BMW launches automatic clutch system to compete with Honda's DCT.

The automatic motorcycle revolution

Until the beginning of the last decade, the concept of traditional automatic motorcycles – not scooters – was unthinkable. Until Honda started launching models with the DCT transmission, a double clutch system in which the driver doesn't have to worry about the clutch or shifting, but still maintains the possibility of manually shifting up and down gears.

Honda's innovation

Honda was a pioneer in this market, providing motorcyclists with a new riding experience with its DCT-equipped models. With this system, the driver can enjoy a smoother and more efficient drive, in addition to not having to worry about the clutch, making riding easier and more accessible for beginners and the more experienced.

Benefits of automatic transmission

With the advancement of technology in the motorcycle industry, automatic transmissions are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to making driving easier, automatic transmissions offer faster and more precise gear changes, making driving safer and smoother.

Another benefit is the reduction of driver fatigue on long journeys, as it is not necessary to constantly operate the clutch. This provides a more comfortable and relaxed riding experience, allowing the rider to enjoy the road more.

Market acceptance

With the introduction of automatic transmissions on motorcycles, many motorcyclists have adopted this technology due to its numerous benefits. Practicality and ease of driving are factors that have won over even the most purists, who previously only advocated manual transmission.

Furthermore, brands are increasingly investing in models with automatic transmission, offering options for all tastes and riding styles. The diversity of choice has been a positive point for consumers, who can find an automatic motorcycle that meets their needs and preferences.

The future of automatic motorcycles

With the advancement of technology and the growing acceptance of automatic transmissions in the motorcycle market, it is possible that this type of transmission will become even more popular in the future. Brands will continue to invest in new models and technologies to offer an even more enhanced riding experience, meeting the demands and expectations of modern motorcyclists. The automatic motorcycle revolution is here to stay, providing a more comfortable, safe and exciting ride for all lovers of two wheels.
