Honda X-ADV 2018

Honda X-ADV 2018

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover motorbike. For the 2018 vintage, the off-road capability is underlined even more with the new G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT. However, the X-ADV's true playground is the country road, where it performs excellently and presents an ingenious mix of sportiness and a level of comfort that is otherwise only known from large tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.
