Check Offers Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the 2025 CB650R and CBR650R middleweight performance motorcycles in the country. The 2025 Honda CB650R and CBR650R come with the brand’s E-Clutch technology, which lets riders shift gears without having to use the clutch lever. The 2025 Honda CB650R is priced at ₹9.60 lakh, while the 2025 Honda CBR650R is priced at ₹10.40 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Bookings are now open at Honda Big Wing dealerships for both motorcycles.
What is an E-Clutch
Honda’s new E-Clutch system is a world-first and was first unveiled in November 2023. The system allows smooth shifting without the need for the rider to operate the clutch lever. The new E-Clutch is already available on the global versions and is finally making its way to the Indian market. The technology essentially allows riders to shift gears as well as start or stop the motorcycle without using the clutch lever by automatically controlling the clutch of the multi-gear manual transmission. Both bikes are also available with the 6-speed manual transmission.
