In the 2022 model, it has brushed alloy radiator side covers, black-out engine, new sports exhaust, the all-new steel tubular frame and the 41 mm inverted front suspension in gold color.

Speaking of the front suspension, it is the same used in the larger CB650R model, with 41 mm in diameter. To complete the setup, it features a 296 mm floating front brake disc and a radial-mounted 4-piston caliper.

In addition, it is equipped with two-channel ABS and the first-in-class ‘Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) system’. The wheels are 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, fitted with 110/70-17 tires at the front and 150/60-17 at the rear.
