In 2020, Honda completely relaunched this Fireblade, in a much more competitive format, with users who will be riding the bike on the track or even in competition in mind.
An incredible bike that we had the opportunity to test on the Qatar circuit, but which was also very radical for what we were used to seeing from Honda. From then until 2024, the Japanese brand has made slight improvements, such as shortening the final drive ratio a little.
Now even the gearbox is a little shorter, so we have an incredibly full engine at all engine speeds. Inside this four-cylinder there are now much lighter components, which have reduced internal friction, so we have a very strong engine. There’s 217 horsepower, and although the power and maximum torque figures are similar, the truth is that we have more torque available in various rev ranges.
