REVIEW:

The dual clutch transmission configuration employs independent clutches for the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, 5th) and the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th, 6th), respectively. The two clutches operate alternately to effect gear changes. For example, when changing from 1st to 2nd gear, the computer detects the up-shift and engages 2nd gear, then releases the 1st-gear clutch while engaging the 2nd gear clutch to achieve a seamless gear change. It’s a fast, smooth and efficient transition that delivers extremely quick shifts. How it works:
The dual clutch transmission features two operating modes (AT and MT) to suit the style of riding the rider chooses by selecting a switch located on the right handlebar: In AT mode, all gear shifts are performed automatically, controlled by a microcomputer with an intelligent electronic shift function that constantly evaluates rider and motorcycle behaviour and recognises when to change gear. The rider chooses with the right thumb, either ‘D’ for maximum fuel efficiency, or ‘S’, for maximum performance. The clutch and gear shifts are then electronically controlled by the computer giving the rider the freedom to concentrate on enjoying the road ahead.
