Riding Precautions

Honda Selectable Torque Control

When the Honda Selectable Torque Control (Torque Control) detects rear wheel spin during acceleration and wheel lock caused by regenerative braking during deceleration, the system will limit the amount of torque applied to the rear wheel.


Torque Control may not compensate for rough road conditions or rapid throttle operation. Always consider road and weather conditions, as well as your skills and condition, when applying throttle.


If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, snow, or sand, it may be easier to free it by turning off the Torque Control temporarily.

Temporarily turning off Torque Control also may help you maintain control and balance when riding on off-road terrain.

Always use the recommended tyres and pulleys to ensure correct Torque Control operation.
