, and much more.
HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL
With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), we’ve got your back, but you’re in control. Here’s how it works: The system automatically adjusts engine power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip. You get 9 intervention levels to choose from according to your riding preference and it is possible to switch it off as well so it’s easier than ever to dial your bike in at the track.
HONDA ELECTRONIC STEERING DAMPER
Most steering dampers only sense handlebar-deflection speed. The CBR600RR has HESD (Honda Electronic Steering Damper) with optimal damping force constantly maintained by the ECU, it’s a sophisticated. detects vehicle speed and adjusts damping proportionally. That helps maintain low-speed manoeuvrability while providing excellent, predictable high-speed handling.
RIDE MODES
The new CBR600RR has been equipped with 5 riding modes; you can choose any of the five at will and enjoy different riding performance depending on traffic situations. You can also set up your own riding mode by combining items in each following control level: Power Selector (P), Honda Selectable Torque Control (T), Wheelie Mitigation Control (W), Selectable Engine Brake (EB). The choices for the riding modes consist of the original pre-set 3 modes and 2 modes which you as a user can set by combining your preferred items.
You can switch to a different riding mode while riding too, just by using the SEL switch on the left handlebar.
POWER SELECTOR
The CBR600RR is equipped with a power selector function that comes in 5 different levels of the power output characteristics for throttle grip handling. The system controls the throttle valve opening angle based on your throttle grip handling and switches the output characteristics for each level.
The power selector has varying levels, from Level 1, which brings out the highest power output in all 6 gears, to Level 5, which secures smooth throttle grip by controlling the power output in each gear to ease off the output and reaction during acceleration.
WHEELIE CONTROL
This system mitigates wheelies during acceleration. The ECU closes the throttle valve when wheel speed sensors on both the front and rear wheels detect deceleration of the front wheels and acceleration of the rear wheels. Decrease the torque until the front wheels touch the ground and the wheel speeds up and the front wheels are at the same speed as the rear wheels, reducing wheelies. Ideal for your track day starts.
REAR WHEEL SLIP CONTROL
This controls rear wheel slip during cornering and acceleration. The ECU calculates the rate and percentage of rear wheel slip based on the front and rear rotation speed ratio from the wheel speed sensor; when the ECU judges that it is necessary to control the engine torque.
The system activates the rear wheel slip by controlling the opening angle of the throttle valve. When you open the throttle grip wide to accelerate, the system performs torque control so as to intentionally allow slipping depending on the grip angle. These efforts ensure a safe riding experience and keep you on track to win.
