The 2025 Transalp XL750, an upgraded version of Honda’s well-liked mid-weight adventure motorbike, has been formally introduced in Japan. The 2025 model builds on the success of its predecessor by introducing a number of improvements meant to boost rider connectivity, comfort, and performance.
Improved Aerodynamics and Design
A new twin LED projector headlight modeled after the Africa Twin is part of the 2025 Transalp XL750’s revamped front end. This update increases the bike’s visibility at night in addition to making it seem better. A central duct has been added to the reprofiled windscreen, which improves airflow around the rider’s body and helmet. Furthermore, the aerodynamics of the upper fairing have been improved to improve handling agility and guarantee a more stable ride both on and off-road.
Improved User Interface for Riders
The 2025 Transalp XL750’s new 5-inch TFT color display is one of its most notable features. Better vision in direct sunlight is provided by this high-resolution screen, which also offers adjustable readouts to accommodate different rider preferences. A lighted four-way toggle switch is part of the new switchgear, which makes menu navigating easier. The overall riding experience is improved with Bluetooth connectivity, which enables users to connect their smartphones for hands-free calls, music management, and turn-by-turn navigation using Honda’s RoadSync app.
Upgrades to the Suspension for Better Handling
To improve comfort and control, Honda made major suspension changes to the Transalp XL750. In order to improve on-road comfort and bump absorption, the front Showa 43mm SFF-CA upside-down fork now has softer compression and rebound damping. The rear monoshock, on the other hand, has been reinforced to provide better control when carrying extra weight and on difficult terrain. The goal of these modifications is to provide a balanced ride on a variety of terrains.
Performance and Powertrain
The 755cc parallel-twin engine that produces 92 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm is still present in the 2025 Transalp XL750. When combined with a 6-speed transmission and an assist-and-slipper clutch, this engine ensures seamless gear changes and lessens rider strain on lengthy trips. The bike’s tubed tires and 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels offer adaptability for both off-road and on-road excursions.
Electronic Aids and Riding Modes
The 2025 Transalp XL750 from Honda includes five riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a User mode that may be customized. These modes let users customize the bike’s performance to suit various riding situations by adjusting a number of factors, such as traction control, engine braking, and throttle response. Safety and stability are further improved with the addition of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with integrated wheelie control and cornering ABS.
