Honda CB 650R Is Going To Be Priced At Rs 9.20 Lak In India
Honda has hinted at the release of an improved version of the CBR 650R on its Big Wing social media account. The Japanese auto manufacturer has teased its naked streetfighter sibling a few days after revealing the fully-faired sports bike.
Even though it is in the shadows, the bike’s silhouette makes it obvious that it is the CB 650R, even though the brief video doesn’t provide any exact details. Additionally, we anticipate the same upgrade for the CBR 650R. This indicates that the middleweight nude streetfighter is anticipated to adopt the Electronic Clutch, also known as the E-Clutch.

Readers should be aware that the CBR 650R and the CB 650R have the exact same powerplant and foundation. A 649cc, inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 94 horsepower and a maximum torque of 62.3 Nm powers both of these motorcycles. Through the use of a manual slip and assist clutch, this engine is connected to a 6-speed gearbox. It is anticipated that Honda’s E-Clutch technology will be included in the revised version.
Introduced in October 2023, Honda’s E-Clutch technology blends aspects of the company’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), rapid shifters, and conventional manual clutches. The E-Clutch system adds about 2 kg to the total weight, but the clutch and transmission components are the same as in regular models.

The E-Clutch system eliminates the need for the rider to manually operate the clutch lever, enabling clutchless gear changes during upshifts and downshifts as well as smooth takeoffs and stops. It helps keep the engine from stalling and turns on automatically as the engine begins. If riders choose, they can still manually engage the clutch, and the system will quickly return to control on its own.
Three different shift sensitivity settings—hard, medium, or soft—for both upshifts and downshifts are another way the system can be customized. The instrument panel may suggest a downshift if the motorcycle is in a gear that is too high for the pace. Real-time data, including as shift pedal input, engine speed, gear selection, and throttle position, controls the operation of the e-clutch. Clutch engagement is controlled by a dual-motor actuator located inside the engine case, and smooth operation is ensured by carefully regulating fuel flow and ignition timing.
