What are your thoughts about the E-Clutch?

[@ZD-gj6tt]

Hvorfor ikke kjøpe en automat i stedet?

[@tkraft1442]

​@@ZD-gj6ttjelly?

[@emiltra0]

@@ZD-gj6tt Nevn en sykkel som er automat (som du faktisk har lyst på)

[@vika0194]

Something every bike should have. Manual clutch is unnecessary.

[@cyberpsychosis5367]

Can you compare this to quickshifter?

[@mehmetomercetin]

Finally someone explained it clearly. Thanks.

[@QualityMuffin]

I got you!

[@brentbradley6711]

@@QualityMuffin Yea, now i finally got it.

[@the7asmann]

BEST SHORTEST EXPLANATION!!!

[@Scuba-D]

You can also disengage e-clutch and ride it like a regular bike. Basically its middle ground between a regular bike and an automatic transmission bike. Honda is changing the game 💯

[@ShivrajHalyal]

Means bro can we just off e clutch mechanism if don't want it?

[@lume9887]

@@ShivrajHalyal there's an option to disable it completely via the menu

[@ShivrajHalyal]

@@lume9887 oh that's great!!! thanks for the help dude

[@ei..]

@@ShivrajHalyal Sadly it gets reset every time you turn off the bike. So you have to dig through the settings each time you want to disable it completely. but you can still use the clutch manually with it enabled. If you pull the clutch it will temporarily disable the e-clutch until the clutch has been untouched for a few seconds

[@ShivrajHalyal]

@@ei.. ohk..thanks for the info mate👍

[@aluisious]

This looks like it would be great for dealing with heavy traffic in cities. The clutch pull on my Multi is heavy and makes city riding tiring.

[@CrimsonInferno]

Yesssss! Im 100% getting this bike !

[@tombombadilofficial]

Question: how does it perform when going uphill from a complete stop?

[@SerhiiSuzanskyi]

Thank you for the clear and fast explanation!

[@JayM-wg7dd]

Hate it. Why bother learning skills to then get used to this and forget them all.

[@WalterRitchey]

So it works on both up and down shifts? And you don’t have to let off the throttle when shifting? I would love it for stop lights and starting in first gear, but would probably use the actual clutch lever manually for other shifting. I like that they leave you the option of both.

[@cosmindxd713]

It’s perfect 😂😂😂 I stall 60% of the time in uphill start so this would help me 100% 😂😂😂

[@odragz8118]

ngl, if you keep on stalling I'd learn clutch control. Unless you're on a little 50. Then gl. A 125-250 is very hard compared to bigger bikes, like a 650. But doable with enough experience. You'll get there.

[@tamaranewman2182]

Just been on a test ride ! Ordered it immediately after I got back to dealership

[@GeneralUnit]

Ride safe bro! I want this bike so bad

[@rigetskenderaj7014]

When you brake is necessary to down shift,or the e cluch will do it automatically?

[@nhokbbb]

The E-Clutch will do it automatically when you down or up shift

[@sommmathechamp5801]

love the video and bike. i like this idea too, my only concern is reliability. i’m an advocate for less moving parts as added complexity leads to more avenues for failure. how long will it last and if it fails what other functionality is affected. can i still operate the clutch fully manuall if it fails? i’m sure honda has taken great care of making sure this technology is reliable but i cant help but wonder.

[@deadrobot4157]

for downshift, do you need to toggle the gear lever with gear matching or it will automatically downshift once you slow down?

[@limebeyonce5421]

i like it no need more clutching so easy to handle and drive!

[@Deetroiter]

It almost reminds me of a Volkswagen DSG transmission. It’s an automatic that can be manually shifted at any time, when you come to a stop it automatically puts the vehicle back into 1st gear, etc

[@dazzleonetrick8878]

It's more like one of those AMT system

[@hondamotorsrider]

Then why even have the clutch lever there? What purpose is it serving?

[@BummySheep]

So far it looks like they are only available in Europe do you know if they have an official world wide release date? Also wondering how crash durable they are. If you drop your bike on the right side next to the curb and it just so happen to the perfect position to hit the e-clutch box would it be a $2000 repair / replace?

[@Gamebreaker08]

They're released for all markets except North America. I think Honda is skipping us for this year and we'll probably see this bike in the states in 2025. I believe they've done that with other bikes in the past.

