Honda E-Clutch on CB650R – Genius or Gimmick?

Описание: Honda has unveiled something that could change motorcycling forever – the all-new Honda E-Clutch system, and we got hands-on with it on the latest 2025 Honda CB650R. In this video, we break down exactly what the E-Clutch is, how it works, who it’s designed for, and whether it's a game-changer or just a clever gimmick.

The Honda E-Clutch is an automatic clutch system that allows you to shift gears without using the clutch lever at all – but with a twist: the lever is still there if you want it. It’s the best of both worlds. You can ride in full manual mode using the lever, or let the bike handle clutch engagement and disengagement automatically. Unlike a traditional DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) or quickshifter, E-Clutch offers a more natural feel – giving you smooth, clutchless take-offs and gear shifts without any hesitation or jolts.

This technology is aimed at a wide range of riders:

New and returning riders who may find clutch operation intimidating.
Commuters looking for smoother, stress-free rides in urban traffic.
Experienced riders who want convenience without sacrificing control.
In our test ride of the 2025 CB650R, the E-Clutch impressed with how seamlessly it engaged at low speeds, in stop-start traffic, and even when cornering. It provides all the benefits of a traditional manual bike but with far less effort. No more stalling, no more feathering the clutch, and better focus on the road ahead.

For riders who love traditional manual gearboxes but want modern convenience, this could be the perfect middle ground. Unlike fully automatic scooters or bikes with DCT, the E-Clutch still keeps you connected to the mechanics of the bike — you control the gears, while the clutch operation is handled electronically.

We also cover:

How the E-Clutch compares to quickshifters and DCT.
How it affects overall ride feel and performance.
Who should consider upgrading or switching to an E-Clutch bike.
The 2025 Honda CB650R with E-Clutch might just be the perfect everyday bike – approachable, stylish, and now more accessible than ever with this new tech.
