2025 Honda CBR650R, CB650R E-Clutch Launched in India; Prices Start at Rs 9.60 Lakh

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has introduced e-clutch variants of the CB650R and CBR650R in the Indian market. These models were first launched in January 2025 without this feature. The Honda CB650R e-clutch variant is priced from Rs 9.60 lakh (ex-showroom). The sportier CBR650R e-clutch variant starts at Rs 10.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, with the addition of the e-clutch, Honda brings a global innovation to Indian riders, making these middleweight bikes more appealing and easier to ride. The e-clutch system, introduced by Honda globally in 2023, removes the need for manual clutch use. It offers smooth gear shifts and reduces rider fatigue, especially in traffic or on long rides. This system enhances comfort while keeping the manual gearbox experience intact.
