Riding modes

Authentic sound

Assist slipper clutch

The assist slipper clutch helps get all the CB1000R's power to the ground, while also providing a lighter pull at the clutch lever. Plus the slipper design helps mitigate wheel hop during aggressive downshifts and deceleration.

Quick-shifter

For fast and smooth upshifts, the CB1000R now comes standard with a quick-shifter — no loss of forward drive by having to pull in the clutch or back off the throttle when shifting.

Improved fuel-injection

New settings in the PGM-FI system provide even smoother power delivery and crisper throttle response.

Black Edition styling

You can’t miss the CB1000R’s evocative new Black Edition styling, which includes blacked-out engine, shrouds, exhaust, and chassis. Plus check out the machined aluminum wheels, redesigned passenger seat and seat rail, and new instrument panel visor. The monochrome look sends a definite message that the CB1000R is all business.

Riding comfort

The ergonomic seat design and slightly upright riding position increase comfort levels for everyday riding and provide better balance.

Bright lighting

A new headlight design for 2021 incorporates brilliantly bright LEDs to ensure exceptional visibility, night or day.
