More power, more torque
The 471 cc DOHC liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine uses a square bore & stroke of
67 mm x 66.8 mm for an optimum combination of strong low-end torque and excellent
top-end power and performance.

Slipper clutch
Not only does the slipper clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also
reduces effort at the lever by almost half, helping to reduce rider fatigue particularly in city
traffic or on long rides.

Maximized efficiency
In order to maximize air-intake and exhaust efficiency, the profile from the air cleaner through the intake ports to the exhaust pipe was made as straight as possible, helped in part by repositioning the battery away from the rear of the airbox intake duct.

Durability
The pins in the silent cam chain have been treated with vanadium, which both reduces friction and improves durability. The lightweight pistons use the same advanced manufacturing process as those found in the CBR1000RR. To ensure precise cylinder shape, the engine uses the same centrifugal-cast thin-wall sleeves as found in the CBR1000RR.

The sound of power
Upgrades from the previous generation include a repositioned battery, now farther from the rear of the airbox intake duct to maximize air-intake and exhaust efficiency, while the muffler now features dual exit pipes for a sportier sounding edge to the exhaust note.
