Honda Expands Electronic Clutch for Entry-Level Motorcycles, Making Riding Simpler and More Accessible, Especially for Beginners in Urban Use

Honda is expanding the use of its electronic clutch to more models. After debuting the technology in 2023 on the CBR650R and CB650R models sold in the United States, the Japanese brand now intends to include the system in its entry-level motorcycles as well. The goal is clear: to make riding easier, especially for beginners.

Technology Designed for Those Who Are Beginning

Honda’s electronic clutch eliminates the need to operate the clutch lever to shift gears.

This makes riding simpler, especially for those who are still getting used to manual motorcycles.

How the Electronic Clutch Works

Honda’s system operates with sensors and motors that automatically control what’s known as “partial clutch.”

This means that the rider can shift gears whenever they want, without having to deal with the clutch lever.

Even when stopping or braking, the electronic clutch requires no manual intervention.

One of the major advantages is that this technology can be adapted to practically any existing Honda engine. This facilitates implementation and accelerates the modernization process of the lineup.

Impact on Performance and Weight

The inclusion of the electronic clutch does not significantly change the motorcycle’s weight. In the case of the Rebel 250, the increase was only 2.9 kg.

According to reports, this does not affect the quality of riding, making the update even more interesting.

The engine used in the Rebel 250 is the SOHC 249 cc, a base that serves for several other models. In the United States, for example, this same engine appears in versions with 286 cc due to a different stroke in the cylinder. The list includes motorcycles like Rebel 300, CB300R, CRF300L, CRF300LS, and CRF300L Rally.

Affordable Price

Honda also acertou na estratégia de preço. No Japão, a diferença entre a Rebel 250 com e sem embreagem eletrônica é de cerca de US$ 325.

The value is not considered high and can be a good cost-benefit for those who want more practicality in their daily life.

This indicates that, should the technology reach the West, the final price for the consumer should remain affordable.

Ease of Urban Use

The CL250 and Rebel 250 are aimed at beginners. Both were designed with ergonomics and simple handling, ideal for urban use.

The electronic clutch especially helps in common situations such as stops at traffic lights or congestion.

In these situations, the system avoids the constant switch between clutch and throttle. In motion, it allows for quick gear shifts, both up and down.

The expectation is that this technology will be adopted in more models from the brand soon.

Ease of Urban Use

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

With a water crisis on the radar, Sabesp invests in reclaimed water for data centers and transforms sewage treatment into a solution that saves millions of liters and protects public supply.

The Federal District bets on innovation and sustainability by launching a hydrogen-powered bus on a new tourist route, promising to reduce emissions and transform the urban experience for residents and visitors.

Archaeologists have discovered a mysterious, narrow, and unusual underground tunnel in Saxony-Anhalt within a prehistoric enclosure, and the most striking detail is that it was intentionally sealed.

In the driest desert in the world, scientists and farmers are growing lettuce amid tons of sand using water taken from the air, in a project that transforms fog into crops and reveals a surprising way to make life flourish where almost nothing survives.

With a water crisis on the radar, Sabesp invests in reclaimed water for data centers and transforms sewage treatment into a solution that saves millions of liters and protects public supply.

Giant of the winds in Rio Grande do Norte: Serra do Tigre Wind Complex receives new investments and accelerates the expansion of clean energy generation to supply millions of Brazilian homes.

Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to the market and ensures that it will carry out the energy transition safely to maintain national sovereignty.

A study confirms that the natural gas sector will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil by 0.5% and accelerate the energy transition by 2026.

Petrobras implements a severe adjustment and confirms a 55% increase in the price of aviation kerosene with a proposal for installment payments for the companies.

The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.

Hyundai has unveiled the Boulder, a square SUV with a body-on-frame design, 37-inch mud tires, and carriage-style doors that seems to be made to take on the Ford Bronco and the Scout Traveller in the United States.

The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.

The car stored for 38 years: when opening the barn door, what appears is breathtaking and looks like a scene from a movie!
