With the X-ADV, Honda was very brave and took the plunge. The idea of an off-road scooter is a completely new one, but the idea has worked. The appearance of the X-ADV is powerful and gives you the feeling that it can go anywhere. The propulsion is also right. The DCT transmission works excellently with the two-cylinder and makes the Honda X-ADV an excellent all-round scooter.

perfectly functioning DCT transmission

high-quality chassis components for road and off-road
