The 2022 update gave Honda's A2-friendly naked twin a proper chassis upgrade: Showa SFF-BP upside-down forks, twin 296 mm front discs with radial Nissin calipers, a lighter swingarm and lighter wheels. The 471 cc parallel twin carried over in Euro 5 form with its slipper clutch, so the change was mostly about braking and front-end feel rather than outright performance.
