Transalp Features

The new engine on this bike is based on the Honda Hornet from Europe. It's a narrow parallel-twin design that delivers torque throughout the rev range. More power on low revs, easy cruising on the open road.

By speeding up intake-charge airspeed at the critical low- and mid-engine speeds from 3000 to 8000 rpm, you get better throttle response and acceleration.

The engine has a high-pressure fuel injection system pressurized to 65 PSI, enhancing combustion and throttle characteristics for better throttle response in technical terrain at lower and mid-RPM ranges.

It features throttle-by-wire technology. Light, precise, and proven, it's also the reason our engineers can build in the five selectable riding modes.

Off-road bikes use wire wheels with traditional spokes for better performance on dirt. The 21-inch wheel on the front and the 18-inch rear wheel sizes offer a wide range of tire options for different terrains.

With its long-travel front suspension, the inverted Showa SFF-CA fork provides excellent on- and off-road handling.

It offers our patented rising-rate Pro-Link^® rear suspension with a Showa shock and 7.5 inches of travel, the perfect balance for good pavement handling and solid off-pavement performance.

Dual front and single rear disc brakes provide ample stopping power. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is linked to riding modes, and rear-wheel ABS can be turned off for riding in the dirt.

By locating heavy components as close to the bike's center of gravity as possible and using a compact engine, this bike provides a superior platform for excellent handling.

Its 42 degrees of left and right steering lock provides excellent maneuverability on tight trails. This is one of the reasons this bike feels so much more nimble than many of the other adventure bikes out there.

8.3 inches of ground clearance perfectly balances off-pavement capability and highway use. For hard-core dirt roads, check out our optional skid plate.

It has five riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a custom setting. You can adjust power delivery, engine braking, and ABS intervention. Switching between modes is easy.

With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and ride modes, you can choose one level for some rear-wheel spin on gravel or dirt or pick a second level for less wheel spin on slippery roads.

Whether you're riding on-road or off the pavement, you'll always appreciate fast, decisive shifting, and the quick shifter makes that happen. Even better, it comes as standard equipment.

A slipper/assist clutch helps eliminate wheel hop under downshifting and gives you a lighter clutch pull at the lever.

Our counterbalancer design drives directly off the crank's primary gear, eliminating the need for an additional gear. This reduces weight and complexity, resulting in a more efficient and compact engine design.

Here's another example of superior Honda design: The water pump tucks inside the engine alternator cover rather than bolting on in a more vulnerable position, reducing both size and weight.

Phasing this bike's crank at 270 degrees gives you a unique, smooth power delivery that's easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.

This bike has a rich history of being an exceptional long-distance machine. To enhance its capabilities, we equipped it with a lightweight, high-quality fairing that balances wind and weather protection.

On a bike like this, you'll probably want to extend your adventures and take some longer trips. That's why we gave it a seat with a shape that’s both supportive enough for aggressive cornering and comfortable enough for high mileage.

Want a lower seat option? Just check out our available accessory seat. It swaps out quickly with basic tools and is 1.1 inches lower than the standard seat.

It features a 4.5-gallon fuel tank, a great balance of long-range, and reduced weight, especially when paired with our super-efficient engine.

The bike comes with a standard rear carrier that integrates with passenger handholds. If you're planning a long trip, you'll need to bring some gear along.

This weather-protected USB-C connection located under the passenger seat lets you charge your devices on the go.

It features a 5.0-inch full-color LCD display with various options, and it shows important details like speed, fuel level, trip distance, gear position, and much more.

This bike blends modern electronics with adventure motorcycling. It automatically turns off blinkers, ensuring you ride safely and confidently.
