Let me tell you that BMWโs semi-automatic clutch system is one of the most special features of this bike. This significantly reduces clutch usage, ie slow-speed city traffic or off-road manoeuvres, reducing the mess of manual clutch play to rider. With this system, BMW has also provided Shift Assistant Pro, which leads to clutch-less gear shifting possible.
