Honda Launches the New 500 Series E-CLUTCH in Thailand, Redefining Big Bike Riding

Honda has officially raised the bar for big bikes in Thailand with the launch of the New Honda 500 Series E-CLUTCH, introducing a new era of riding under the concept “New Norm for All.” This latest innovation brings Honda’s advanced E-CLUTCH technology to the 500cc class, making big bikes easier, smoother, and more approachable than ever before.
Designed to eliminate the need for manual clutch operation, the E-CLUTCH system allows riders to start, accelerate, and shift gears seamlessly. The result is a more relaxed riding experience with reduced fatigue—perfect for daily commuting, city traffic, and long-distance touring alike. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, this technology adds confidence from the very first ride.
Two Models, Two Riding Styles
The New Honda 500 Series E-CLUTCH launches with two standout models, covering both sport and adventure segments:
New Honda CBR500R E-CLUTCH
New Honda NX500 E-CLUTCH
Each model has been specifically engineered to work in harmony with the E-CLUTCH system, delivering smooth control and natural responsiveness.

New Honda CBR500R E-CLUTCH: Sport Performance Made Easy

Built under the concept “Ignite the Race,” the CBR500R E-CLUTCH stays true to its sport bike DNA while enhancing everyday usability. Honda has fine-tuned the engine, redesigned underbody components, and sharpened the overall styling to better support the E-CLUTCH system.
The bike maintains its iconic Grand Prix Red, a signature color of the CBR lineage, and introduces a new Mat Gunpowder Black option. This black finish combines glossy and matte textures, highlighted by red accents, giving the bike a bold Sport City look that feels just as at home on urban roads as it does on spirited rides.
