Honda has always maintained its strong grip in the streetfighter segment, and one of its most popular bikes in the lineup, the CB750 Hornet, is once again under discussion. Launched at international level for the 2026 Model Year, the company has used technologies that take the Riding Experience to a new level. In particular, Honda’s new e-clutch system has forced many riders to say that it now offers the best combination of manual and automatic riding in a single bike. At the moment, this model is not available in India, but it is expected that Honda will launch it soon.
Engine and performance
The heart of the Honda CB750 Hornet is its 755cc Parallel-Twin engine, known for its agility, smoothness and power delivery. The engine delivers 90 bhp of power and 75 Nm of torque, providing great performance for both city roads and high-speed riding. This time, Honda has not only improved engine handling, but has also made riding more connected and controlled. Whether it is sudden overtaking or moving slowly in traffic, the engine seems responsive and balanced in every situation.
Honda E-Clutch Technology
The biggest feature of this bike is the e-clutch system, which makes it unique in its segment. This system makes the clutch operation almost completely automatic through the electronic control unit. You can change gears without pressing the clutch, and if you want, you can still stable the bike even while in gear, which is a major advantage especially in traffic.
The best thing is that Honda has given two modes to the rider’s liking. If you like automatic e-clutch, you can ride with it. But if you prefer to have complete control over the clutch and gear shifting in the old style, then this bike also gives that feature. This means that it is perfect for riders who want technology, as well as for those who like the classic riding experience.
Suspension and handling
Much effort has been made to make the new Honda CB750 Hornet not only fast but stable and comfortable. It has a Shova SFF-BP inverted fork at the front and a progressive link monoshock at the back. This suspension setup gives great grip and control on highways, cities and bad roads. The bike feels very strong at the turn and reduces shock even at high speeds. The braking is from a 240mm rear disc with 296mm dual front disc and dual-channel ABS. This braking system makes the hornet safe and reliable in all conditions.
Features and Technology
The 2026 Honda CB750 is also a leader in hornet technology. It has a 5-inch TFT digital display that is clear of view and gives user-friendly navigation. With Bluetooth connectivity, riders can easily access features such as calls, messages and turn-by-turn navigation. In addition, it has Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Emergency Stop Signal and four riding modes — Sport, Standard, Rain and User. Riders can choose the mode according to their need and weather, making the riding experience even safer and fun.
Design and color option
The Honda CB750 Hornet has always been known for its aggressive and powerful design, and the 2026 model gives it an even sharper and modern touch. This time, Honda has introduced new color combinations that give the bike a premium and attractive appeal. These include sheds such as graphite black, matte ballistic black metallic with red frame, iridium gray metallic with wolf silver, wolf silver with goldfinch yellow, and matte jeans blue metallic. All these colors further strengthen the Hornet’s streetfighter identity and make it immediately different from the crowd.
