Honda to launch 2024 XL750 Transalp in US next month

MANILA: American Honda has confirmed that the 2024 XL750 Transalp will be launched in the United States (US) in October.

The Transalp, which first went on sale in 1986, has a long history in the adventure category and is well known for its on- and off-road capabilities. Having the same character, the new-generation Transalp has become popular in the European market.

Equipped with a high-performance, twin-cylinder Unicam engine, the 2024 Honda XL750 Transalp is perfect for long-distance trips. There are five available riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a rider-customizable setting. The XL750 Transalp also comes with Honda Selectable Torque Control and throttle-by-wire technology.

For better handling, the Honda XL750 Transalp is fitted with 21-inch (in) front and 18in rear wheels. The long-travel front suspension and Pro-Link rear suspension ensures solid on- and off-road performance.

The XL750 Transalp is equipped with a full-color LCD multi-information dash display with four display options. This gives information on motorcycle speed, engine speed, fuel level, engine mode, trip distance, gear position, engine braking level, anti-lock braking system, and more.

Under the passenger seat is a USB-C port where riders can charge their mobile devices while on the road.

Honda will be offering accessory collections for the all-new XL750 Transalp, which include Adventure, Touring, City, and Comfort options.

“As the adventure category continues to thrive and evolve, customers are more eager than ever to get out and explore. The all-new, midsize XL750 Transalp joins Honda's iconic Africa Twin and pocket-adventurer CB500X to complete our popular True Adventure lineup, ready to deliver unforgettable outdoor experiences to US ADV enthusiasts from coast to coast,” American Honda Racing and Experiential Marketing Manager Brandon Wilson stated.

The 2024 Honda XL750 Transalp is available in Matte Black Metallic. It is priced at $9,999 (approximately P567,000).

Honda also announced the upcoming launch of the 2023 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP in the US market. The powerful inline-four-cylinder engine, superior electronic suspension, and cutting-edge rider aids of the Fireblade SP made it win the last two editions of the Suzuki 8 Hours endurance race.

The 2023 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is available in Pearl White with a price of $28,900 (approximately P1.64 million).
