What's the story
Honda has launched the NX500 E-Clutch in India, a mid-size adventure motorcycle with an automated clutch technology. Priced at ₹7.43 lakh (ex-showroom), the bike is now available for booking at Honda BigWing dealerships across the country. The new model retains the 471cc engine of its predecessor, but adds advanced connectivity and safety features to enhance rider comfort on urban roads and highways alike.
Tech innovation
Standout feature is Honda's E-Clutch technology
The NX500 E-Clutch's standout feature is Honda's E-Clutch technology, which automatically manages clutch engagement when starting, shifting gears, or stopping. This makes it easier to ride in stop-and-go city traffic while still allowing manual override if needed. The system is designed to reduce rider fatigue without compromising the engaging experience of riding a traditional motorcycle.
