At Servihonda, your official Honda dealer, we want to inform our customers about the possibilities offered by the revolutionary and exclusive Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system, which is incorporated into a good part of our motorcycle range, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of its introduction. To celebrate, we will be organizing dynamic test days on September 18, 19, 25, and 26 at our facilities in Málaga, Fuengirola, and Marbella.
Customers who wish to attend can request an appointment by calling 952363300 or by contacting us at ventas@servihonda.com.
It should be remembered that DCT is an automatic gearbox with electro-hydraulic activation of the clutch and gear selector that allows the driver to make gear changes in Manual mode using trigger-type switches on the left handlebar, or in Automatic mode according to the gear change programming based on constantly monitored parameters, including vehicle speed, engine rpm, and throttle opening angle. In either case, there is no need for a clutch lever or a gear lever.
During a gear change, when one clutch disengages, the other clutch simultaneously engages the selected gear to ensure a precise, ultra-fast change, without jerkiness and without loss of traction to the rear wheel.
In addition to the advantages it brings for sports driving, DCT also allows the driver to concentrate more on driving, on their path, on braking points, on curves, and on acceleration.
Other advantages include reduced driver fatigue, less stress in urban driving, impossibility of stalling the engine, and a great reduction in rocking during gear changes.
In total, more than 140,000 motorcycles with DCT have been sold in Europe, and in 2019, 45% of the Africa Twins, 52% of the NC750X, and 67% of the Gold Wings sold in Europe were in the DCT version.
