2026 Honda® Gold Wing Tour DCT Airbag Base

2026 Honda® Gold Wing Tour DCT Airbag

The open road is calling, and it always has been. Every motorcyclist knows the feeling. And one motorcycle makes your next great adventure possible: the Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT Airbag.

Features may include:

• Hill Start Assist

Getting going when you’re stopped on an hill can be challenging, but not with the Gold Wing’s standard Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds (3 seconds) your motorcycle’s position on inclines when the brakes are released and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back drama. It’s a great convenience, allowing smoother uphill launches and more rider confidence.

• Walking Speed Modes

All Gold Wings with DCT transmissions feature forward/reverse Walking Speed modes that allow you to creep forward or reverse under power using the DCT system combined with the Shift Down and Shift Up levers. Walking Speed modes move the motorcycle at approximately 1.8 km/h forward and 1.2 km/h backward. Think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike, especially if you need to roll back uphill.

• Advanced Ride Technology

Throttle-by-wire contributes to the Gold Wing’s stellar throttle response and smooth power delivery. Open road ahead? Standard electronic cruise control helps to make the ride even more relaxing.

• Selectable Riding Modes

Switch between four Selectable Riding Modes to easily find the power and performance to match your preferred riding style or the road conditions. Choose between Sport, Tour, Econ or Rain modes to automatically adjust throttle response, and braking characteristics

• 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT)

The Gold Wing Tour DCT incorporates Honda’s revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission, which takes the joy of riding to the next level by automating clutch and shift operation while retaining the direct feel of a manual transmission. DCT lets you take in the scenery and focus on your ride rather than which gear you should be in.

• Smooth, Responsive Power

The Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT gets its impressive power from an 1,833 cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with four-valve Unicam® cylinder head design. Not only does this advanced engine produce loads of power from way down low in the rev range, it delivers that power in an incredibly smooth and responsive manner.

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) constantly monitors your bike’s rear-wheel speed, and adjusts torque instantly. It’s a great feature when riding in the rain, on sandy, gritty roads, over wet leaves, or anywhere else where surface conditions can compromise traction.

• Idle Stop System

The industry’s first and exclusive Idle Stop System automatically stops/starts the engine when the motorcycle is stationary. The key goals when developing this system were to make starts very quiet and smooth in addition to reducing fuel consumption and lowering noise for the riders at traffic lights. The engine stops after about 3 seconds. To restart the bike, the rider simply twists the throttle and the engine immediately starts. This feature can be manually shut off through the Vehicle Setting Menu in the infotainment system or on the right toggle Start switch.
