Honda continues to incorporate technological advances on their bikes. This year the new Combined ABS, included for the first time in sportbikes, like the 2009 CBR 600R and 2009 CBR 1000 RR, is one of the new features that differentiates Honda sportbikes from the other manufacturers.
Now Honda has announced another advancement, called DSG for “Direct Shift Gearbox”. Utilized for years in Formula 1 caras, and now in a few high end sportcars. It´s a gearbox with two clutches and electronically assisted, in which the gearbox is divided in two, so there is no ´dip´ and aceleration is continuos while shifting. It´s more complicated than a normal gearbox, and all this mechanism will be assisted by servo motors, but in some cases, Honda´s way is later followed by others.
Probably the first stret bike with this DSG gearbox, the 2010 Concept V4.
