The Japanese automaker officially announced the arrival of the latest version of its medium-displacement naked motorcycle at national dealers, consolidating its strategy for the current year. The model, which stands out for its significant volume of registrations in recent years, features specific aesthetic updates and new finishing options, preserving the mechanical set that made it a reference in energy efficiency. The initiative aims to maintain the product’s competitiveness in the face of rivals vying for the preference of urban and highway motorcyclists.
With a history of more than 140 thousand units sold since its reformulation in 2023, according to surveys by Fenabrave, the motorcycle reaffirms its strategic positioning in the brand’s portfolio. The launch, held simultaneously in São Paulo and other capitals, prioritizes renewing the visual appeal without changing the engineering that balances performance and maintenance costs, decisive factors for the category.
Availability in stores occurs progressively, meeting the demand for versatile vehicles that operate both on daily trips and on short trips. The maintenance of the mechanical characteristics suggests the manufacturer’s confidence in the robustness of the current project, focusing on the new features on the visual experience and the perception of value by the end customer.
Aesthetic renovation and visual identity
The 2026 line uses a revised color palette to attract different consumer profiles, maintaining the “Neo Sports Café” design philosophy. The version equipped with ABS brakes receives, exclusively, a pearlescent blue hue, in addition to the metallic red option. Já the entry configuration, with CBS brakes, offers metallic red and metallic gray. Essas changes aim to modernize the motorcycle’s appearance without impacting its dry weight, which remains at 139 kg.
The design continues to be marked by angular lines in the fuel tank and a minimalist optical assembly. The lighting is entirely LED, covering the headlight, taillight and direction indicators. Essa technology not only adds sophistication to the model, but also increases safety by improving visibility during night driving. The split seat, positioned 789 mm from the ground, was designed to facilitate foot support on the ground, democratizing access for riders of different heights.
Aerodynamic elements, such as the side fins integrated into the tank and the elevated tail, reinforce the sporty identity of the naked category. The wide handlebars provide an upright riding posture, essential for control in urban corridors and comfort on longer journeys.
Mechanical efficiency and performance
At the heart of the motorcycle, engineering chose to continue with the 293.5 cm³ single-cylinder engine, with simple overhead control (SOHC) and air cooling assisted by an oil cooler. The flex propellant delivers 24.7 horsepower at 7,500 rpm when fueled with ethanol, and a maximum torque of 2.67 kgfm at 5,500 rpm. The six-speed transmission has an assisted and slipper clutch, technologies that reduce the effort when operating the lever and prevent the rear wheel from locking during sudden downshifts.
Fuel consumption remains one of the model’s greatest attractions, recording averages of 28 km/l on gasoline. With a 14.1 liter tank, theoretical autonomy can exceed 390 kilometers, depending on the riding style. The Diamond type chassis, made of steel tubes, offers the necessary rigidity for quick maneuvers, working together with the 41 mm telescopic front suspension and 130 mm travel.
At the rear, the monoshock system offers preload adjustment and 120 mm travel, ensuring stability in curves and shock absorption on uneven roads. The 17-inch alloy wheels are shod with radial tires measuring 110/70 at the front and 150/60 at the rear, providing adequate grip on different asphalt conditions.
Technology and active safety
The instrument panel uses digital LCD technology with a blackout background, making it easier to read in intense sunlight. The display provides complete information, including speedometer, rev counter, gear indicator, fuel level, as well as instantaneous and average consumption data. The inclusion of an integrated USB-C port next to the dashboard meets the modern need for connectivity, allowing smartphones to be recharged on the go.
Security is treated with distinction between available versions. The top-of-the-line model has a two-channel ABS braking system, which acts on both wheels to prevent blocking during emergency braking, using 276 mm discs at the front and 220 mm at the rear. The brake calipers are supplied by Nissin, a brand recognized for its efficiency in hydraulic components.
The entry version uses the CBS system (Combined Brake System). Nesta configuration, actuating the rear brake pedal automatically transfers approximately 30% of the braking force to the front wheel. The feature aims to help drivers with less experience, balancing deceleration and reducing stopping space. Testes practical tests indicate that the version with ABS presents superiority on wet roads, with optimized braking distances from 100 km/h.
Market positioning and values
The brand’s commercial strategy positions the model competitively in the 250 to 300 cc segment. The suggested price for the CBS version starts at R$24,657, while the ABS variant has a base value of R$25,637, values referring to the state of São Paulo and without including shipping. The adjustment applied in relation to the previous year was contained, hovering around R$567, in an attempt to absorb inflation in the sector without scaring away buyers.
Direct competition includes models such as the Yamaha FZ25 and the Bajaj Dominar 200, which compete in the same price range and audience. However, the technical assistance network made up of more than 1,500 points and the three-year warranty with no mileage limit are differentiators exploited by the manufacturer to retain customer loyalty. Além In addition, the model shows low depreciation, with the table Fipe indicating robust resale values for used cars.
The combination of economy, updated design and mechanical reliability keeps the motorcycle as one of the main choices for those looking to migrate from low-displacement motorcycles to more powerful models, without bearing the high maintenance costs of higher categories.
