Not heard of this before…….
Honda E-Clutch
- Thread starter leadfarmer

Surly it's just like a DCT with a gear change lever and and clutch if you want it. seems a bit better than the DCT option but why have both DCT and a E clutch, why not one or the other.

Maybe this is light enough to put on smaller bikes like the 750 hornet or CB500 where the DCT would add too much weight

Didn't think of that
I’m just guessing but the DCT box adds 10kg and I guess some volume too
I think all the big brands will be looking at E Clutch or similar transmissions if they go the way of Kawasaki eg hybrid motors. The complexity of feeding in the motor / engine lends itself to autos eg look at virtually all hybrid cars.
Just my humble opinion

The are different . DCT will shift much much faster , it’s literally seamless , and it can also run as an automatic which the E clutch can’t. As mentioned above the downside is the DCT adds more weight than the E clutch and whilst you can manually shift a DCT you have no option to manually manage the applied power with the clutch ( which you can on E clutch) , you can only use the throttle.

The French journalists seem to like it
Unfortunately it doesn’t blip like a quick shifter so not so good for sporty riding down changes as mentioned in Arsey’s video
Nice to see a 4 cylinder lump too
