Engine & Drivetrain

• The Evolution of Shifting

Honda’s E-Clutch system makes riding smoother and more intuitive by removing the need to use the clutch lever when starting, stopping, or shifting gears. It delivers precise, instant shift control for effortless cornering and easy navigation through city traffic. Riders can still use the clutch manually whenever they choose. Combining elements of quick-shifters, traditional clutches, and Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission, the E-Clutch offers a refined experience that enhances performance and comfort for riders of all skill levels.

• Choose Your Shifting Mode

When the E-Clutch system is on, it automatically controls the clutch and only throttle operation is required when starting, only shift pedal operation is required for gear shifting, and clutch lever operation is not required when stopping. When riding, however, hand operation of the clutch lever can move the system into manual mode temporarily, which requires the same clutch lever operation as with a normal manual transmission. When the system is turned off via a handlebar switch and shown on the CBR650R’s new TFT instrument screen, it operates like a normal manual transmission.

• Numerous Benefits

Honda E-Clutch offers a real performance advantage particularly when riding on twisty roads. Gear changes using just the shift pedal allow you to concentrate fully on the next corner, and the one after that. You get smooth, instant shifting, with no momentary engine deceleration or shift shock. And in the city, not having to operate the clutch lever makes stopping and starting a breeze.

• Dynamic Performance

The CBR650R’s liquid-cooled 649 cc four-cylinder engine uses a compact internal architecture with cylinders canted forward 30 degrees for a lower centre of gravity and an impressive power-to-weight ratio.

• More Torque

More torque down low is always a good thing, so our engineers tweaked intake-valve timing and improved the air-intake ducts to give the CBR650R a boost in low-end torque and smoother power delivery.

• Quick Response

The PGM-FI fuel injection system operates with information from four separate throttle body sensors for crisp and accurate throttle response.

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) controls torque output by detecting differences in the slip ratio between front and rear wheels. When the rear tire loses traction on a slippery surface, HSTC is engineered to instantly kick-in and suppresses torque by controlling fuel injection to help inhibit rear tire slip. This system is user adjustable and can be turned off.
