On October 10, 2023, Honda Motor Company announced the introduction of E-Clutch, its new automatic clutch control system for motorcycles with existing multi-gear manual transmissions. The video visually demonstrates how the system works via an animated sequence that features closeups of what the rider’s hands and feet are doing while accelerating.
The idea, says Honda, is to make it easier for riders of all skill levels to safely and confidently operate their motorcycles. This electronically operated clutch makes it possible for riders to still shift as usual with the foot control, but not have to worry about pulling the clutch lever unless they want to.
