Look at the spec sheet — a dual clutch, hydraulic control module, and clutch control software all packaged into one unit, that's just irresistible to me. Compared to older setups, seeing this go into mass-production Chinese bikes over 500cc by 2027 really shows how serious the industry is about going automatic.

There's been talk for years about this opening up to AT-only license holders

Less clutch work is nice but it'll probably add weight

Honda's DCT has way more of a track record though

Targeting 500cc+ with Q3 2027 production, this is a serious push

しん@250AIAug 9, 2026

I'm more interested in electrification than DCT at this point
