Honda NSS 300 Forza Limited Edition

Honda introduced a Limited Edition version of the Honda Forza 300 for 2020.  It will be available in a Exclusive ‘Air Force’ Grey colour scheme with contrasting red stitching on the leather seat, matching wheel rim tape, a colour matched Smart Key top box and a new distinctive Forza 300 logo.   It will also still be available in the colours already in the range - Crescent Blue Metallic, Pearl Nightstar Black, Matt Cynos Grey Metallic and Matt Pearl Cool White.

No changes were made to the 2018-19 Forza 300 for 2020, except for a revised chassis that offers a higher seat height and improved visibility.

The Forza 300 is the ideal all-round scooter boasting excellent build quality, fresh design and usable practicality perfect for both commuter travel and weekend highway trips.

The liquid-cooled fuel-injected SOHC four-valve engine has power characteristics tuned, via a gas flowed head, long reach spark plugs and altered valve timing, to deliver an entertaining ride at low, mid and high rpm – plus excellent fuel economy.

A significant feature is it's Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which detects any difference between the front and rear wheel speeds, calculates the slip ratio and then controls engine torque via the fuel injection to regain rear wheel traction. HSTC can be switched ON-OFF via a switch on the left handlebar. A ‘T’ indicator in the digital display flickers when the system is working to manage grip.

The Forza 300s engine is well-proven and engineered to last – a roller type rocker arm, plain journal crank bearings and sealed crankcases deliver long-term reliability; oil capacity is 1.7-litres and a 5mm offset cylinder reduces internal friction. An automatic centrifugal clutch works a V-Matic transmission, with ratios set for fast low speed reaction and smart acceleration, and belt final drive. Bore and stroke are 72mm x 68.6mm, with a compression ratio of 10.5:1.  The fuel tank holds 11.5-litres.

The chassis of the Forza 300 is a tubular steel frame with a wheelbase of 1510mm. Rake is 26.3° with trail of 89mm, and the radiator and battery are located between the fuel tank and under-seat storage area, focusing mass to the centre.

Sturdy 33mm telescopic forks are matched by twin rear shock absorbers – adjustable through 7-stage spring preload – working through a 1-piece aluminium swingarm. The cast aluminium 15-inch front wheel is fitted with a 120/70-15 tyre while the 14-inch rear wears a 140/70-14 tyre, offering maximum traction and ride comfort. A 256mm single disc performs stopping duties up front, mated to a 240mm rear, with the benefit of 2-channel ABS for braking control on slippery surfaces.
