Honda E-Clutch - Overview and Review
Here is the Honda E-Clutch on the CBR650R….
- World-first technology allows the rider to start, stop and change gear without using the clutch lever - just the shift pedal.
- Available as an option from new; system adds 2kg to kerb weight.
- Honda E-Clutch also allows normal operation of the clutch lever
- Brings more enjoyment and flexibility across a wide range of scenarios, for a ‘next level’ riding experience
Honda E-Clutch takes elements of the technology and performance of quickshifters, manually-operated clutches and Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission technology to create a unique blend of these well-proven approaches, opening up a whole new aspect of the motorcycling experience for riders of every type and experience level. The clutch and transmission hardware themselves are no different from a conventional motorcycle, with the ultra-compact system weighing only 2 kilograms.
In operation, Honda E-clutch is simplicity itself, taking away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, bringing extra enjoyment to sporty riding. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the system manages both scenarios smoothly, while taking away the possibility of the engine stalling when in operation, providing extra convenience and peace of mind to town riding involving frequent starts and stops.
In addition to enjoyment and convenience, Honda E-Clutch brings ultimate flexibility. Should the rider wish, they are able to operate the clutch lever as normal at any time. When the clutch lever is used, the Honda E-clutch system will re-activate after less than a second above a certain engine rpm; after 5 seconds at lower engine speeds. Should the rider wish to turn off the system for a particular ride, this is also possible via the switchgear on the left handlebar.

    How about slow speed stuff? Doing figure-eights for example, is it doable with just the e-clutch or would it rather require traditional, manual feathering of the clutch lever?

    • @MidlandsMotorbikers
      @MidlandsMotorbikers 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It is possible as it slips the clutch very well, positive throttle and some rear break will allow it to work great at slow speed Or if you prefer you can pull the clutch in yourself to override it at any point. Best of both worlds! :-)

    It’s beautiful bike but for 6/7k you can literally buy a tiger 900 from a dealer second hand. Not sure kids with a CBT would appreciate its looks or afford it. Actual bikers won’t get one so your down to a very small market 65+ year olds who haven’t ridden before but they’ll probably go for an A2 Enfield for retro sheer.

    Nice one James I got to use mine in anger yesterday at Mallory after riding with one for 3 years. I dont have an airbag race suit but shoved it on over my 1 piece and its as close as I can get to an airbag race suit good few sessions on the track then. Next thing Off the bike bang bounce bounce bounce and all ok bit dizzy and a few WTF's. New canister and good to go again. 100% recommend these for any rider airbags work. We never choose when we are going to have a bad moment so best to consider it before it happens and make sure you wear it.
