Honda Reveals: Over 35 Bookings Received for 2018 Honda Gold Wing [Price 27 Lakhs]

2018 Goldwing price is in the same ballpark as the older version but it is a significantly new model…

Honda unveiled the 2018 GoldWing at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show in November last year. And shortly after, the company launched the luxury tourer in our market. At the 2018 Auto Expo earlier this year, Honda showcased the motorcycle in India for the first time and very recently they commenced the deliveries of the motorcycle in Jaipur.

Now, what is surprising is the fact that, according to a press note shared by Honda moments back, they have revealed that the 2018 Gold Wing has received over 35 bookings in India – which is really impressive considering the segment the motorcycle is placed in.

Let us give you some quick details about the sofa-on-wheels…

2018 Goldwing Features & Changes

Here is a list of all the major changes and feature set of the new GoldWing…

  • The biggest change is the inclusion of Honda’s DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) which was first made famous by Africa Twin (also sold in India). This third gen DCT is a 7-speed unit and has a low-speed “Walking” mode apart from reverse. This will help in low-speed crawls and tight parking spaces.
  • The newest GoldWind also gets a double wishbone front suspension with single shock – World First for any Honda motorcycle! Honda says this helps in reducing friction as compared to the regular telescopics.
  • It also gets Cruise Control via Throttle by Wire along with 4 Rider Modes – Tour, Sport, Econ, Rain.

  • It comes with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) & Hill Start Assist
  • The new die-cast aluminium twin beam frame is stiffer and also lighter by 2 kg.
  • Another exclusive feature addition is Apple CarPlay which makes it the first motorcycle to get the feature in the world.
