Features and Style
Performance
The CB1000 Hornet SP draws power from a 999cc liquid-cooled, DOHC inline four-cylinder engine, delivering 115.6 kW at 11,000 rpm and 107 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Developed from the 17YM CBR1000RR Fireblade, it features re-engineered pistons, optimised valve timing, and revised gearing for explosive acceleration and a broad torque curve. The Quick Shifter lets you shift up and down for seamless gear changes without using the clutch. The Assist & Slipper Clutch reduces lever effort and prevents rear-wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifting. Fine-tune your ride with five selectable modes, adjusting Power, Traction Control, and Engine Braking to suit your preference. Choose from Standard, Sport, Rain, and two customisable User Modes for a tailored riding experience.
Handling and Suspension
The CB1000 Hornet SP is engineered for ultimate agility and control, featuring fully adjustable Showa 41mm SFF-BP inverted front forks and an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock. This ensures responsive handling, whether carving corners or cruising through traffic. Equipped with Brembo Stylema front calipers and floating 310mm discs, the CB1000 Hornet SP delivers exceptional stopping power. The rear Nissin caliper grips a 240mm disc, providing balanced, controlled braking. Built on a new twin-spar aluminium frame, the CB1000 Hornet SP optimises mass centralisation, lowering the centre of gravity for greater stability and razor-sharp handling.
Styling
Minimalist yet aggressive, the CB1000 Hornet SP exudes pure muscle. Designed with sharp, aggressive lines and a mechanically raw aesthetic, this motorcycle commands attention. A new dual-projector LED headlight creates a fierce, unmistakable presence, while the streamlined LED tail light ensures high visibility. Matt Ballistic Black Metallic – Accentuated with premium gold detailing, this exclusive finish enhances the CB1000 Hornet SP’s presence on the road.
Technology
The CB1000 Hornet SP features a high-resolution 5-inch TFT instrument panel with multiple display modes (Bar, Circle, Simple) and background colour options (White, Black, Auto). Stay connected on the go with Honda RoadSync, enabling navigation, calls, messages, and music control via a handlebar switch and Bluetooth headset. For enhanced safety, the ESS system automatically activates hazard lights during sudden braking, alerting surrounding traffic.
