The electronics package has been borrowed from the RC213V-S and CBR1000RR-R Fireblade superbike, which means, the CBR600RR is loaded with high safety tech such as a nine-stage lean-sensitive traction control as standard, anti-wheelie and rear lift control and cornering ABS. It also gets three riding modes, and two customisable setups – all controlled via its colour TFT display. The quickshifter can also be adjusted for three setting.

The CBR600RR has a twin-spar aluminium frame and is suspended by 41mm Showa big piston USD forks at the front, along with a Showa monoshock, both fully-adjustable. Furthermore, to aid the front four-piston calipers, Honda has added a new Nissin ABS modulator and ECU, which has also help reduce the weight of the motorcycle by 2.5 kilograms compared to the previous ABS system. One interesting thing about the CBR600RR is its winglets that aid in aerodynamics. It helps in generating downforce over the front tyre, and Honda states that the overall cornering stability is improved, as is corner speed.
