A crossover-styled machine, with strong off-road ability. To make people sit up and take notice you have to do something entirely different, and the Honda X-ADV does just that.
The X-ADV’s agility makes light work of the everyday ride
through town traffic; but come the weekend, you can set your sights much
further afield.

Be SeatedGood proportions for one or two-up riding, the seat is made with premium materials to make sure a long journey is a comfortable one. It's just the right height for the city, riding in town traffic, or anywhere in the countryside and provides excellent visibility with an upright riding position.
Hand GuardsIt wouldn’t be a crossover without the hand guards. They're the same as the Africa Twin and not just for looks either; they keep the wind-chill and weather off your hands and protect them from stones and off-road debris.
Colour Delight A new off-road, Grand Prix Red, CRF-style colour scheme really establishes the X-ADV’s motorcycle DNA.
With a strong twin-cylinder engine and a selection of
different transmission modes, it’s an exhilarating ride through those fast,
sweeping bends.

Honda Selectable Torque Control Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) features 2 Levels: Level 1 allows some rear wheel spin on gravel or dirt tracks and Level 2 inspires greater confidence on slippery roads. The default setting, which is Level 2, can be changed by simply pushing the button on the handlebar. (Pushing and holding the button turns HSTC off.)
Multi-DCT Modes Standard automatic D mode selects lower ratios for quick acceleration; just what you need in town traffic. For a sportier ride – out of town – S mode really hits the spot by changing gear at higher RPM. You can save S mode settings for subsequent and similar rides too, and it’s all displayed on the LCD panel.
Power to HandThe X-ADV’s 745cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine puts out strong low-to-mid-range torque of 68Nm @ 4750rpm. This long-stroke motor delivers a rush of road-ripping acceleration from very low rpm; quite capable of leaving most other motorcycles standing at a traffic light.
Refined Performance Twin balancers on the crank shaft counteract vibration when the engine runs at higher revs, yet still allows a distinctive ‘throb’ and deep exhaust note delivered by the 270° firing order. It’s a unique and satisfying sound.
Extra Economy A single 36mm throttle body and PGM-FI feeds the exact fuel/air ratio to make the X-ADV EURO4 compliant. With fuel consumption that provides approximately 300km range, there's a lot of riding to do on a 13.1-litre fuel tank.
You can experience some real off-road thills riding the
X-ADV. Even on the loose stuff you’ll feel a great response, with superb
control, by using Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and the G-switch.

Front-end Stability The X-ADV has a strong stainless, 17-inch spoked front wheel that ensures greater control and handling on both smooth tarmac and rough terrain. Fitted with dual-purpose, block-pattern tyres, they’re perfectly suited to the X-ADV’s crossover looks and rugged attitude.
Long TravelThe 41mm upside-down fork offers spring preload and rebound damping adjustment along with 153mm of travel, while the preload-adjustable Pro-Link rear shock offers 150mm. All this, matched with a ground clearance of 162mm, make it ideal for more than just a casual off-road excursion.
G-Switch A feature taken straight from the Africa Twin, the G switch increases the X-ADV’s off-road capability and is positioned on the instrument panel. Hitting the switch, in any riding mode, improves traction and delivers power exactly to where you need it most – at the back wheel.
MT Mode If you want to take complete control of the X-ADV and experience that direct contact between brain, wrist, throttle, engine and road surface, then select this manual mode for some old-school riding thrills.
It’s easy to choose the ride that suits you best for
different road conditions and off-road surfaces. Once selected, each mode is
clearly displayed on the wide LCD instrument panel.

A Brighter View The twin slim headlights are bright LED, so you won’t miss a thing. They’re designed as an integral part of the front fairing and are divided by a sporty mesh grill - adding extra aggression to the X-ADV’s stare.
Adjustable Windscreen The X-ADV’s screen adjusts without tools from low to high – through five positions – for greater wind and weather protection. The total height difference is 136mm, with an 11° angle difference between the highest and lowest points.
Anti-Lock Braking System Braking on the X-ADV with ABS inspires confidence on less than perfect roads or in wet conditions. It delivers strong, precise and stable stopping performance through both dual-discs with radial-mounted and 4-piston front brake callipers. The rear disc brake is also a 2-piston calliper type.
