Styling and Equipment:
In the town or around the world, Honda’s all-new XL750 Transalp carries forward the adventure from the iconic original Transalp of the 1980s. Its design exudes an unmistakable feeling of adventure touring in a package that works superbly on the road. With a dignified styling and tough angular design, it has been designed to be a perfect all-rounder that is accepted by ADV enthusiasts across the globe.
The XL750 Transalp is designed with a sense of unity. Its compact headlight, integrated windscreen and large tank shrouds balance a fearless expression and aerodynamic performance. The tough rear design is appropriate for the adventure style with an aluminum rear carrier and LED lighting system.
Honda’s latest adventure touring bike is equipped with a 5.0-inch TFT panel that intuitively shows a wealth of information, including a speedometer, tachometer, gear-position indicator, fuel gauge & consumption, riding modes, engine parameters and more. This display is customisable as per the rider’s preference and the management can be done via the screen or the switchgear on the left handlebar.
Incorporated into this ADV is the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system (HSVCs), which links the rider to their smartphone while on the move and allows voice management of calls, messages, music & navigation. It also gets an emergency stop signal feature that communicates sudden braking to the vehicles behind by flashing hazard lamps and there’s automatic turn signal cancelling function as well.
Engine and Performance:
The XL750 Transalp’s all-round ability is derived from the company’s new 755cc liquid-cooled270º crank in-line two-cylinder engine. It packs a great deal of Honda’s Japanese engineering prowess into a small space and provides substantial top end punch with mountains of torque in the low to mid rpm range. This motor churns 67.5kWpower & peak torque of75Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
For razor-sharp pick-up and throttle response, XL750 Transalp’s patented Vortex flow ducts create a more uniform distribution from side scoops into the airbox, which then feeds downdraft intakes and 46mm diameter throttle bodies. The cylinders use a Ni-SiC (Nickel-Silicon Carbide) coating, as used on the CRF450R and CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, to increase the engine’s efficiency.
Electronic aids running via Throttle-By-Wire (TBW) system allow the rider to choose between 5 riding modes to select their preferred combination of Engine Power, Engine Braking and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with ABS & assist slipper clutch. The different riding modes include Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel and User, which can be adjusted according to one's own preferences.
