2025 Honda Transalp XL750: What’s new?
The new Honda Transalp XL750 retains its iconic silhouette while receiving a modern update with a refreshed front end that features a twin headlight setup. It also comes equipped with a newly designed windscreen made from Durabio, a sustainable bio-engineered plastic. The revised windscreen offers improved wind deflection, enhancing rider comfort by more effectively redirecting airflow. Additionally, the model is now offered in two new colour choices: Ross White and Graphite Black.
In terms of features, the Transalp XL750 gets a new 5.0-inch full colour TFT instrument panel that uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. This console comes with Honda RoadSync app connectivity that offers turn-by-turn navigation, music control and voice commands. The instrument panel can be controlled via a backlit, four-way toggle-switch on the left side of the handlebar.
2025 Honda Transalp XL750: What’s unchanged?
The Honda Transalp XL750 is powered by a 755cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that delivers 90 bhp and 75 Nm of peak torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox via a slip and assist clutch. Honda has fine-tuned the fuel-injection system to enhance throttle response, resulting in improved low- and mid-range performance.
Although the engine and its output remain unchanged, Honda claims to have fine-tuned the fuel-injection system to enhance throttle response, delivering improved power in the low and mid-range. Electronic riding aids include throttle-by-wire, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and five riding modes Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel and User which can be customised by the rider.
Coming to hardware, the XL750 Transalp rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels. Suspension duties are carried out by Showa 43mm SFF-C upside-down front forks and a Pro Link rear shock absorber. Honda says that both the compression and rebound damping of suspension have been increased in order to give it more control on uneven ground. Braking duties are carried out by dual front 310mm wave discs with hydraulic 2-piston calipers and a rear 256 mm single disc with 1-pot caliper with dual-channel ABS as standard.
