EXPERIENCE THE FUTURE

When it comes to power transmission you can enjoy the best of both worlds. DCT is a shifting system that delivers manual drive with automatic convenience. So, you can experience every ride just the way you want it. Need the smoothest, most relaxed and fuel-efficient performance? Let DCT work for you in Automatic mode, with no loss in driving efficiency. Or, if you want to work DCT, select Manual mode and treat it just like a standard gearbox, shifting up or down when and where you please, in the rev-range you want.

TECHNOLOGY WORKING

Hidden away inside the engine, Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is an extremely clever system that uses two hydraulically-controlled clutches to always have the next gear ready, up or down. You get the benefits of a manual transmission – direct drive feel with better efficiency – plus the smooth, easy riding pleasure that an automatic provides. And, like all the very best technology, DCT is so simple to use; leave it do its thing and get on with your day. Or via the up/down trigger shifters on the left handlebar, instantly shift gears in either direction just as you would with a manual transmission, so you can fully explore the engine’s performance. It’s intuitive to use and auto-blips through rapid down changes.

FREEDOM

Ride without concerning yourself with the clutch lever and shift pedal, for smooth and seamless gear changes. The morning rush hour, an important meeting, or trips out with friends, have never been easier. Simply start the engine and open the throttle. Relax, and enjoy the ride.

CONTROL

Switch between Auto and Manual modes to suit any riding environment and style. It’s the bike’s second nature to shift gears seamlessly, so you have full control of your ride every time, whether you’re a new or expert rider.

RIDE WITHOUT LIMITS

Passion, the driving force behind Honda DCT

Hear what Honda bike owners have to say about Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission. Take full control of your bike and don’t worry about gear shifting. We invented the Dual Clutch Transmission DCT to give riders freedom of control, enabling an easy switch between auto and manual modes to suit any riding environment. DCT retains the direct acceleration feel of a manual transmission with the ease of use of an automatic. Simply start the engine, open the throttle, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Honda DCT: What’s your drive mode?

The Dual Clutch Transmission system has three different modes to cater for your needs. The MT mode gives you manual control; the automatic D mode is ideal for city and highway riding; and the automatic S mode offers three levels of sportier riding. 

Honda DCT: What’s great about it?

It’s an easy ride with Honda Dual Clutch Transmission. The power to shift gears automatically helps you to focus on the road, go for longer rides and not worry about anything.

Honda DCT: How’s the shifting?

DCT makes a smooth ride, with faster and more precise shifts than manual transmission. And if you want to intervene in D or S mode, you simply select the required gear using the up and down shift triggers on the left handlebar.

Honda DCT: What changed for you?

Make further trips and go on more adventures! If you don’t have to switch gears you can focus on everything else and just enjoy the ride. 

HOW DCT WORKS

Your views on riding will change as a result of DCT. You will have more chances to enjoy the surrounding scenery and feel the wind on your skin.

You'll enjoy communicating more easily with your passenger and those around you on the road.

You'll have the confidence to travel anywhere, anytime, as DCT delivers an enhanced riding experience.
