Honda XL750 Transalp

Honda 2Wheeler India has further expanded its product portfolio by launching the all-new XL750 Transalp in India at an introductory price of Rs 10,99,999 ex-showroom, Gurugram. The motorcycle is already on sale in the international market and will be brought to India via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route from Japan. Bookings for the adventure tourer are now open for the first 100 customers and will be exclusively sold through the Honda BingWing Top Line dealership.

On the tech front, the XL750 features a 5.0-inch TFT console that can either be operated directly from the screen or the switchgear on the left. Honda has also equipped the motorcycle with its Honda Smartphone Voice Control system (HSVCs) allowing the rider to link their smartphone to manage calls, messages, music and navigation. In addition to that, it also gets an emergency stop signal feature that communicates sudden braking to the vehicles behind by flashing hazard lamps and there’s an automatic turn signal cancelling function as well.

Powering the XL750 Transalp is a 755cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that’s compact in design with a good top-end punch and healthy torque curve in the low- to mid-rpm range. The motor is rated to produce 90.52 bhp of max power and 75 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The motor comes with patented Vortex flow ducts for quick pick-up and throttle response that feeds the air to the 46mm throttle bodies. The cylinders feature Ni-Sic(Nickel-Silicon Carbide) coating for better engine efficiency due to lower friction levels. Other features include Throttle-By-Wire (TBW), five riding modes, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with dual-channel ABS and a slipper clutch.
