X-ADV 2025

Description:

We like breaking moulds. Which is exactly what our X-ADV does. Part adventure motorcycle, part scooter with the best attributes of both, it is the premium urban explorer. And now even more desirable. There’s still a powerful engine to play with but the SUV styling is sharper – and part constructed from sustainable Durabio™ – while new dual LED headlights feature DRL indicators. The screen adjusts easily one handed, the seat’s more comfortable and we’ve updated the DCT for smooth low speed response. And added cruise control for longer journeys. City block? Highway? Off-road trail? The X-ADV does it all. Any day, and every day you like.

Premium Urban Adventurer

Leading the way a sharp new front fairing exudes premium SUV style while twin LED projector headlights throw broad beams ahead. The indicators are now incorporated into the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), producing a clean and highly visible look, significantly improving visibility and safety for pedestrians and other road users. But with X-ADV function is as important as form; scooter practicalities like storage under the seat (with bright internal light and convenient internal compartment divider), easy-access glovebox up front, step floor and screen which is adjustable in 5-levels, making life on the move a day-to-day pleasure.

Ready For Anything

You expect best in class performance. You’ve got it: 43kW peak power with a heavyweight 69Nm torque at just 4,750rpm. Throttle by Wire control and four default riding modes – STANDARD, SPORT, RAIN and GRAVEL – cover the urban to dirt tracks, and everything in between, plus you can go fully custom. Honda Selectable Torque Control is newly optimised for smoother traction management in RAIN and GRAVEL mode. And, just like the new CRF1100L Africa Twin, the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) has been superbly updated to enhance start/stop and low-speed feel, with the new cruise control perfectly in sync.

The Adventure Begins from Your Door

From urban to off-road, the X-ADV’s agile chassis handles impeccably. It starts with the strength of a tubular steel diamond-style mainframe, and the bump absorbing abilities of long stroke USD forks (153mm/130mm front and rear) and Pro-Link rear shock. Then builds in an upright riding position, for superb all-round visibility and control. Seat height is 820mm and the seat itself, now with 10% more urethane foam, is comfortable and contoured for easy ground reach. The finishing touch? Motorcycle levels of grip from the 17/15-inch front and rear wheel combination, wearing 120/70-17 and 160/60-15 tyres.
