2018 HONDA® GOLD WING® Candy Ardent RedTHE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE TOURING MACHINEThis is bike 43 years in the making. Rebuilt from the road up. Refined inside and out. Ready for anything. There’s new engine. New front suspension. All in more agile body that’s over 85 pounds lighter. You’ll also find the latest in technology, including Apple CarPlayTM integration, and five distinct trim levels to suit your style. The 2018 Gold Wing is designed to push the limits of what touring bike can be. And expand the adventure beyond anything imagined.Features may include:PERFORMANCEENGINEThe Gold Wing’s horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and powerful. We’ve kept that same overall architecture, but it’s an all-new 1833cc powerplant for 2018, and over 13 pounds lighter.ALUMINUM CYLINDERS SLEEVESHigh-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact.UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGNThe new engine uses four-valve, Unicam® cylinder head design. That improves engine performance and power, and also contributes to the engine’s weight reduction. The four-valve per cylinder design is also big part of the new Gold Wing’s improved fuel efficiency.6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONWant manual transmission? The new Gold Wing offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. Case in point: now you get an overdrive sixth gear.HANDLINGDOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSIONOne look and your eyes will immediately go to the Gold Wing’s radical, new Honda-engineered double-wishbone front suspension. The innovative design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke, and that lets us move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel. You get more room, and stellar handling.FRAMEThis latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you both smooth ride and precise handling.SWING ARM/REAR SUSPENSIONUsing our proprietary single-sided Pro Arm® design, the aluminum swingarm still houses the Gold Wing’s shaft drive. The swingarm links to the frame using new, patented pivot structure that both increases stiffness and reduces weight. You get responsive handling and smoother ride.ANTI-LOCK BRAKESHave to make hard stop, fully loaded and two up? All new 2018 Gold Wings are equipped with combined anti-lock brakes for excellent stopping power under wide variety of road and traction conditions.
