The XL750 Transalp takes inspiration from the original 1986 model with its sleek and clean bodywork. A smooth, comfortable, do-it-all crossover that’s designed to be at home everywhere. Featuring Honda’s newly developed 755cc parallel twin engine which has mountains of torque and plenty of engine character with its 270° crank. A steel diamond frame has been specially engineered to provide manoeuvrability for tight turns on mountain paths and comfort for adventure touring. The new Transalp projects an unmistakable feeling of adventure touring in a package that works superbly on the road.
The new 755cc parallel twin cylinder engine is designed to produces a hard hit of top end power, with maximum output of 67.5kW/9,500rpm. This is accompanied by significant usable torque in the low to mid rpm range, rising to a peak of 75Nm/ 7,250rpm. The result is an engine that provides usable, enjoyable performance for rides of all types and all distances.
The front brake boasts dual 310mm “wave” discs while the rear uses a 1-pot caliper and 256mm single disc. Enjoy riding with a sense of security from paved to unpaved roads.
There are 4 default riding modes to choose from, plus a customisable USER mode:
To ensure off-road performance and neutral handling in various types of road environments, SHOWA suspension has been used in both front and rear. Inverted front forks are made of forged aluminium for lighter weight and optimum balance between strength and rigidity. Rear suspension has a spring preload adjuster, pressurized shock absorber with a separate tank and Pro Link aluminium hybrid swing arm for high manoeuvrability.
The Transalp’s body lines have been specifically designed to reduce wind drag and rider fatigue. For open visibility forward, and excellent wind deflection, the screen’s height has been carefully optimised. Its compact width also minimises turbulence from trapped air.
The assist and slipper clutch includes an assist function to reduce the operation load of the clutch lever as well as a slipper function to mitigate impacts from rapid engine braking accompanying downshifting.
