Honda rolls out CB750 Hornet with E-Clutch

MANILA: Honda opens up 2026 with the global introduction of the all-new CB750 Hornet E-Clutch. The light-weight, sport naked ride joins the Japanese marque’s lineup of E-clutch models, which includes the CB650R and the CBR650R. 

“Honda’s E-Clutch system represents a major step forward in motorcycle technology, offering riders the freedom to enjoy seamless shifting without sacrificing engagement or performance,” American Honda Manager of Public Relations Colin Miller said. 

“Expanding this technology to the CB750 Hornet for 2026 - and offering an extensive lineup of fun, practical, value-conscious on-road models - reflects our ongoing goal of making the joy of motorcycling more approachable, intuitive, and enjoyable for riders of all experience levels,” Miller added. 

To note, both the CB650R and CBR650R are now sold in the Philippines with starting prices set at P654,000 and P594,000, respectively. On that note, Honda Philippines Incorporated has yet to announce if it will bring in the CB750 Hornet E-Clutch to the local market. Regardless, let us check out what it is offering to potential adopters by taking a deep dive into the US-spec version.

Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch: specs, features

Propelling the Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch is the same 755-cubic-centimeter liquid-cooled, unicam parallel-twin engine found on the standard version. At maximum, it can churn out 90.5 horsepower and 75 Newton-meters of torque. 

As mentioned, the model gets Honda’s E-Clutch together with a seven-speed manual gearbox. For the unaware, the Honda E-Clutch automates a large portion of how a rider switches gears. Specifically, it allows one to shift, start, and stop using only the throttle and foot pedal, while retaining the option to shift gears manually. And yes, the model still retains a hand-operated clutch lever, which can be used at any time. 

For ride quality and handling, the Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch uses a 41-millimeter (mm) front inverted Showa fork, as well as a Pro-Link, single-shock rear suspension system. Stopping power is provided by dual 269-mm front discs, a 240-mm single rear disc, and an anti-lock braking system. Its tires, meanwhile, consist of radials sized at 120/70-17 for the front and 160/60-17 for the rear.

Furthermore, the Honda CB750 E-Clutch comes standard with a five-inch TFT display, Honda RoadSync, and a 15-liter fuel tank. It likewise has a curb weight of 191 kilograms, and a seat height of 795 millimeters (mm).

Honda has not released the official dimensions for the new E-Clutch model, but for reference, here are the measurements of the standard global-spec Honda CB750 Hornet:

Wheelbase (in mm)	1,420
Length (in mm)	2,090
Width (in mm)	780
Height (in mm)	1,085
