BF90
Introduction
Completely redesigned, Honda’s BF90 brings exclusive Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC™) to mid-range horsepower outboards.
The new model boasts a range of other Honda-exclusive technologies, superior performance and an impressive power-to-weight ratio to place the engine at the top of its class.
The BF90’s high-performance gear case with a low 2.33:1 gear ratio, coupled with Honda’s revolutionary Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) creates an explosive hole shot unlike anything ever before seen in four-stroke outboards, while VTEC™ ensures top performance at all levels.
Inspired by the same remarkable 1.5lt, SOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine that powers Honda’s number one selling motor vehicle, the ‘Jazz’, the BF90’s multi-port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system delivers top fuel economy in a very lightweight package.
In fact, with the exception of the cylinder sleeves, the engine boasts an all-aluminium alloy block, making the BF90 the lightest weight outboard engine in its class at just 163kg!
Honda’s patented non-linear mounting system ensures ultra smooth operation at all speeds, while a patented 35amp alternator provides superior charging capacity.
The patented 4-Front Corrosion Protection also fights off corrosion from harsh marine environments to ensure extended engine life.
Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC™)
A Honda exclusive, VTEC™ utilises mild cam lobes to operate the intake valves at low rpm, then engages a high-output cam lobe at high rpm. This state-of-the art design provides a unique blend of power, torque and efficiency at any speed.
