It’s long been a legend in Europe—and now it’s finally returning to North America. The new Honda Transalp is designed to expand your exploring horizons: around town, on the highway, in the mountains, on the unpaved, less-travelled roads. Sized right to balance comfort, maneuverability and compactness, it’s also a showcase for one of our best engines ever, a new 755cc Unicam® parallel twin. Loaded with features like selectable riding modes and available with a wide range of accessories. Rally-bike-inspired aerodynamic bodywork offers just enough wind- and weather protection. Smooth. Tough. Agile and smart. It’s the machine so many of us have dreamed of for so long—and now the dream has come true.
Features may include:
The Transalp features five separate riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and an additional rider-customizable setting. That lets you dial in not only power delivery, but engine braking and ABS intervention too, depending on the riding surface. Plus, switching between them is super easy.
Like our Africa Twin and CRF450R, our Honda-exclusive Unicam® engine design helps us give the Transalp a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement. The engine also benefits from superior performance, thanks to the entire cylinder-head layout. It’s the best of both worlds!
Real off-road bikes use wire wheels with traditional spokes for a good reason: They work way better in the dirt. And they also use a 21-inch wheel up front, just like the Transalp. The 18-inch rear wheel gives you an excellent selection of tires too, no matter what terrain you plan on riding.
The Transalp features a 5.0-inch full-color LDC multi-informational dash display. You can choose between four display options too, and get information on vehicle speed, engine speed, fuel level, engine mode, trip distance, gear position, engine braking level, ABS, and much more.
