Honda CBR500R E-Clutch 2026

Honda CBR500R E-Clutch 2026

On the CBR500R, the E-Clutch goes from being a comfort feature to a genuine sports feature. Fast and precise gear changes take the strain off the rider when navigating twisties, allowing them to focus more on braking points, line choice and corner entry. This makes the E-Clutch particularly compelling for a road sports bike.

fast and precise gear changes

comfortable upshifting and downshifting without using the clutch lever

greater focus on the racing line and corner entry

no stalling during slow manoeuvres

the manual clutch remains available at all times

around 3 kg extra weight

a surcharge of 500 euros

So anyone who isn’t looking for a horsepower monster but prefers easy handling and good feedback is likely to get a lot of enjoyment out of the new R7. With its very solid build, attractive colour options, smooth-running engine and comprehensive electronics, this little supersport bike is sure to win over plenty of fans. And the very reasonable entry-level price of €11,499 will certainly help.
