E-Clutch Technology Elevates Honda's Middleweight Twins
Honda is set to redefine the motorcycle riding experience in the United States with the introduction of its E-Clutch technology on the 2024 CB650R and 2024 CBR650R models. This innovative system eliminates the need for a traditional clutch lever, simplifying gear shifts and making riding more enjoyable for both novice and experienced riders.
The E-Clutch is a sophisticated system that monitors various factors such as throttle position, vehicle speed, and engine RPM to automatically engage and disengage the clutch. Riders can effortlessly shift gears up or down using the shift pedal, with adjustable force levels to suit individual preferences. While the E-Clutch offers a convenient and hassle-free riding experience, Honda has ensured that riders can still opt for manual clutch operation if desired.
In addition to the groundbreaking E-Clutch, the 2024 CB650R and CBR650R boast several enhancements. Both models feature a new 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, updated LED lighting, and refined styling. The CB650R embraces Honda's Neo Sports Café design philosophy, while the CBR650R exudes a sporty and dynamic character.
Powered by a responsive 649cc inline-four engine, both motorcycles deliver a thrilling riding experience. The suspension setup, consisting of a Showa SFF-BP fork at the front and a Showa shock at the rear, ensures excellent handling and comfort. The 2024 CB650R is priced at $9,399, while the CBR650R carries a price tag of $9,899. Both models will be available in dealerships starting from September.
The introduction of the E-Clutch on the CB650R and CBR650R is a testament to Honda's dedication to pushing the boundaries of motorcycle technology. By offering a more intuitive and enjoyable riding experience, Honda aims to attract a wider range of riders to the world of motorcycling.
