What’s New in the Honda CBR650R E-Clutch Variant?
The most striking upgrade in this latest version is the E-Clutch system, which eliminates the need for manual clutch operation during stops and gear shifts. The technology uses servo motors to engage the clutch automatically when the bike is stationary, reducing rider fatigue during heavy traffic.
