Honda's RN01 mountain bike
The name of Honda's bike combines the letters R and N, which stand for Racing and Natural force ('nature’s power'), followed by '01' to indicate that this is Honda's first ever bike model.
The RN01 was devised by Honda Japan’s motorcycle R&D team, and is a highly rigid, extremely durable bike. Honda engineers designed a special in-frame suspension system that translates unsprung weight into power. Extremely light brakes deliver superior braking for maximum control – vital in a sport where riders reach speeds of up to 50mph.
