Honda XL750 Transalp 2025 - New Look & Improved Chassis

A key update concerns the front section of the Honda XL750 Transalp. The new dual LED headlight, inspired by the larger Africa Twin, gives the bike a modern, distinctive appearance. The windshield is now made from biomass-based Durabio plastic and features a newly contoured surface that is not only environmentally friendly but also optimizes airflow around the helmet area. Honda has also revised the vehicle's airflow on the sides and below the tank, which is intended to improve handling both on the road and off-road.

In the chassis department, Honda has adjusted the factory damping setup for both the front and rear wheels. The Showa 43 mm SFF-CA upside-down fork now offers slightly softer compression and rebound damping, while the Showa shock absorber at the rear received a firmer setup. These changes are intended to improve responsiveness on uneven terrain and provide stable handling even when fully loaded or during off-road use. The ground clearance of 210 mm remains unchanged, and the XL750 Transalp continues to be easily maneuverable with a total weight of 210 kg when fully fueled.

As for the updates of the 2025 Honda Transalp 750. The core remains a liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with a displacement of 755 cc, delivering 92 horsepower and a maximum torque of 75 Nm. The riding modes include four options: Sport, Standard, Rain, and Gravel. An additional User mode allows for individual configuration of power delivery, engine braking, ABS, and the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which includes integrated wheelie control.

The front and rear wheels measure 21 inches and 18 inches, respectively, and are equipped with tube tires and stainless steel spokes. The XL750 Transalp comes standard with Metzeler Karoo Street or Dunlop Mixtour tires. For precise braking, it features a dual disc brake with 310 mm wave discs at the front and a 256 mm disc at the rear.

Honda offers the XL750 Transalp 2025 in three color variants: Ross White Tricolor, the new Graphite Black, and Pearl Deep Mud Gray. Additionally, extensive accessories are available, including an upgraded quickshifter, a taller windscreen, a comfort seat, and 100% waterproof side and luggage bags. For riders with an A2 license, the bike can be restricted to 48 HP. Prices are yet to be announced.
