Honda E-Clutch


Feature



  • Electronic clutch control system.

  • Allows the rider to start, stop, and change gears without operating the clutch lever.

  • The clutch lever remains fitted and can still be used manually whenever desired.

  • Works with both upshifts and downshifts.


Benefits



  • Easier riding in heavy traffic because there is no need to constantly pull the clutch.

  • Reduces rider fatigue during commuting.

  • Makes low-speed manoeuvres simpler for newer riders.

  • Helps prevent stalling when pulling away or stopping.

  • Provides a more engaging experience than a conventional automatic transmission because the rider still selects gears using the foot shifter.

  • Can be switched to manual clutch operation at any time.


Why it matters on the CB500 Hornet


The CB500 Hornet has always been known as an accessible, beginner-friendly motorcycle. The addition of E-Clutch makes it even easier to ride while preserving the feel and control of a traditional manual gearbox. For commuters and A2 riders, it offers many of the convenience benefits of an automatic system without losing the involvement of changing gears yourself.
