The Chinese brand, following on from its global success which has seen its sales grow exponentially in recent years, is working hard and offering a significant message to the entire motorcycle manufacturing sector. It seems that some of the Chinese brand’s future productions could feature an automatic transmission that looks very similar to the one Honda has introduced with its E-Clutch, but which actually works on completely opposite premises.
If Honda planned to automate the clutch actuation thanks to an electric servomotor, CFMOTO wants to automate the work on the gear lever, or rather the gearbox shaft. In short, the gearbox system would remain more or less traditional, with obvious advantages in terms of cost and simplicity, while the shifting action would be managed by an electronic actuator based on probable presets stored in the engine maps and the torque and power delivery strategy, or via a button available to the driver to increase or decrease the gear.
It seems plausible to think that the system could rely on a Rekluse-type clutch system, but we don’t have any details on that yet.
