2025 Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT 50th Anniversary
Performance Guide
This guide focuses on how the Gold Wing Tour DCT 50th Anniversary feels on the road—smooth six-cylinder power, confident braking, and touring-friendly control systems that make long days in the saddle easier.
Six-cylinder engine character
At the heart of the Gold Wing Tour is a 1833cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder four-stroke engine. The flat-six layout helps keep mass low and balanced, contributing to a planted feel at speed and a composed ride when the bike is fully loaded for touring.
Built for long-distance momentum
Smooth, consistent power delivery is the goal on a touring platform—especially when riding two-up or carrying luggage.
DCT performance: smooth shifts, confident control
This model uses a seven-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Dual clutches pre-select the next gear, which helps keep acceleration seamless and reduces the “shift shock” you can feel on big touring bikes. For riders who spend time in stop-and-go traffic around San Diego or prefer relaxed highway cruising, DCT can make the ride feel more effortless.
Also included: Hill Start Assist, Reverse, and Walking Mode—helpful for low-speed maneuvering and parking a fully equipped touring bike.
Braking feel
Touring performance includes predictable stopping power. The Gold Wing Tour uses dual 320mm front discs and a single 316mm rear disc, plus ABS for added confidence on varied road surfaces.
Ride modes & traction
With ride modes, throttle-by-wire, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), the bike is set up to tailor response for comfort-focused touring or more spirited backroad pacing.
Stability at speed
A long 66.9-inch wheelbase and touring geometry (30.5° rake, 4.3-inch trail) support straight-line stability—ideal for highway miles and crosswinds.
