Honda E-Clutch system

The industry-first E-Clutch system gives the rider a choice of automatic clutch operation by simply using the shift pedal, making motorcycling even more enjoyable and exciting. It combines the automaker’s dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with a quick shifter, offering seamless up- and downshifts without needing to engage the clutch lever, even when starting or stopping. 

“The CBR650R E-Clutch and CB650R E-Clutch earned three MMOTY titles for what they do on the road. These new colours are about how riders want to look doing it,” said Kunitomo Asano, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Boon Siew Honda Sdn. Bhd.

2026 Honda CBR650R E-Clutch and Honda CB650R E-Clutch: Key highlights 

Both models share the same chassis, engine, suspension & braking setup, with main differences lying in their design, aerodynamics, and riding posture. The CBR650R is a fully faired sportier bike, while the CB650R is a more comfortable naked model with upright ergonomics for daily commuting.

• The suspension setup comprises Showa Separate Function Front Fork-BigPiston at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. 

• Handling the braking duties are 310 mm diameter twin front discs and a 240 mm rear disc, complemented by a two-channel ABS.
• Other key features include a 5-inch full-colour TFT-LCD instrument console supporting Honda Roadsync connectivity, a USB charging port, traction control, an emergency stop signal, Honda ignition security system, a 15.4-litre fuel tank, and 17-inch wheels wrapped with 120/70 front and 180/55 rear tyres.
