The diamond-type frame marketed by Honda as an important feature, which improves stability and handling. A double cradle frame, or this frame design, is said to be more rigid and weight distributed than more basic frame types. Some riders, however, wonder whether that makes a huge difference in everyday riding and whether that's the case for a commuter bike. The debate continues about whether this frame design is something the average rider can really feel the benefits of, or if it's just a marketing gimmick. Depending on the riding conditions, some enthusiasts argue that the frame impact is more noticeable, while others say that the difference is insignificant to most typical commutes.
