Honda XL750 Transalp: Engine Details

The Honda XL750 Transalp is powered by a 755cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft, which puts out 90bhp of peak power at 9,500rpm and 75Nm of maximum torque at 7,250rpm and is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. To improve efficiency, the cylinders are coated with Ni-SiC (Nickel-Silicon Carbide) – the same coating is used in other premium models like the CRF450R and CBR1000RR-R Fireblade.

The XL750 Transalp is equipped with several advanced technological features, including five distinct riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and User. These modes allow riders to customise their engine power and braking performance according to their preference. Additionally, the motorcycle features Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with ABS and an assist slipper clutch.

Honda XL750 Transalp: Feature Suite

The XL750 Transalp comes with a 5.0-inch TFT screen, which shows a speedometer, a tachometer, a gear-position indicator, fuel gauge and consumption information, riding modes, engine statistics, and more as standard. The panel is relatively easy to use. The rider can customise this display to suit their preferences and control it using either the screen or the switchgear located on the left handlebar.

The ADV also comes with the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system (HSVCs), which, when connected to the smartphone, allows riders to manage calls, messages, music, and navigation through voice commands. It additionally includes an automated turn signal cancelling function and an emergency stop signal feature, which flashes hazard lamps to alert oncoming traffic to rapid braking.

Honda XL750 Transalp: Styling Cues

With its aggressive look, the adventure tourer exudes an authentic off-roading flair. A closer inspection reveals its similarity with the very first Transalp, which was introduced in the 1980s. The contemporary iteration, however, has its allure and is expected to receive a resounding reception. The Transalp 750 features a small headlamp and an integrated windscreen to provide the rider with adequate protection on uneven terrains. The bike's golden-coloured spoke wheels, measuring 21 inches up front and 18 inches at the back, are meant to offer riders a seamless riding experience, according to the bikemaker. The wheels are shod with block pattern tyres.
