Motorcycle performance, scooter accessibility
The Integra takes its name from the fact it integrates the ease of use of a scooter with the dynamic performance of a motorcycle. It has a feet-forward riding position, protection from the elements, internal storage and the advanced three-mode transmission in the shape of the second generation of Honda’s innovative Dual Clutch Transmission. At the same time it offers stability, handling and superb road-holding. The result is a unique and desirable modern machine, conceived to deliver a totally engaging riding experience while benefiting from the environmental and safety technologies customers expect of a 21st century vehicle.
At the heart of this new machine is a purpose-built engine and transmission package. The liquid-cooled, in-line 2-cylinder 670cc engine is a lightweight and compact unit positioned to give a low centre of gravity. It offers strong torque at low to medium engine rpm, where riders spend the vast majority of their riding time, together with a very usable power delivery, low emissions and superb fuel efficiency. The engine works with the second generation of Honda’s innovative Dual Clutch Transmission, which provides the convenience and ease of use of an automatic with the optional control of a manual mode should the rider choose.
Keywords like ‘fun’, ‘easy’, ‘comfort’ and ‘safety’ helped inform the design and engineering of the Integra. Although the new engine and Dual Clutch Transmission were critical to fulfilling the brief, the chassis too had to be truly versatile. Responsive handling was a given in order to deliver an involving and enjoyable riding experience, but the machine also needed the stability and ride quality required to commute on all kinds of roads.
