- Gets a new colour option
- No changes to features or specs
- To be launched in global markets soon
Honda has updated its popular NT1100 tourer for 2026 with a new Iridium Gray Metallic paint option, joining the existing Matt Warm Ash Metallic and Pearl Hawkseye Blue finishes. The brand calls it Europe’s “best-selling tourer”, and aside from the fresh colourway, the bike remains unchanged following the substantial 2025 refresh.
The NT1100 continues to be offered in two versions – the standard model and the NT1100 DCT Electronic Suspension variant. Both use Showa suspension, though the DCT-equipped model gains Showa’s Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA) system. The EERA setup constantly fine-tunes damping in real time, using inputs from the ECU, IMU, and a stroke sensor to adjust within just 15 milliseconds. It’s designed to deliver optimal ride comfort and control across varying conditions.
As part of the 2025 upgrades, Honda introduced a revised height-adjustable windscreen, operable with one hand, and twin LED headlights with integrated DRLs and indicators for enhanced visibility. The front mudguard was extended by 150mm to improve weather protection, while a larger seat ensures greater long-distance comfort.
Power comes from a 1,084cc parallel-twin engine, producing 100bhp at 7,500rpm and 112Nm of torque at 5,500rpm, a modest bump of 6.5Nm over the previous model, delivered lower in the rev range for improved midrange performance.
While Honda is expected to roll out the 2026 NT1100 in global markets soon, there is no word about it coming to our shores yet.
