      super bike
      At the heart of the H2 SX is a 998cc, balanced, supercharged, inline-four engine. Unlike the track-only H2R, the SX is tuned for everyday street riding, delivering a massive 197.2 to 207 horsepower depending on the exact model year. Riders can dial in their experience using selectable power modes (e.g., Low, Medium, Full) to manage the engine's output in varying conditions.
