After its international debut in 2022, the 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 has been facelifted for the coming model year. In Malaysia, the 2024 Honda Transalp retails at RM56,800 excluding road tax, insurance and registration.
Main items that are new for the Transalp XL750 in 2025 are the headlights and windscreen. The new headlights are more compact in design with a style that mimics the headlights on the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin (RM119,388 in Malaysia.)
Alongside the new headlight, the upper fairing is redesigned to accommodate a central air intake to allow better air flow for the rider. The new windscreen is made from Honda’s environmentally friendly Durobio material and improves the wind deflection around the rider and according to Honda, improves the aerodynamics of the Transalp.
The TFT-LCD instrument panel is the same size as previous at 5 inches but is an all-new unit that is easily readable in daylight and does not reflect glare, with three display modes. Using optical bonding, the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen is sealed with resin, improving visual performance.
Complementing the new instrument panel is redesigned toggle backlit switches on the left handlebar pod, now simplified and easier to use on-the-go. Smartphone connectivity comes courtesy of Honda’s RoadSync app, compatible with both Android and iPhone.
The Transalp XL750 comes with five riding modes – Sport, Standard, Rain and Gravel – while a fifth mode is user customisable. The electronic riding suite also includes four engine power modes, three levels of engine braking and five mode traction control including an off-road mode while ABS is switchable for off-road use.
Suspension for the Transalp XL750 uses Showa 43mm SFF-CA (Separate Function Fork-Cartridge) upside-down forks and preload-adjustable rear monoshock. The Transalp gets 200 mm of suspension travel in front and 190 mm in the rear, with 210 mm of ground clearance.
Catering to off-road sensibilities, the Transalp XL750 comes with a 21-inch wheel in front and an 18-inch hoop in the rear. Tyre sizing is 90/90 and 150/70, front and rear, respectively, while braking is done with two-piston callipers clamping dual 310mm ‘wave’ disc while the rear gets a single-piston calliper and 265 mm disc.
Other specifications remain unchanged with the liquid-cooled parallel-twin SOHC mill displacing 755 cc and producing 90.5 hp at 9,500 rpm with 75 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Power gets to the ground through an assist and slipper clutch equipped six-speed gearbox with chain final drive.
16.9-litres of fuel is carried in the tank while seat height is set at 850 mm – there is a 820 mm low seat option – and weight is listed as 208 kg. New colour options for the 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 are Graphite Black and Pearl Deep Mud Gray.
