American Honda To Offer 2018 NC750X

The new model year brings a 75cc displacement increase to 745cc, along with the addition of two-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), while mode changes to the automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) allow the possibility of higher-rpm shift points. When it was originally introduced in 2012, the NC700 (as it was called then) was noted for its "crossover" styling and innovative features. Now, updates result in a sportier character and a larger engine. The result is a fresh take on a highly functional machine that is more versatile than ever.

"We're pleased to be able to offer the NC750X to our customers, especially with these new, performance-oriented updates," said Lee Edmunds, American Honda's Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications. "Customers will continue to appreciate this model's practical benefits, while a displacement increase, HSTC, and DCT improvements give it a more vibrant character as well."
