The use of duel clutch transmission (DCT) is something that is still quite rare to see especially in motorcycles.
There have been more used recently in high end automobiles.
But, Honda has introduced the first DCT that is to be used on motorcycles.
Honda's DCT is light, and compact which means that it can be used with existing engines with hardly any layout modification.
The first dual clutch bike is the Honda VFR, there are many advantages to this system.
By using a separate clutch when changing gears it means that the gears can be changed without interrupting power by applying the engines torque to the nest gear just as it is being disconnected from the previous one.
This means that there will be quicker and smoother gear changes, precise acceleration control, greater stability, smother and faster corners.
Another huge advantage, considering environmental conditions, is the fact that Honda's DCT is being billed as an alternative shifting technology with fuel economy benefits; effectively saving you money.
The smooth, seamless gear changes will enable greater stability down changing for corners under brakes, gear changing through the apex, and smoother exiting of corners.
All of this will allow you to get through a corner faster and smoother then ever before.
The Honda transmission does have other benefits due to the fact that it is electronically operated.
Due to this, you get the benefit of dual operation modes 'D' for maximum efficiency and 'S' for maximum performance.
Riders can choose with their right thumb which choice would be best for them.
The gears and clutch are then electronically controlled by the computer giving riders the freedom to concentrate on the road.
However, it's still perfect for those riders who still prefer a manual-shift transmission because it also has a MT mode.
Honda is confident that its new internally-developed transmission will be more embraced by the motorcycle community.
Honda is planning to introduce the DCT to more of its large-displacement motorcycles, especially the sports models.
The DCT will be incorporated into the new Honda bike ranges.
