Honda has unveiled updates for its 2025 motorcycle lineup, focusing on the NC750X and XL750 Transalp models. These enhancements aim to improve performance, comfort, and sustainability.
2025 Honda NC750X
Design & Sustainability: The NC750X features a refreshed design with a minimalist aesthetic, including a new LED headlight and streamlined fairings. Honda has incorporated Durabio, a bio-based polycarbonate resin, into parts like the fairings and windscreen, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Performance Enhancements: While retaining its 745cc parallel-twin engine, the NC750X now includes a recalibrated Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) for smoother low-speed control. The front braking system has been upgraded from a single disc to dual 296mm discs, improving stopping power.
Technology Upgrades: A new 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync allows riders to access navigation, calls, and music. The display is operated through a backlit four-way handlebar switch.
Comfort & Convenience: The seat has been redesigned for better ergonomics, and the 23-liter storage compartment remains, now with optional USB charging.
2025 Honda XL750 Transalp
Design & Aerodynamics: The Transalp adopts a new dual LED headlight setup inspired by the Africa Twin, along with a redesigned windscreen made from Durabio material. These changes aim to enhance aerodynamics and rider comfort.
Suspension Improvements: Honda has revised the suspension settings, softening the front fork’s compression and rebound damping while firming up the rear shock. This adjustment enhances handling on uneven terrain and when carrying additional load.
Technology Features: Similar to the NC750X, the Transalp now includes a 5-inch TFT display with optical bonding for reduced glare, customizable layouts, and smartphone connectivity through Honda RoadSync.
Engine & Performance: The 755cc parallel-twin engine remains, delivering 92 horsepower. The bike continues to offer multiple riding modes, including Sport, Standard, Rain, and Gravel, along with a customizable User mode.
