Bengaluru, 21st May 2025 :   Taking a bold leap in the premium two-wheeler space, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) today launched the All-New “X-ADV”. Blending the rugged spirit of an adventure motorcycle with the practicality of a maxi-scooter, the “X-ADV” carves out a unique niche of its own. Bookings for the X-ADV are now open at Honda’s BigWing dealerships across India and its customer deliveries are slated to begin from June 2025 onwards. The All-New Honda X-ADV has been priced at Rs. 11.90 lakh, ex-showroom Gurugram (Haryana).

Announcing the launch, Mr. Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “At Honda, we constantly challenge conventions to redefine the motorcycling experience. The X-ADV is a statement of innovation and design evolution – a machine that breaks boundaries between adventure and urban mobility.

 Commenting on this announcement, Mr. Yogesh Mathur, Director, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “The launch of the X-ADV marks yet another milestone in our BigWing journey as we continue to expand our premium motorcycle portfolio. With a perfect blend of adventure capability and city-friendly dynamics, the X-ADV will help you take a ride on the wild side. Whether it’s weekday commutes or weekend escapes, this crossover machine offers unmatched practicality and performance, promising to deliver on all fronts. We look forward to welcoming riders to explore this unique experience at our BigWing dealerships.”

The All-New Honda X-ADV redefines design with its futuristic crossover styling that seamlessly blends the ruggedness of an adventure tourer with the sleekness of an urban commuter. It showcases a premium frontal signature with dual LED headlights that exude a sharp, modern look. Integrated within are high-visibility daytime running lights (DRLs) that also subtly house the turn indicators, maintaining a clean yet purposeful front profile.

The X-ADV’s design is not only striking but also practical. The seat has been carefully reshaped for easier ground reach, while thicker urethane padding enhances long-distance comfort. Underneath the seat lies a spacious 22-litre storage compartment, ideal for storing a helmet or daily essentials, and it even houses a USB Type-C charging port for added convenience. Riders can choose from a bold palette of colour options that complement its rugged personality: Pearl Glare White and Graphite Black – each adding a unique character to the X-ADV’s dynamic design.

Designed with modern-day explorers in mind, the X-ADV comes equipped with a 5-inch full-colour TFT display, offering crisp visuals and a host of customizable information. It features Honda RoadSync app connectivity, enabling riders to receive call and SMS alerts, access turn-by-turn navigation, and control music and voice commands – all seamlessly managed on the go.

The X-ADV is built on a tough tubular steel frame, engineered to withstand a variety of road conditions with ease. The front is equipped with 41mm USD (Upside Down) forks, while the rear houses a spring preload adjustable monoshock for superior ride comfort. Riding on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, the X-ADV is designed for both tarmac and trails. The braking setup includes dual radial mount four-piston calipers 296mm discs up front and a single piston caliper 240mm disc at the rear, offering strong stopping power, complemented by dual-channel ABS.

At the heart of the Honda X-ADV lies a 745cc liquid-cooled SOHC 8-valve parallel-twin engine, tuned to deliver strong low to mid-range performance – ideal for city cruising as well as adventure touring. It produces 43.1 kW of power at 6,750 RPM and 69 Nm of maximum torque at 4,750 RPM, offering smooth and responsive acceleration across all terrains. Completing the powertrain is Honda’s acclaimed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which delivers seamless gear shifts.

Throttle response is managed by ride-by-wire technology, offering four default riding modes – Standard, Sport, Rain, and Gravel – each adjusting power delivery, engine braking, and traction control according to the rider’s needs. Moreover, there is a User mode that allows for B-spoke customization, empowering riders to tailor their experience. The X-ADV also comes with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for optimal traction in varying road conditions and it gets cruise control as well.

The All-New Honda X-ADV has been priced at Rs. 11.90 lakh (ex-showroom Gurugram, Haryana). It will be available exclusively through BigWing dealerships across India. With its unmatched crossover appeal, the X-ADV is set to create a new benchmark in India’s premium two-wheeler landscape. Bookings are now open with deliveries commencing from June 2025 onwards. One can also book them online via Honda BigWing India’s official website (www.HondaBigWing.in).
