The 2021 Honda Gold Wing has been unveiled overseas. The new model of the highly popular Japanese luxury touring motorcycle gets a bunch of new interesting features.
For the 2021 Gold Wing, Honda has worked
to enhance passenger comfort. The Tour models feature a redesigned backrest for
the passenger seat that provides a more relaxed angle. Also, the improved
padding and a taller profile would make the overall riding experience for the
passenger that much better. For added premium-ness, Honda has also included
synthetic leather seat covers in the Tour models.
The storage capacity of the 2021 Gold Wing
Tour’s top boxes has been increased. With a total capacity of 61L, they can now
hold 11L of more cargo than before. This means accommodating two full-face
helmets should be easy and hassle-free. The Tour models also feature new 45W
speakers that come with automatic volume-adjustment level.
The new Honda Gold Wing supports Android
Auto connectivity that should enhance the overall riding as well as ownership
experience of the customers. The cruiser also has Apple CarPlay integration. As
for the styling, while the entire motorcycle remains the same as before, Honda
has slightly tweaked the lighting at the rear.
The 1.8L horizontally-opposed, 6-cylinder
engine of the 2021 Honda Gold Wing is available with either a 6-speed manual
transmission plus electric reverse or a 7-speed automatic DCT plus reverse and
walking mode. The power is delivered to the driven wheel via a shaft. The
standard model of the new Gold Wing is available in a new Pearl Deep Mud Grey
colour whereas the top-spec Tour variant of the cruiser gets Gunmetal Black
Metallic and the DCT Tour model has Candy Ardent Red paint scheme.
The entire range of the 2021 Honda Gold
Wing will be available in the US from February. The prices will start from USD
28,300. Honda is expected to bring the new Gold Wing here in India this year.
