Honda has pulled the covers off the 2025 Transalp XL750, revealing a range of updates that make this adventure-tourer more refined and rider-friendly. The launch is set for May 29 in Japan, and from what we’ve seen, Honda is focusing on better comfort, functionality, and design for long-distance touring enthusiasts.
Whether you’re an avid tourer or just love a rugged-looking bike with performance to match, the new Transalp ticks a lot of boxes.
Design
The most noticeable change? The front end. Honda has given the Transalp XL750 a more aggressive face with dual projector headlamps. Not only do these new lights look sharper, but they also promise improved visibility for those night rides and off-road adventures.
Another interesting design tweak is the redesigned windscreen. Made from Durabio, a bio-engineered plastic that’s eco-friendly, the new screen has a central air duct that channels air away from the rider’s chest. This means less wind fatigue and a more comfortable ride, especially at higher speeds.
Suspension
Adventure bikes need to handle all kinds of roads — from smooth highways to rocky trails. That’s why Honda has retuned both the front and rear suspension on the 2025 Transalp. The revised suspension aims to improve comfort and stability across varying terrain.
The trade-off? A slight increase in weight. The kerb weight has gone up by 2kg, making the total now 210kg. It’s a small price to pay for smoother rides and better control.
Engine
Under the bodywork, the 2025 Transalp XL750 still carries the same 755cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. It pushes out a solid 90bhp and 75Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. These numbers haven’t changed, but Honda has fine-tuned the fuel injection system.
What does that mean for you? Better throttle response — especially in the low and mid rev ranges. So whether you’re navigating traffic or tackling a tricky trail, the engine feels more responsive and predictable.
Colours
Honda has added a fresh new colour to the mix for 2025: Pearl Deep Mud Gray. This joins the existing options of Ross White and Graphite Black. The new shade gives the bike a stealthy, modern vibe that will likely appeal to both city riders and off-road adventurers.
Here’s a quick look at all the colour options:
| Colour Option | Available in 2025 Model |
|---|---|
| Pearl Deep Mud Gray | Yes |
| Ross White | Yes |
| Graphite Black | Yes |
Pricing
The 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 is priced at 1.32 million yen in Japan, which roughly translates to Rs. 7.74 lakh. That’s about 55,000 yen (around Rs. 32,000) more than the previous model. Given the updates and enhancements, the price bump seems justified.
India Launch
As of now, Honda India hasn’t confirmed a launch date, but there’s strong speculation that the updated Transalp will make its way to Indian showrooms later this year. Once launched, it will continue to compete with mid-weight adventure bikes like the Triumph Tiger 900, BMW F 900 GS, and Suzuki V-Strom 800DE.
With all these updates, the 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 seems better suited for the long haul. Whether you’re cruising the highways or looking into mountain passes, this adventure bike promises a blend of comfort, reliability, and serious performance.
