Honda Brings CB750 Hornet And Transalp E-Clutch To India

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has refreshed its premium motorcycle range with the launch of the E-Clutch-equipped CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp. The company has also brought back the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP to the Indian market and introduced a new paint scheme for the Gold Wing luxury tourer.

The Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch is priced at Rs 10.49 lakh, while the XL750 Transalp E-Clutch costs Rs 13.20 lakh (both ex-showroom, Gurugram). Meanwhile, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP returns at Rs 33.50 lakh, and the Gold Wing with its new colour option is available at Rs 44.30 lakh.

Honda E-Clutch Technology Now Available on More Big Bikes

A few weeks after launching the NX500 E-Clutch in India, Honda has expanded the technology to two more motorcycles. The E-Clutch system allows riders to start, stop, and shift gears without using the clutch lever.

Easier Riding Experience for Daily Use

The system automatically controls clutch engagement and disengagement, which helps riders make smoother gear shifts. In addition, it reduces rider fatigue, especially while riding through city traffic and crowded roads.

However, Honda has not removed the clutch lever. Riders can still operate it manually whenever they prefer. As a result, the system offers both convenience and traditional control.

The E-Clutch versions carry a premium over the standard models. The CB750 Hornet E-Clutch costs Rs 1.26 lakh more, while the XL750 Transalp E-Clutch is Rs 1.38 lakh more expensive than the regular versions.

Engine and Features Remain Unchanged

Apart from the addition of the E-Clutch technology, Honda has not made any mechanical or visual changes to either motorcycle.

The CB750 Hornet continues with its 755cc parallel-twin engine and aggressive streetfighter styling. Similarly, the XL750 Transalp retains its middleweight adventure touring setup, which focuses on both highway comfort and everyday usability.

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Returns to India

Honda has also relaunched its flagship superbike, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, in India. The motorcycle continues to feature sharp aerodynamic bodywork inspired by the brand’s MotoGP race machines.

Same High-Performance Package

For 2026, Honda offers the superbike in the familiar Grand Prix Red colour scheme with contrasting blue graphics. The motorcycle continues to draw power from a 1000cc inline four-cylinder engine that produces 217PS and 113Nm.

In addition, the Fireblade SP retains premium hardware such as electronically adjustable Ohlins Smart-EC 3.0 suspension, Brembo Stylema R front brake calipers, and a lightweight Akrapovic titanium exhaust system.

Gold Wing Receives a New Premium Colour

Honda has also updated the Gold Wing with a new Gun Metal Black Metallic paint scheme. The luxury touring motorcycle now costs Rs 44.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Gurugram), making it Rs 1.47 lakh more expensive than the earlier Bordeaux Red Metallic version.

Dark Finish Adds a Fresh Look

The new paint option gives the Gold Wing a darker and more premium appearance. In addition, it complements the motorcycle’s large bodywork and touring-focused design.

Mechanically, the motorcycle remains unchanged. It continues with its six-cylinder engine, advanced touring equipment, and long-distance comfort-focused package that has made the Gold Wing popular among touring enthusiasts.
