Honda E-Clutch - Review

The new E-Clutch system from Honda. As of May 2024, only the 2024 models of the CBR650R and CB650R motorcycles are equipped with this new invention. So is it good? Today I got to try the new 2024 model Honda CB650R with the new system.

Your video nicely explains and demonstrates the use of the E Clutch.

Can the E-clutch model shift gears while using the throttle when lifting gears like a quick shifter?

[@thetubelesschannel]

It works very similar to a quick shifter, but you may also start from neutral, put in 1st and give throttle without use of the clutch. It works different from a quickshifter but feels the same when shifting gears. The shifts a very smooth.

As it’s designed by Honda it will work well. Next generation quick shifter.

It's really clever, but is it something I don't need and something else to go wrong? Can't make my mind up! Good review, Svenster. Ride safe 👍

Thanks.....yes not every new invention survive the market. We will see if this is something. 45% of those buying a new Honda with a DCT option...choose that, no gear-shifter and no clutch-lever at all. That is surprisingly many. And quick shifter has been very common. The E-Clutch is a kind of quick shifter but with the option also to start the bike from full stop, without using the clutch. Ride safe 🙂

It would be kinda dumb to not buy with Eclutch since it's a quickshifter in it at the same time. I mean it's not a big price jump from none Eclutch. The price for a quickshifter can go around 200-400 dollars so. Plus i thing people are Abit afraid of Eclutch because it's a new thing.. it will be more common and later people will like it for what it is. Don't need to have it on 24/7 but it's nice to have if u stop alot like in city with heavy traffic etc

Its just a computer controlled motor/s activating the clutch. If the motor/s fails im guessing it reverts to full manual operation. It still has a clutch cable.

Honda has a history of only releasing new technology when it is good and reliable. For example the DN-01: not a sales success but that tech is still working very reliably for the owners of this 2009my bike.

How well does this work to do a tight U-turn ?

[@thetubelesschannel]

No problem at all, I did when testride...

[@doughoffman9463]

You always have the option to use the manual clutch for certain situations and it then works just like the old fashion manual clutch.
