2021 Honda CBR600RR: HIGH-REVVING. NIMBLE. RESPONSIVE.

Introducing the 2021 Honda CBR600RR…

Over the years, Honda’s CBR600RR has attained semi-legendary status, in part thanks to its eight World Supersport crowns (nine counting its CBR600F predecessor). For 2021, the middleweight supersport machine returns in a new Grand Prix Red Tricolor. Between its high-revving inline four-cylinder engine; nimble, responsive chassis and supple Showa 41 mm Big Piston Fork, the CBR600RR is equally at home on twisty back roads and at dedicated track days.

 

 

 

 

2021 Honda CBR600RR Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features
  • 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder
  • Honda Electronic Steering Damper
  • Unit Pro-Link® Suspension
  • Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) Inverted Fork

 

ENGINE / DRIVETRAIN

  • Centrally located ram-air intake system delivers midrange power and good throttle response in the high-rpm range.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

  • The 41 mm Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) features a large damper piston that generates damping forces at low internal pressures to allow for smooth, responsive fork action. Adjustable for spring preload plus compression and rebound damping.
  • Unit Pro-Link® rear suspension.
  • Using knowledge gained from the Honda RC212V MotoGP race program, the aerodynamic design allows minimal drag. The development and testing used with this CBR600RR bodywork, in turn, led to aerodynamic advancements that were incorporated into the RC213V.
  • This aerodynamic efficiency lends itself to agile handling and good wind deflection for maximum rider comfort.

2021 Honda CBR600RR Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

UNAPOLOGETIC PERFORMANCE
Open-class four-cylinder liter bikes have long been the holy grail for the best sportbike riders. Powerful, precise machines that stand at the very top of motorcycling’s hierarchy. On the track, they command your full attention. On the street, they give you a ride like nothing else with a license plate. And make no mistake: Honda’s 2021 CBR1000RR and CBR1000RR ABS are two of the best you’ll ever ride. Spectacular, refined handling. Immediate, absolute power. And all in a package that offers Honda’s legendary quality, and a level of comfort and rideability no racebike can match. Machines like these are a rare breed, and so are their riders. But once you experience a CBR1000RR, it’s hard to be truly satisfied with anything less.

HI-PERFORMANCE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE
Featuring high-compression 13:1 pistons, the CBR1000RR revs like only a flat-plane inline-four can. It also makes ten horsepower more than
our previous generation of CBR1000RR.

LIGHTWEIGHT SUB-FRAME
Almost a full pound lighter than our previous generation, the CBR1000RR sub-frame further refines our mass centralization e orts. Light is always right, and this is the lightest CBR1000RR we’ve ever produced.

THIN FILM TRANSFER DISPLAY
TFT means an instrument display that’s lighter and easier to read than previous LCD designs. It’s a first for Honda, and it’s made its premiere on the CBR1000RR.

FULL LED LIGHTING PACKAGE
Headlights, tail lights, turn signals—with the CBR1000RRs it’s all done with lightweight, effecient, cool LEDs.

 

PERFORMANCE

HI-PERFORMANCE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE

Featuring high-compression 13:1 pistons, the CBR1000RR revs like only a flat-plane inline-four can. It also makes ten horsepower more than our previous generation of CBR10000RR.

ENGINEERING

ASSISTED SLIPPER CLUTCH

Superbikes can deliver a great deal of back-torque through the driveline, upsetting handling—not the CBR1000RR models. Its Honda-designed assisted slipper clutch is the same type used on our MotoGP bikes. The design does away with the need for heavy clutch springs, ensuring full power transmission with smooth shifting and a light clutch pull at the lever.

THIN FILM TRANSFER DISPLAY

TFT means an instrument display that’s lighter and easier to read than previous LCD designs. It’s a first for Honda, and it’s made its premiere on the CBR1000RR.

EFFICIENT RADIATOR DESIGN

Almost an inch narrower than on our previous-generation CBR1000RR, and featuring a high-density core. Plus the radiator tucks in tighter and cools just as efficiently.

FULL LED LIGHTING PACKAGE

Headlights, tail lights, turn signals—with the CBR1000RRs it’s all done with lightweight, efficient, cool LEDs.

 

TECHNOLOGY

THROTTLE BY WIRE

The CBR1000RR’s throttle-by-wire system works in concert with our Honda Selectable Torque Control. With the two, you get your choice of three engine power-delivery modes, plus two which you can custom program yourself.

Honda ELECTRIC STEERING DAMPER (HESD)

Most steering dampers only sense handlebar-deflection speed. The Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) is way more sophisticated. It also detects vehicle speed, and adjusts damping proportionally. That helps maintain low-speed maneuverability while providing excellent, predictable high-speed handling.

 

POWER

DUAL-STAGE FUEL INJECTION

The CBR1000RRs feature two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance, instantaneous high-rpm response and great low-rpm metering and clean running. Refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings.

LIGHTWEIGHT SUB-FRAME

Almost a full pound lighter than our previous generation, the CBR1000RR sub-frame further refines our mass centralization efforts. Light is always right, and this is the lightest CBR1000RR we’ve ever produced.

Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)

With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), we’ve got your back, but you’re in control. Here’s how it works: The system automatically adjusts engine power and grip to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip. You get your choice of five power curves, ten torque-control levels, three engine-braking levels, and now three selectable levels of wheelie control so it’s easier than ever to dial your bike in at the track.

SLIMMER ERGONOMICS

These CBR1000RRs are much slimmer than previous models in the tank/seat junction area, and also in the upper cowl (more than 24mm trimmer). This improves aerodynamics, and the narrow tank makes it easier to tuck in.
