2018 Honda Gold Wing Dyno

Honda’s 1,833cc liquid-cooled engine power delivery

March 8, 2018

We got our hands on a 2018 Honda Gold Wing and ran it on the dyno to get the peak horsepower and torque numbers for the 1,833cc, liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. The 2018 Honda Gold Wing comes in many different options and variations with the starting price being $23,500.

Running the 1,833cc six-cylinder on the dyno in fourth gear, we got a peak horsepower of 97.85 at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 108.41 pound-feet at 1,210 rpm.

Running fourth-gear pulls, the Gold Wing produced 97.85 hp and 108.41 pound-feet.Jon McDevitt
