2025 Honda CB650R, CBR650R: E-Clutch Technology
Honda Motor Company developed the world’s first Honda E-Clutch system for motorcycles in November 2023 that enables smooth starting and gear shifting without the need for the rider to operate the clutch lever, by automatically controlling the clutch of the multi-gear manual motorcycle transmission.
The newly launched 2025 Honda CB650R and CBR650R mark a significant milestone as they become the first motorcycles in India to be equipped with Honda’s revolutionary E-Clutch technology.
Designed to cater to both relaxed and spirited riding styles, the e-clutch system enhances rider comfort by reducing fatigue and elevates the thrill of sporty maneuvering, bringing a seamless blend of control, convenience, and excitement.
