CBR500R E-Clutch 2026

What HRC learns at the top feeds straight back. And the CBR500R is where it starts – Fireblade style, aerodynamic winglets, and a strong twin-cylinder engine with ECU tuned for acceleration. E-Clutch delivers smooth, clutch-free shifting for added performance. The chassis features Showa USD forks and twin radial-mount calipers. A TFT display with full connectivity and HSTC grip control brings tech into the mix. City, back road or racetrack – this one’s built for fun.

Next level riding, now with E-Clutch

Unique to Honda, E-Clutch takes riding to the next level. Choose manual clutch control of the six-speed gearbox, or activate E-Clutch via the TFT screen and ignore the lever. That’s it. From pulling away to shifting and stopping, just use the gear lever – E-Clutch handles the rest, smoothly and instantly, like a pro. You can’t stall. Traffic’s easier. And if you want to use the clutch? Go right ahead.

A CBR is always something special

CBR. Three very special letters with a momentous history. Drawing heavily on the Fireblade for its design – with new paint and graphics straight out of pit lane – the CBR500R wears the same aerodynamic winglets for stability on corner entry and razor-sharp high-speed agility. From the aggressively designed headlights, which throw out a broad, penetrating beam for safer cornering at night, and sculpted-for-speed fairing right back to the tightly wrapped seat unit, this is a sporting benchmark.
