Honda explains the ‘pulse sensation’ in motorcycle engines

Honda is focusing on the development of a unique acoustic identity for its motorcycle engines, a concept the company refers to as the ‘pulse sensation’. According to Tatsumi-san, a Honda specialist in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH), this sensation is not merely a specific tone but a perception of how combustion-generated pulsations build a characteristic engine response.

This sensation is rooted in the combustion process within the intake interval, which influences how a rider perceives the engine's behavior during RPM changes. Honda's engineering philosophy emphasizes that this acoustic character must be integrated into the mechanical functioning of the engine during development rather than being added artificially through components like the exhaust system at a later stage.
