Questions & Answers
What exactly is the Honda E-Clutch and how does it work? The E-Clutch is an ultra-compact system that uses two electric motors to manage the clutch for you. It allows you to shift gears with just your foot and come to a complete stop without stalling, but unlike an automatic, it still uses a traditional 6-speed gearbox and allows you to use the clutch lever manually at any time.

Can I turn the E-Clutch off if I want a traditional manual experience? Yes! You can choose to operate the clutch lever manually whenever you want, which temporarily overrides the system. Additionally, you can fully deactivate the E-Clutch via the 5-inch TFT display settings if you prefer to ride with a 100% traditional manual clutch feel.

Does the 2026 CBR650R E-Clutch have a quickshifter? The E-Clutch system actually functions as an advanced quickshifter. Because it manages the ignition, fuel injection, and clutch engagement simultaneously, it provides even smoother upshifts and downshifts than a standard quickshifter, especially at lower RPMs and during urban riding.
