The CTX1300T design philosophy is well defined by its name. The ‘C' in CTX stands for Comfort, which equals easy-to-access driveability and usability, with low noise at higher speeds and excellent stability, low seat height, and relaxed riding position.

T’ is Technology, a characterful and high-torque V4 engine, Honda’s Traction Control System (TCS), Combined ABS, LED lights and indicators plus a twin-speaker Bluetooth stereo system.

‘X’ is eXperience, smooth and enjoyable all-round performance and cruiser-style riding position. The CTX1300T, with all of these qualities, is a unique proposition, designed to fit neatly with many rider’s desires and expectations.

Ever the innovators, Honda has once again struck out in a bold new direction. Following on the heels of the successful CTX700 models, Honda introduces the next model in the CTX range, the CTX1300T. Built around the venerable ST1300 V4 power plant, the CTX1300T enjoys impressive performance but delivers it in a more relaxed, less aggressive style.

The low seat height and natural riding position make it extremely user friendly and immediately familiar to cruiser riders, but the silky smooth engine and sophisticated neutral handling chassis may be more reminiscent of a sport tourer. Right at home on the open road, this impressive do-it-all features integrated saddlebags, a protective frame-mounted fairing, a twin speaker stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, heated handlebar grips and, best of all, a fuel range of over 300 km from the under-seat tank so nothing spoils the fun. The CTX1300T looks like nothing else out there and works like nothing else out there, looks like Honda has done it again.

Features and Benefits

Engine

The longitudinally-mounted 8-valve 1,261 cc, water-cooled, fuel-injected 90° V4 power unit from the ST1300 has received major revisions for use in the CTX, boosting low and mid-range torque. Revised cam timing and new PGM-FI throttle bodies are responsible for the change in the engine’s output and character..
The engine’s characterful feel and sound have been amplified by the use of uneven (150mm difference) exhaust pipe lengths in the 4-2-2 system..
Overall gearing is tall, lowering engine rpm and adding to the tranquil, enjoyable ride..
5-speed gearbox and hydraulic clutch drive the rear wheel via maintenance-free shaft drive..
Honda’s Traction Control System (TCS) constantly monitors front and rear wheel speed plus various engine parameters and throttle position. When variations that could mean an imminent loss of traction are registered TCS momentarily reduces engine power by a combination of ignition cut and modulation of the throttle butterflies through the throttle-by-wire system. As the difference in speed between front and rear wheels diminishes, the system transitions into modulating only the throttle butterflies. This ensures seamless, unobtrusive traction control operation..

SUSPENSION

Brand new steel double cradle split downtube frame with conservative geometry adds to the relaxed and comfortable nature of the CTX..
690 mm long aluminum swingarm operates twin rear shocks, featuring mechanical spring preload adjustment so the ride can be tailored to suit the load..
43 mm inverted forks provide supple and well-damped control..
Cast aluminum wheels – 18-inch x 3.5-inch front/17 x 6.25-inch rear – sport wide 130/70 R18 and 200/50R17 tires..
Combined Braking System with ABS provides both the operating ease of linked front and rear brakes and the control of an advanced Anti-lock Braking System..

Additional Features

A short screen injects attitude to the CTX1300’s silhouette while dual rear panniers integrate fluidly and provide useful storage space. The riding position, with naturally placed swept-back handlebars and forward-set footpegs, is comfortable for a variety of rider sizes..
19.5-litre fuel tank is situated under the seat, lowering the centre of gravity.
Twin-speaker stereo system – controlled from the handlebars – works with iPod, MP3 player and smartphones, displaying track information centrally on the dash. Bluetooth connectivity also allows use of helmet headsets, rider to pillion or bike-to-bike systems..
Analogue speedometer and tachometer provide vital information at a glance, while the LCD digital display includes odometer, trip meter, fuel consumption, engine temperature and clock..
