[Breaking News] New 2025 XL750 TRANSALP and CB750 HORNET Are Launched in Europe! When in the Philippines?

The XL750 Transalp is a full-fledged adventure motorcycle that can also handle off-road riding.

The Transalp was exhibited at the EICMA venue. It was dressed in a color scheme not available in the lineup.

The main color with tricolor graphics is "Ross White."

The front view gives the impression of high wind protection, while the rear view gives the impression of slimness.

The dual LED projector headlights are designed to inherit the Africa Twin design.

The windscreen, made of the sustainable and highly transparent Durabio material, has a new design.

There are no major changes to the frame or engine, and the parallel twin-cylinder engine mounted in a lightweight steel diamond frame produces a maximum output of 67.5kW/9500rpm and a maximum torque of 75Nm/7250rpm. The throttle-by-wire allows you to select a riding mode that combines engine power, engine brake, ABS, and HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) with integrated wheelie control. In addition to the four modes of Sport, Standard, Rain, and Gravel, there is also a User mode that allows you to set each setting as you like.

The suspension is equipped with SHOWA 43mm SFF-CATM (Separate Function Fork Cartridge) USD forks at the front and a separate reservoir-type Showa shock (with preload adjustment mechanism) at the rear. Improved compression/rebound damping improves control on uneven ground and when fully loaded with a passenger and luggage.

Along with the backlit 4-way toggle switch on the left handlebar, you can easily perform on-screen turn-by-turn navigation, as well as listen to music via a Bluetooth helmet headset.

The suspension is a Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD fork in the front and a ProLink with a 7-stage adjustable rear shock in the rear, with new settings to improve front-end feeling. The brakes are Nissin radial mount 4-pot calipers + 296mm wave discs in the front and single pot calipers + 240mm discs in the rear.
