How the 745cc parallel-twin delivers power

The NC750X DCT uses a 745cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin with a SOHC, four-valves-per-cylinder layout and Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). In real riding, that combination is designed to feel smooth and predictable—ideal for stop-and-go traffic, steady freeway cruising, and relaxed backroad pace.

Riders who value usable, everyday thrust will appreciate the engine’s approachable character. Pair it with the bike’s adventure-style ergonomics and you get a platform that’s comfortable to ride for longer stretches without feeling demanding.

Electronic fuel injection

PGM-FI response

Fuel injection helps keep throttle response consistent across changing conditions—useful for daily riding around San Diego and weekend elevation changes.
Throttle by wire

Throttle-by-wire

Electronic throttle control supports modern ride feel and works with the bike’s electronic aids for smoother transitions on and off the gas.
Honda Selectable Torque Control

HSTC traction support

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) is there to help manage rear-wheel traction—especially handy when road surfaces change unexpectedly.

DCT performance: what it changes about the ride

The six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) is a major part of the NC750X DCT experience. It’s designed to reduce workload in traffic and keep the ride smooth when you’re focused on the road ahead. For many riders, that means less fatigue on commutes and more relaxed pacing on longer days.

Because DCT handles clutch engagement and shifting, the bike can feel especially approachable for riders who want an adventure-style motorcycle with a simplified control setup.

  • Smooth, consistent shifting behavior for everyday riding
  • Less stop-and-go stress in city traffic
  • Pairs well with electronic aids like HSTC
Automatic DCT

Braking confidence with ABS

Disc brakes with combined ABS
The NC750X DCT features dual 296mm front discs with ABS and a 240mm rear disc with ABS. For real-world riding, ABS can add reassurance during quick stops or when traction is less than ideal.

Range & balance for daily miles

Under-seat fuel tank
With a 3.7-gallon fuel capacity and an under-seat fuel tank design, the NC750X DCT is built around practical day-to-day use. It’s a setup many riders appreciate for overall balance and convenience.
