Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has today announced the addition of Honda E-Clutch technology to its mid-size adventure touring motorcycle Honda NX500 in the Indian market. This E-Clutch system automatically manages the clutch while starting, changing gears and stopping the bike with the help of electronic control.

Keeping in mind India’s congested city roads and long highway journeys, this technology will help reduce rider fatigue. The Honda E-Clutch system handles clutch operation automatically, allowing the rider to concentrate more on the road without losing the riding experience.
