2025 Honda XL750 Transalp: Honda has a prestigious name in the world of adventure touring motorcycles – Transalp. Known for its versatility and reliable performance, this bike is now coming in a new avatar – 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp . This new generation Transalp is ready to give a new experience to adventure enthusiasts with modern technology, better comfort and powerful engine.
Transalp 2025: what’s new?
The 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp features several significant updates that make it even better than the previous generation:
- New Front Design: The bike’s front end has been redesigned, now featuring dual LED headlights reminiscent of Honda’s famous Africa Twin. This new lighting setup not only gives the bike a modern look but also provides better visibility at night.
- Improved Windscreen: The windscreen has also been updated. While retaining its basic shape, it is now made of an eco-friendly bio-engineered plastic called Durabio that is scratch resistant and more durable. An intake duct has also been added in the middle of the windscreen, which helps direct the wind away from the rider, reducing fatigue on long-distance rides.
- Improved suspension: The 2025 Transalp features front and rear suspension changes that improve both riding comfort and handling. The ride will now be even smoother on bad roads and off-road. The front gets Showa SFF-CA USD forks (with less compression and rebound damping) and the rear gets a Pro-Link monoshock (with more compression and rebound damping).
- Engine improvements: The bike is powered by the same 755cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that generates 91 PS of power and 75 Nm of torque. However, some changes have been made to the fuel injection settings to improve throttle response, making riding even smoother and refined at low-to-mid RPMs.
- New colour option: In Japan, the 2025 XL750 Transalp will be available with a new Pearl Deep Mud Grey colour option. The previous Ross White and Graphite Black colour options will also continue.
- Light Weight: Despite the many changes, the new Transalp weighs 210 kg, just 2 kg more than the outgoing model.
- TFT Display: The bike features a 5-inch full-color TFT display that shows riding modes, speed, fuel level and other important information. It also supports smartphone connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app, which allows controlling calls, messages and navigation.
