Transalp E-Clutch Features
Unicam® engine design
Our Honda-exclusive Unicam® engine design, just like our Africa Twin and CRF450R, provides a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement and superior performance. It's the perfect combination of form and function.
755cc twin-cylinder engine
The engine on this bike is based on the Honda CB750 Hornet. 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.
Vortex air intake
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.
High-pressure fuel injection
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.
Throttle by wire
Throttle-by-wire technology is light, precise, and proven. It's also the reason our engineers can build in five selectable riding modes.
Fully adjustable suspension
New for 2026, both the front and rear suspension are fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping. The change lets you fine-tune your ride, and makes this great all-around bike even more versatile.
Spoked wheels
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 terrain.
Long-travel front suspension
With its long-travel front suspension, the inverted Showa® SFF-CA fork provides excellent on- and off-road handling.
Pro-Link® rear suspension
Our patented rising-rate Pro-Link® rear suspension with a Showa® shock and 7.5 inches of travel offer the perfect balance of good pavement handling and solid off-pavement performance.
Disc brakes with ABS
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.
Low CG, compact mass
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.
42-degree steering lock
A generous 42 degrees of left and right steering lock provide 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.
Ample ground clearance
With 7.7 inches of ground clearance, it perfectly balances off-pavement capability and highway use. For hard-core dirt riding, the skid plate now comes standard.

Ride modes
With five riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a custom setting), you can choose various levels of power delivery, engine braking, and ABS intervention, or in the two User modes even custom-set your own. Switching between modes is easy.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) gives you the appropriate level of performance for everything from dirt to gravel to all kinds of pavement. You can even customize the settings in the Transalp’s two User modes.
Gear driven counterbalancer
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.
Compact water pump
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.
270-degree-phase-crank
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.
Rally-style fairing
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.
Skid plate
New for 2026, a skid plate is standard equipment and offers generous coverage, letting you explore even more rugged terrain with peace of mind.
Extra comfortable seat
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.
Optional low seat
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.
Large fuel tank
It features a 4.4-gallon fuel tank, providing a great balance of long-range and reduced weight, especially when paired with our super-efficient engine.
Standard rear carrier
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.
USB-C port
The weather-protected USB-C connection located under the passenger seat lets you charge your devices on the go.
Extensive accessory options
With almost three dozen available accessories, it’s easy to dial in your Transalp in exactly the way you want it. Popular items include both hard- and soft luggage, taller and lower seats, a taller windscreen, a centerstand, and much more.
TFT display
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.
Self-canceling turn signals
This bike blends modern electronics with adventure motorcycling. It automatically turns off blinkers, ensuring you ride safely and confidently.
Honda RoadSync
Honda RoadSync connects your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth to the Honda RoadSync app. It allows for hands-free navigation, music playback, as well as the ability to check local forecasts at your destination. Android phones can link for hands-free calling and texting.
