The iconic Honda Transalp is back, reimagined for the modern explorer with the launch of the 2025 XL750 Transalp. Blending rugged capability with refined comfort and cutting-edge technology, the latest iteration of this legendary adventure bike is poised to conquer both the wilderness and the urban jungle.
At its core lies Honda’s robust 755cc parallel-twin engine, engineered to deliver 91 horsepower and a smooth, responsive throttle feel. Drawing inspiration from Honda's racing pedigree, the engine combines power with efficiency, making the Transalp equally adept at long-distance touring and spirited off-road excursions. With Honda’s Throttle-By-Wire system, the XL750 offers four pre-set ride modes—Rain, Standard, Sport, and Gravel—along with a customizable User mode, allowing riders to tailor performance to any terrain or weather.
The 2025 Transalp boasts a chassis designed for versatility. A lightweight steel frame and a Showa long-travel suspension system provide the agility and durability needed to handle rocky trails and winding roads alike. Its 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel are paired with dual-purpose tires, striking the perfect balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort.
Ergonomics have been meticulously crafted to support hours of riding. The XL750 features a contoured seat, a tall windscreen, and an upright handlebar position, offering both comfort and control for riders of all sizes. With a generous 17.5-liter fuel tank, the bike is capable of long-range exploration without frequent refueling stops.
For the tech-savvy adventurer, the 2025 Transalp is equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT display. This intuitive interface provides real-time access to ride data, turn-by-turn navigation, and smartphone connectivity for calls, messages, and music. Safety remains paramount, with dual-channel ABS and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) ensuring stability across diverse terrains.
Aesthetically, the 2025 Transalp merges form with function. Its aggressive, adventure-ready stance is complemented by sleek bodywork, available in striking colors like Matte Iridium Gray Metallic and Glint Wave Blue Metallic. LED lighting enhances visibility, while integrated mounting points for optional accessories like panniers and crash bars underscore its touring potential.
Honda enthusiasts and adventure riders alike are eagerly anticipating the XL750 Transalp's arrival in showrooms in early 2025. Priced competitively at an estimated €11,500, the Transalp represents Honda’s commitment to delivering top-tier performance and innovation at an accessible price point.