[@KrypteiaXi]

Do you get a click sound coming from the front when you hit a road cavity?

[@sfndemo6373]

so you can ditch the clutch lever?

[@henrik6727]

What happens when you put it into second gear and give it some gas? Will it only rev up the engine or will it smoothly release the clutch?

[@bam-ke4px]

It will be like you start in second gear with the normal clutch. But with E-clutch you will damage it and even the gearbox. Starting in non-1st gear is not recommend for any bike with any system.

[@angradisasters]

0:20 hey dude,where that smoke come from?

[@ananthangovindasamy9047]

He was smoking

[@krsboy2735]

What happens if you try to start driving in second gear?

[@QualityMuffin]

It just works

[@nesto9889]

why have clutch at all?

Hey! And if want to rev with the e clutch on what you have to do ?

[@abdullahbinshahid3199]

The 650 doesn't have throttle by wire, so during downshifts you need to blip the throttle by yourself. During revving while stationary or going along I guess you need to hold down the clutch

[@9Ksh7]

That was trippy 😂

[@Jstzxvii]

So it’s like a sequential gearbox with the E-clutch. Is there a way to turn it off?

[@jackgibson2697]

Yes you can turn it off, also you can just use the clutch normally without issue, it always lets you override it. Ultimately though if you are going to just turn it off you don't buy it as it's a waste of money.

[@nublet2744]

How about dumping clutch for wheelies? will it still work as a normal clutch if i wanna pop a wheelie?

[@danielmoscu8179]

yes, pulling the clutch lever deactivates the eclutch momentarily

[@QualityMuffin]

Yes!

[@michaelspanish9738]

Chav 😂

[@Kurtusss]

Hi have you checked the e-clutch mode? I think it says hard normal soft or something like that. Im wondering what’s that for? like if it’s on high rpm and the mode was set to “soft” it will somehow rev match? while if it’s “hard” it’s just gonna engine break like a normal downshift. Anw cool bike I’m buying this in june.

[@jididelacruz4472]

Hard or soft is actually for the gear pedal, yup! You can adjust your gear pedal whether you like to stomp it hard or stomp it soft.

[@jididelacruz4472]

Oh shi this comment was 4mnths ago, you probably figured it out by now 😂

[@WuShHD]

sorry im a biker noob but what was that puff of smoke before he set off at the start is that normal ? coming from the front ?

[@Oekedoelekens]

That´s water evaporating from the engine/radiator. The bike was probably parked outside

[@lousarmiento4437]

i wonder why not just install the dct transmission

[@74OBOY]

Anyone else hear about the ‘24 CBR650R coming to the US in September?

[@drozdforce8853]

i need this so bad, iam gonna buy this as my first bike, so good

[@RobotTorzo]

You can buy it as your first bike, just don't be too throttle happy and learn on an empty car park first.

[@drozdforce8853]

@@RobotTorzo iam gonna be learning on the driving license course, they have yamaha MT 07 naked, iam driving scooter 125 until then

cool

So then what will left liver gonna do now ..

[@hoihoihoi1951]

why dont they add an actuator for the shift lever and have a full automatic gearbox

[@JericoOsorio-b6l]

because some people wanted like whant the clucth they driving or this is new technology that help begginer rider that who dont know how to use clutch

[@nhokbbb]

They had DCT with automatic gearbox

[@Zurl6321]

Why does it come with a clutch then

[@danielmoscu8179]

when you pull the clutch lever the bike overrides the eClutch system, and functions like a normal bike. Maybe you want to do a wheelie or something

[@emiltra0]

e clutch is prolly a mod

[@domingojovetjr.q.4206]

It's a win-win whether you want to use the clutch lever then use it, It's give you choices. And improving something is not new that's how world works.

[@vika0194]

For people who can’t decide. Or when you sell it you can find more buyers.

[@Hamad-re9vr]

So i can drive this all day without a single touch for the clutch?

[@QualityMuffin]

Yup!

[@deadsmile2011]

woooooaahh

[@JericoOsorio-b6l]

its look like automatic clutch no need clutch anymore like what im using in honda wave 125 no clutch

[@borky1987]

I also use my dirtbike without touching ever the clutch (just when I stop/start)

Nope, you can disable the e-clutch if you miss using the lever like a normal bike 😂 e-clutch is optional which is great for any type of riders.
