Honda's Automatic DCT Transmission

Enjoy the Ride

Honda’s revolutionary automatic DCT transmission will transform your riding experience. It eliminates clutch levers, stalling, and the need for you to shift, while also giving you complete control to select gears if you want to. And in certain conditions, it offers better power delivery than any conventional manual transmission can. Freedom of choice, freedom from shifting: DCT is the transmission of the future, available today. And only from Honda.

SEE WHAT DCT IS ALL ABOUT

Our Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission eliminates the clutch and shift levers. Shifting by itself, it makes riding simpler and rewards you with a smooth power delivery. Paddle shifters and selectable ride modes give you as much control as you’d like.

HOW DCT WORKS

On the inside, the automatic DCT looks similar to a manual transmission with rugged steel gears. But this transmission has a brain. In automatic mode, it shifts up and down by itself. More importantly, it shifts smoothly for a seamless, uninterrupted power flow with no fear of stalling.

WHAT IS DCT?

Honda's Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) is a breakthrough feature that makes riding easier and more fun.

ENJOY THE FREEDOM

DCT enhances the riding experience by letting you focus on the most rewarding parts of your ride.

NO STALLING

Stoplights, stop signs, parking-lot maneuvering or heavy traffic? No worries when you have DCT.

PADDLE SHIFTING

Choose Manual Mode, and you can override the automatic shifting on the fly with a pair of handlebar-mounted fingertip shifters.

European Model Shown

BETTER POWER DELIVERY

Because DCT delivers uninterrupted power and seamless shifts, you get a smoother ride and a great connection with the road.

PROVEN Honda DURABILITY

Because our DCT is built with steel gears inside, there are no drive belts to slip, break, or burn up, and there’s no torque converter. They’re as tough and efficient as any manual gearbox.

SELECTABLE RIDE MODES

Programmed Ride Modes like Drive, Sport and Manual allow you to select the kind of ride your DCT delivers. Many models even feature a mode you can customize yourself.

LOW-SPEED MANEUVERING

DCT’s seamless power delivery is a big benefit on steep hills or when you’re riding in a low-speed situation.

STEEP HILLS

Eliminate the drama that comes with stopping and restarting on a steep incline. DCT lets you twist and go.

AVOID THE CLUNK

Ever knock helmets with your passenger when shifting? That won’t happen with a DCT.

REAL-WORLD CONVENIENCE

No clutch means no hunting for neutral, and a left hand that can use a garage-door opener or pay at a toll booth.

WELCOME TO DCT

Honda's Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) is a breakthrough feature that makes riding easier and more fun.

ENJOY THE FREEDOM

Our DCT enhances the riding experience by letting you focus on the most rewarding parts of your ride, making each mile even better.

PADDLE SHIFTING

Choose Manual Mode, and you can override the automatic shifting on the fly with a pair of handlebar-mounted fingertip shifters.

BETTER POWER DELIVERY

Seamless power delivery and no power interruptions mean you avoid momentary traction losses between shifts.

PROVEN Honda DURABILITY

Because our DCT is built with steel gears inside, there are no drive belts to slip, break, or burn up, and there’s no torque converter either. They’re as tough and efficient as any manual gearbox.

SELECTABLE RIDE MODES

Programmed Ride Modes like Drive, Sport and Manual allow you to adjust the Africa Twin’s ride character. There’s also a special G-Switch for off-road riding, that helps you slide the rear tire under throttle input, to help steer with the rear.

TRUE ENGINE COMPRESSION BRAKING

Engine compression braking is key to bike control, especially when entering turns or on technical downhills off-road. Since DCT has manual-type gearbox internals, you get genuine compression braking—and control.

REAL-WORLD CONVENIENCE

DCT means no hunting for neutral or reaching for a shifter when you’re standing on the pegs. Plus, your left hand is free to activate a garage-door opener, find a parking key card or pay at a toll booth.

RACE-PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

Supercars and Formula 1 use paddle-shift transmissions because they offer the fastest, most efficient shifting and deliver consistent power to the ground.

LOW-SPEED MANEUVERING

DCT’s seamless power delivery is a big benefit on steep hills or in low-speed situations.

STEEP HILLS

Eliminate the drama that comes with stopping and restarting on a steep incline. DCT lets you twist and go.
