Suspension: what’s on the bike

Showa SFF-BP fork

Front: 41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork

  • Spec: 41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork; 4.7-inch travel
  • Why it matters: Inverted forks increase rigidity where you feel it most—at the bars—helping the front end stay composed during quick direction changes and hard braking.
  • Street takeaway: More confidence when you’re carving on-ramps or dealing with uneven pavement.

Rear: single shock

  • Spec: Single shock; 5.1-inch travel
  • Why it matters: A well-matched rear shock helps keep the tire planted when you roll on power and when the road surface changes mid-corner.
  • Street takeaway: Predictable traction and a stable feel when accelerating out of turns.

Brakes & wheels: control you can trust

Radial-mount front brakes

Radial-mounted front brakes + ABS

The CB650R E-Clutch uses dual 310mm front discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, plus ABS. Radial mounting helps improve caliper stiffness for a more direct lever feel, while ABS adds an extra layer of confidence when traction is unpredictable.

Front
Dual 310mm discs • 4-piston calipers • ABS
Rear
Single 240mm disc • ABS

Tires & stance

  • Front tire: 120/70-17
  • Rear tire: 180/55-17
  • Seat height: 31.9 inches
  • Curb weight: 456 lb (includes standard equipment, required fluids, and a full tank of fuel)

This combination supports a sporty, planted feel without giving up everyday usability—ideal for commuting, weekend rides, and everything in between.

Geometry: stability vs. agility
