New Launch of the Honda XL 750 Transalp Moves the Automotive Market in Brazil with Power, Technology, and Adventure Package.
Honda XL 750 Transalp Debuts in Brazil with Versatile Proposal and Focus on Performance
The Honda XL 750 Transalp has just been launched in Brazil, and the launch introduces a completely renewed big trail to the automotive market, designed for those seeking performance in urban use, long trips, and off-road trails.
Honda presented the model this week at Brazilian dealerships after confirming that the new generation comes to revive a classic name and cater to an increasingly interested audience in versatile motorcycles.
The launch occurs in December because the brand bets on strong demand at the end of the year when many riders plan new routes and trips.

The motorcycle was highlighted in the presentation because it combines tradition, updated technology, and the same mechanical set as the Hornet 750—a choice that reinforces Honda’s strategy to standardize platforms in the Brazilian automotive market.
Additionally, the launch responds to the search for motorcycles capable of delivering comfort, strength, and agility in different riding conditions.
Honda XL 750 Transalp Engine: Power Adjusted for Brazil
The Honda XL 750 Transalp features the well-known parallel twin engine of 755 cm³, also used in the Hornet line. It delivers 69.3 hp at 7,000 rpm and 7.04 kgfm of torque, with Unicam timing, a 270° crankshaft, and an assist and slipper clutch.
On the other hand, Honda needed to adjust the power for Brazil. Just like with the Hornet 750, the engine received a reduction in power compared to the European version to meet national noise emission standards.
Even with this adjustment, the big trail maintains quick responses thanks to the Throttle By Wire system, which optimizes the power delivery electronically.
Advanced Riding Modes for Different Terrains
To enhance versatility, the launch of the Honda XL 750 Transalp offers six riding modes:
- Sport
- Standard
- Rain
- Gravel
- User 1
- User 2
These modes adjust power, engine brake, HSTC traction control, and ABS engagement. In the most aggressive off-road mode, the rider can even reduce or deactivate the ABS on the rear wheel, which improves control on loose surfaces.
Honda XL 750 Transalp’s Chassis Prioritizes Stability and Comfort
The chassis is one of the most valued points in big trails, and Honda applied modern solutions in the new launch. The diamond-type steel frame weighs only 18.3 kg and uses a reinforced integrated subframe, improving strength and reducing vibrations.
Additionally, the suspensions feature high-spec components:
- Showa SFF-CA™ USD 43 mm with 200 mm of travel in the front.
- Pro-Link Mono Shock with an external reservoir and 190 mm of travel in the rear.
The spoked wheels of 21″ in the front and 18″ in the rear reinforce the adventurous focus, while the brakes use 310 mm discs in the front and 256 mm in the rear, both with ABS.
Dimensions Designed for Daily Riding and Long Trips
Despite its large size, the new Honda XL 750 Transalp was designed to ease the routine in the Brazilian motorcycle market. Therefore, the seat height is only 855 mm, a lower value than the standard for big trails. This improves foot support on the ground, especially in urban maneuvers or on uneven terrain.
The model also offers:
- 212 mm of ground clearance
- 1,561 mm of wheelbase
- Tank of 16.6 liters
These measurements help deliver greater autonomy and better stability at high speeds.
Design Inspired by the Africa Twin and Focused on Functionality
The aesthetic of the Honda XL 750 Transalp follows the philosophy of the Africa Twin, a reference model among Honda’s global big trails. The front assembly brings dual LED headlights and clean lines, with bodywork designed to deflect wind.
The windshield is made of Durabio™, a sustainable and highly transparent material that reduces pressure on the helmet at high speeds. Additionally, the 5″ color TFT display has three layouts and a backlit control on the left handle.
Among the electronic features, the bike includes the ESS system, which automatically activates the turn signals during sudden braking to alert other drivers—an important functionality in today’s automotive market.
Original Accessories and Official Apparel Line
Honda also confirmed a wide range of accessories for customization. Thus, the rider can adapt the XL 750 Transalp for daily use or long trips.
Among the items are the 50 L Top Box, side cases, and center stand, which facilitate routine.
Additionally, there are body protection, handlebar protection, and tall windshield, which enhance comfort and safety.
The fog lights and rally footpegs complete the package for those seeking extra performance.
Finally, the brand will also launch technical clothing in partnership with Alpinestars, including a parka jacket and pants for trips.
