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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The full chromoly steel frame construction is complemented with a lightweight gravity cast aluminum swingarm.
You can lean on these tires with utmost confidence. Maxxis MA-ST2.
The Sport version of the CL-X gets clip-on handlebars with bar-end mirrors.
