Features
- 700CL-X SPORT FEATURES: When you start with a clean sheet of paper and the best intentions this is what you get. With its café-racer style and outstanding performance, the 700 CL-X Sport gives you something few motorcycles can—the confidence to show up wherever you want. The ABS, electronic throttle, slipper clutch, and cruise control make this your top pick whether you’re new to the saddle or highly experienced.
- RIDE MODES, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTO-CANCELING TURN SIGNALS: The 700 CL-X Sport is fitted with two on-the-fly riding modes: Sport and Eco. Sport mode utilizes full engine power and sharp throttle response, while Eco allows for softer throttle inputs and increased fuel efficiency. For those long, open stretches of road, one-touch cruise control lets you rest your throttle hand. Auto-canceling turn signals take your mind off your controls and focus your concentration back on the road.
- CF SLIPPER CLUTCH: The slipper clutch is the best way to enjoy the ups and downshifts of riding. When downshifting from higher engine speeds, the slipper clutch reduces engine braking force. The clutch slips—just enough—until the engine speed matches the motorcycle’s speed. Transmission is in sync with engine. Engine is in sync with rider.
- BREMBO BRAKES: These brakes are for race day and every day. The front wheel sports dual Brembo Stylema 320mm discs and a beefy 4-piston caliper. The rear disc, sporting a 2-pistion caliper, is a 260mm Brembo Stylema. If these massive brakes don’t instill total confidence, the Continental dual-channel ABS certainly will.
- SUSPENSION: If the way it looks impresses you, putting it through its paces will blow your happy mind. Full chromoly steel frame construction creates the rigidity of a performance motorcycle on the hunt for S-curves. The top-of-the-line KYB 41mm, fully adjustable, upside-down fork paired with a KYB link-mounted rear shock create a mean, leaning machine.
- LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME: The full chromoly steel frame construction is complemented with a lightweight gravity cast aluminum swingarm. Less weight equals more performance.
- WHEELS AND TIRES: You can lean on these tires with utmost confidence. Behold the Maxxis MA-ST2. A.K.A. Supermaxx ST. Superb grip. Reliable in wet conditions. Great road feel. Now about those rims. Gorgeous. Need we say more?
- LIGHTING: Lighting is one of the most important safety features of your motorcycle. Full LED lighting with signature DRL (daytime running light) and taillight includes an automatic headlight and turn signal system. You’re not just lighting the way. You’re a beaming presence for everyone to see.
- RETRO STYLE: In the spirit of café racer tradition, the Sport version of the CL-X gets clip-on handlebars with bar-end mirrors. The tail section features an optional rider pillion.
- ENGINE: With the flick of your wrist, Bosch® EFI delivers the precise amount of fuel to the 693cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin unleashing 74 exhilarating horsepower at 8500 rpm. Multiple power modes give you the choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preferred riding style. ETC (electronic throttle control), a drive-by-wire fuel delivery system, enlists a sensor to read throttle input which is transmitted to the ECU (electronic control unit) for lightning-fast engine response.
- SUSPENSION: Full chromoly steel frame construction creates the rigidity of a performance motorcycle on the hunt for S-curves. The top-of-the-line KYB 41mm, fully adjustable, upside-down fork paired with a KYB link-mounted rear shock create a mean, leaning machine.
