Honda Transalp XL750 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 755cc single producing 90.5 bhp and 75 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 208 kg the power-to-weight figure is 435 bhp per tonne, which ranks 3 of 14 in its class here.
Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.

Dimensions in practice
The Transalp XL750 weighs 208 kg with fluids, has an 850 mm seat, 210 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1560 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
The fuel tank holds 16.9 litres.
Tyres are 90/90-21 front and 150/70R18 rear.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
Projector headlamp
Sharper cut-off and a longer throw than a reflector unit.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Equipment against V-Strom 800 DE and 890 Adventure R
Against V-Strom 800 DE or 890 Adventure R, it gets rear monoshock that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: side-stand engine cut-off, slipper clutch and tubeless tyres, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
Only the Transalp XL750 has
- Rear monoshock
Rivals have, it lacks
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Slipper clutch
- Tubeless tyres
