Honda E-Clutch expands to XL750 Transalp and CB750 Hornet

Honda debuted a new generation E-Clutch system at EICMA 2025, expanding the technology to the XL750 Transalp and CB750 Hornet. The updated system integrates Throttle-by-Wire for adaptive behavior and includes an automatic blip function during downshifts. Originally introduced on the CB650R and CBR650R, E-Clutch uses electronic actuators for half-clutch control to enable smooth starts and gear changes, distinguishing it from traditional quickshifter systems that interrupt ignition or fuel.
