2024 Honda CBR650R and CB650R First Look [with E-Clutch]

We debuted the new Honda E-Clutch final month. It’s an automated clutch that disengages the transmission if you come to a cease and permits for quickshifter-style clutchless shifting. It differs from a centrifugal clutch, in that it’s electronically managed, somewhat than a purely mechanical operation primarily based on engine pace. It’s additionally totally different from a DCT (dual-clutch transmission)—you shift manually, and there is just one clutch within the E-Clutch system. We’re seeing it for the primary time, unexpectedly built-in into the 2024 Honda CBR650R and CB650R—at the very least in Europe.

Honda is selling the brand new E-Clutch as greater than the comfort of stopping and accelerating away with out touching the clutch lever. Based on Honda, the E-Clutch is smoother and permits quicker shifting than a guide clutch. When making clutchless shifts, the E-Clutch partially disengages the clutch because it interrupts fueling and ignition. Honda describes the shifts as “ultra-fast.”

You should utilize the clutch lever usually along side the E-Clutch on the CBR650R and CB650R, or you may shut the system off totally and go full guide. The motion of the E-Clutch can be adjusted. A brand new five-inch TFT display screen helps you with that chore; it replaces the getting old LCD sprint on each bikes. The sprint could be paired to your smartphone through the Honda RoadSync app and Bluetooth.

Adjustments to the 2024 Honda CBR650R embody reworked twin LED headlights to enrich the utterly new entrance full fairing. The tail part can be revised.

We don’t have costs on the 2024 Honda CBR650R and CB650R, and we can also’t affirm that these two groundbreaking E-Clutch sport bikes will probably be coming to the USA. We hope they’re, American Honda!
