Honda Forza Z is equipped with advanced technologies such as a smart card key system that is effective in deterring theft and Honda S Matic that can select between automatic mode and 6-speed manual mode, since its launch in July 2004. It is a popular model.
The front/rear wheel interlocking ABS newly installed in this "Forza Z" has a hydro combination brake system that interlocks the front/rear wheel brakes by simply grasping the left brake lever, and braking. It is a system that combines ABS to avoid locking the front and rear wheels due to passing.
In addition, by changing the design of the seat surface and adopting a seat with improved cushioning, a more comfortable ride is realized. The front brake caliper is gold-colored, and a glossy body-colored meter panel cover is used to create a luxurious feel. In addition, the ABS indicator lamps in the instrument panel and the ABS stickers placed on the left and right of the front fender cover claim to be equipped with front/rear wheel interlocking ABS.
The coloring is set in two colors, a fearless pearl cyber black and a vivid pearl milky white.
Forza is a model that has gained support for its sporty and innovative styling and nimble driving since its launch in 2000. Fully remodeled in 2004, it has improved comfort not only when riding alone but also when riding two people while having a high texture, and has gained high support from a wide range of people, mainly in their 20s.
