Auto parts supplier BorgWarner announced it has secured a program to supply dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) for motorcycles in the Chinese market. The clutch-less transmission technology is expected to be fitted to new models from Chinese manufacturers.
Just looking at the spec sheet, the news that they've landed a dual-clutch program gets me excited. If Chinese manufacturers put a clutch-less transmission like this into new models, that's the kind of thing that gets my heart rate up.

Is DCT actually different from a regular automatic?
Learning to work a clutch used to be half the fun of riding a bike, man.
Going DCT probably jacks up both the sticker price and repair bills, scared of the running costs.
It just says 'expected to be fitted to new models,' not one specific model named.
I can already see Chinese makers slapping DCT on regardless of cost and just jacking up the price.
DCT on bikes means way easier riding, this'll sell for sure, wanna try one already.
Honda's DCT already has years of track record, seems late for BorgWarner to muscle in now.
