CliQ

2018 Honda CliQ Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2018 Honda CliQ scooter motorcycle, Honda pairs a 109 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.8 HP (5.7 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 71.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the CliQ measures 102 kg (225 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 743 mm (29.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,241 mm (48.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 83 km/h (52 mph).
