The first reason - the seat height: The 20 millimeter shorter suspension travel of the Adventure Sports 2024 results in a seat height of 835 to 855 millimeters. As an option, Honda offers a lower seat that reduces the seat height to a minimum of 795 millimeters. This factor significantly improves stability in urban traffic - a feature that is particularly important when parking, frequently dismounting in traffic jams or during unexpected maneuvers and emergency braking. With a more secure stance, the relatively heavy motorcycle becomes significantly more accessible and increases safety in use during rush hour, on narrow city streets and in hectic everyday use.
The lower seat height allows riders of different stature to reach the ground more easily and thus keep the motorcycle more stable. This not only contributes to safety, but also to comfort, as riders need to exert less effort to control the motorcycle when stationary.
