Easy-Operation Combined Brake System
Like
most of the scooters in the Honda line-up, both Deluxe and Standard
versions of the S-Wing feature the enhanced braking ease and control of
Honda’s innovative Combined Brake System. Linking together the
operation of a single 240mm three-piston calliper front disc brake with
a 220mm single-piston calliper rear disc, this highly effective system
provides both novice and experienced riders with easy, reassuring
braking control.
In this relatively simple system, the right-side
brake lever operates like a conventional motorcycle brake system,
controlling the two outer pistons of the three-piston front brake
calliper for strong, responsive braking operation. Breaking with
conventional designs, the left-side brake lever controls not only the
rear disc brake, it also actuates the centre piston of the front brake
calliper by way of an inline pressure equaliser. This smoothly balanced
combination of front and rear brake operation gives riders an extra
boost in braking control, even if only the left-side lever is used.
When both levers are used, the S-Wing provides the same sharply
responsive feel of braking control one would expect with many larger
motorcycles.
Spacious Riding Comfort
The S-Wing’s relaxed and
roomy riding position is highlighted by its wide-coverage front cowl
which effectively keeps the blast of wind at bay, its plush, deeply
contoured stepped seat, and its comfortably positioned handlebars. This
layout contributes to the S-Wing’s effortless handling in virtually all
traffic conditions, while its slim proportions in the seat area assure
an easy reach to the ground for riders of all sizes. Its spacious
contoured seat also provides comfortable and secure seating for two,
even on longer rides.
EQUIPMENT
Attractive, Automotive-Style Instrument Panel
The
S-Wing’s wide, recessed instrument panel conveys the look of a luxury
sedan with its attractively designed four-dial façade. Its smartly
appointed design provides a steady reminder of Honda’s unerring
attention to detail. Instruments include a large, easy-to-read
speedometer and tachometer pair positioned within easy view at the
panel’s centre surrounded by paired coolant temperature and fuel
gauges. Prominently positioned indicator lights and a large LCD digital
clock and dual-trip meter complete the design together with a handy
average fuel consumption readout that continually gauges fuel economy
based on, among other factors, throttle operation. Finally, the whole
assembly is recessed behind an attractively styled clear plastic lens
and backlit by coolly illuminating white LEDs (Standard version: amber).
Spacious Under-Seat Carrying Compartment
As
with most of the models in Honda’s fine line-up of scooters, the new
S-Wing features a handy carrying compartment under its locking tilt-up
seat for ample carrying convenience and a secure place to store one’s
helmet or daily necessities. Designed to hold both a full-face and
open-face helmet with room to spare, this spacious compartment also
provides ample capacity for an A3 briefcase, a load of shopping or
other travelling essentials.
Up front, a compact locking compartment
further enhances the S-Wing’s carrying convenience and security by
keeping such small essentials as gloves, papers and other articles
close at hand without having to leave the seat. For the busy executives
the S-Wing commuter is specially directed at, this compartment also
features a handy 12V DC utility socket for charging mobile phones and
other accessories. Shopping bags and other bulky items with handles or
straps can be easily and securely hung from the convenient fold-out
carrying hook centrally located to the right of the compartment door.
Compact Rear Carrier
Behind
the S-Wing’s comfortable tandem seat is located a compact moulded resin
rear carrier that also offers a comfortable hand grip for pillion
passengers. Like similar carriers found on Honda’s SH series of
big-wheeled scooters, this rack is specially designed with moulded-in
attachment points to allow for easy one-touch mounting of a specially
designed 35-litre top box (optionally available), which quickly clips
directly onto the carrier and can be secured with a key. No other
mounting hardware is required.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Honda Access will be supplying the new S-Wing with a broad assortment
of optional parts and accessories to further extend its range of
operating versatility while elegantly complementing its cosmopolitan
style. These accessories include:
35-Litre Top Box
A
stylish 35-litre top-box designed specially for easy, one-touch
mounting on the S-Wing’s rear carrier. Able to carry a full-face helmet
or two open-face helmets, its upper lid is painted in body-matched
colours. The locking box also comes with its own set of keys.
Back Rest Pad
A pillion backrest pad that attaches to the front surface of the top box to enhance riding comfort.
Adjustable Top Box Liner
A
nylon top box inner bag featuring a size-adjustment zipper that permits
easy expansion from 15 litres in volume to 25 litres. The bag also
features a handy A4-sized front pocket, and an adjustable shoulder belt
and carrying handle for easy transport out of the top box. Features a
silver Honda Wing logo printed on the front pocket.
Pillion Back Rest
This
backrest is designed to mount directly to the standard rear carrier,
for an elegant, sporty and perfectly integrated look that also greatly
enhances pillion passenger comfort.
Lower Windscreen
A specially designed lower (395mm) windscreen complements the S-Wing’s styling with a sportier look.
Stainless Steel Footrest Panels
A
set of four stainless steel footrest plates with rubber grip pads that
add an eye-catching dash of elegance to visually upgrade the S-Wing’s
stylish good looks.
Decorative Body Moulding
A set of four
chromed decorative side body mouldings designed to enhance and
accentuate the curves of the S-Wing’s design. Two fit along the edges
of the scooter’s leg shields and two extend under the sides of the seat.
Alarm Kit
This
system features a vibration-sensitive electronic anti-theft alarm that
warns off vandals and potential thieves with a penetrating high-decibel
shriek.
U-Lock
A compact yet sturdy U-lock with a tamper-resistant barrel key lock that can be carried in the under-seat compartment.
Body Cover
A
rugged, full-coverage body cover protects the S-Wing’s paint from the
sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation. Water resistant, the cover is
made from breathable fabric which allow the vehicle to dry while
covered. Tie ropes affixed to the lower edges allow the cover to be
tightened underneath to avoid fluttering which might damage the
paintwork. Two holes in the lower front area of the cover enable a
U-Lock to be securely passed through.
