The 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 has officially arrived in India, priced at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). This middleweight adventure bike brings with it some noticeable updates in design, ride dynamics, and tech. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and why this bike could be a compelling option for ADV riders in India.
Design Updates
For 2025, Honda has refreshed the front end of the Transalp XL750 to give it a sharper, more aggressive stance. The key changes include:
- A new LED headlight that enhances the visual appeal and visibility
- A revised windscreen made from Durabio, a bio-engineered plastic that’s both tough and environmentally friendly
These updates not only improve aesthetics but also add to the bike’s touring capability by offering better wind protection.

The Transalp XL750 comes equipped with five ride modes to cater to different riding conditions:
