Automotive and marine product releases

Overview

In mid-September 2026, several manufacturers in the automotive and marine sectors announced new product releases. Honda introduced the 2027 NT1100 touring motorcycle for the European market, featuring new color options while maintaining its existing engine specifications.

Ducati collaborated with SACS Marine and Pirelli to unveil the Pirelli 44 Ducati Edition, a limited-run maxi-RIB produced in only 26 units. This vessel features 1,500 hp from three Mercury Racing engines and incorporates MotoGP-inspired aesthetics.

Chinese manufacturer Benda entered the mid-range cruiser market with the Rock 707. Designed with a classic bobber aesthetic, the model features a 692cc V2 engine delivering 73 HP and 68 Nm of torque, utilizing a low-maintenance belt drive.

Technical specifications for the Rock 707 include a dual-chamber pneumatic rear suspension that automatically adjusts seat height between 690 mm and 720 mm to assist riders when stopping or accelerating. The European version is equipped with the BEC MK-III electronic clutch system, which allows for starting, shifting, and stopping without a clutch lever, though manual control remains an option. The motorcycle also features a six-speed gearbox, dual-motor redundancy in its electronic systems, cruise control, and a 3.6-inch TFT display.
