The highly anticipated 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp has officially made its debut in India, reigniting the spirit of adventure touring that its iconic predecessor embodied. Priced at an aggressive ₹10,99,990 (ex-showroom Gurugram), this mid-weight ADV is set to conquer Indian roads and trails. Bookings are now open, with deliveries expected to commence in July 2025 through Honda’s BigWing dealerships.
The Transalp name carries a rich legacy, synonymous with rugged reliability and versatile performance. The new XL750 Transalp aims to uphold that reputation, bringing a modern twist to Honda’s formidable adventure motorcycle lineup.
Feature-Packed for the Long Haul and Beyond
Honda has meticulously equipped the 2025 XL750 Transalp with a suite of features that cater to both on-road comfort and demanding off-road capability:
* Refined Design: The new Transalp boasts updated styling, including a sleek twin LED projector headlamp setup and a redesigned windscreen, enhancing both its visual appeal and wind protection for those extended journeys. It will be available in two striking colors: Ross White and Graphite Black.
* Advanced Electronics: At the core of its rider aids is a sophisticated Throttle-By-Wire (TBW) system. This enables five distinct riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a customizable User mode. Riders can precisely adjust engine power, engine braking, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with ABS, adapting seamlessly to diverse riding conditions.

* Intuitive Connectivity: A vibrant 5.0-inch full-color TFT display, featuring optical bonding for superior visibility in bright sunlight, offers comprehensive information. This is complemented by Honda RoadSync app connectivity, providing access to call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and music/voice commands via a convenient backlit four-way switch on the handlebar.
* Enhanced Safety: The Transalp prioritizes safety with an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) that flashes hazard lights during sudden braking, alongside automatic turn signal cancellation.
* Robust Suspension & Wheels: Designed for multi-terrain versatility, the XL750 Transalp rolls on a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup. Suspension duties are expertly handled by Showa 43mm SFF-CA™ upside-down (USD) front forks and a Pro-Link rear monoshock, both specifically tuned in the 2025 version for enhanced off-road performance.
* Confident Braking: Stopping power is assured with dual 310mm front discs featuring two-piston calipers and a 256mm rear disc with a single-piston unit, all paired with dual-channel ABS.
Performance: Powerful and Poised
Underneath its purposeful exterior, the 2025 XL750 Transalp houses a potent 755cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank and uni-cam. This engine, shared with the CB750 Hornet, has been meticulously tuned for the Transalp to deliver superior low-end grunt and mid-range drive.
* Engine Output: It generates a peak power of 67.5 kW (approximately 90.5 bhp) at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 75 Nm at 7,250 rpm.
* Smooth Transmission: A precise 6-speed gearbox with an assist-slipper clutch ensures effortless gear changes and prevents wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
* Agile Dynamics: Despite its adventure-ready build, the Transalp boasts a manageable kerb weight of 208 kg, contributing to its light, nimble, and confidence-inspiring handling. The carefully sculpted aerodynamics of the fairing and windscreen work to increase stability and reduce wind noise and buffeting at speed.
* Efficient Cruising: With a 16.9-liter fuel tank, the Transalp offers a claimed mileage of 23 kmpl, providing ample range for extended tours.
The 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp is more than just a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to explore. It’s a testament to Honda’s commitment to delivering versatile machines that empower riders to venture beyond the beaten path. With its blend of refined power, advanced features, and rugged capability, the Transalp is poised to become a formidable contender in India’s booming adventure touring segment.
