The automatic centrifugal clutch works with a V-Matic gearbox, tuned for quick response at low speeds and smart acceleration, as well as a belt final drive.The Forza 350 is equipped with the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system, which controls the torque when traction is lost, and can also be deactivated.
