Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has officially introduced the 2025 XL750 Transalp in the country. Positioned as a versatile mid-weight adventure tourer, the new XL750 aims to bridge the gap between urban commuting and serious off-road escapades. The bike is priced at INR 10,99,990 (ex-showroom, Gurugram), and bookings are now open across all Honda BigWing dealerships, with deliveries starting in July 2025.
Engine and performance
At the heart of the Transalp is a 755cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. It produces 67.5 kW (roughly 90.5 hp) at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 rpm. Mated to a 6-speed gearbox, this motor features a slipper clutch and is supported by a Throttle-By-Wire system that offers five riding modes – Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a customizable User mode. Riders can fine-tune engine power, engine braking, and torque control via these settings.
Suspension, brakes and hardware
Built for the beaten path, the XL750 rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels. Showa 43mm USD forks handle front suspension duties, paired with a Pro-Link monoshock at the rear. Both ends get enhanced damping for better off-road control. Stopping power comes from dual 310mm wave discs at the front and a 256mm rear disc, equipped with dual-channel ABS.
Design and features
Design-wise, the 2025 Transalp draws cues from its bigger sibling, the Africa Twin. It features a unified dual LED projector headlight setup and an aerodynamic visor. The bodywork strikes a clean balance between rugged and sleek. Available in Ross White and Graphite Black, the bike also packs a 5-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity. Riders can access calls, navigation, and media via a backlit four-way toggle switch. Additional features include emergency stop signals and auto-cancelling indicators.
Competition check
The XL750 Transalp finds itself in the ring with the likes of the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, KTM 790 Adventure, and the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport. While the KTM and Triumph may offer slightly more aggressive dynamics, the Honda counters with comfort, smoothness, and a feature-rich setup at a relatively accessible price point.
