Honda unveils the new version of its X-ADV, the adventure scooter that challenges conventions, with a design that will make history.
Without changing its already well-known mechanics, Honda focuses on a revamped style and new colors to attract even more fans of versatile two-wheelers.
Under the bodywork, nothing changes: the X-ADV retains its 745 cc twin-cylinder engine, water-cooled, producing 58 hp and 69 Nm of torque at 4750 rpm. Power is still transmitted through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, which can operate in automatic or manual mode depending on the rider’s preferences. However, Honda claims to have refined the transmission management to provide smoother and more responsive gear changes. The top speed remains limited to 168 km/h.
Nothing changes, but it changes everything!
The chassis remains true to the recipe that made the model successful with a tubular steel frame, robust suspensions with an inverted fork at the front and a Pro-Link swingarm at the rear, all set on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels. In terms of braking, it features two 296 mm floating discs at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with standard dual-channel ABS.
The X-ADV continues to enhance its equipment: cruise control, traction control adjustable in three levels (HSTC), smart key, USB-C port, emergency stop signal, and a 5-inch color TFT dashboard, compatible with the Honda RoadSync app for navigation and smartphone management.

The major novelty for 2026 lies in the look. In addition to three existing shades, Honda introduces a special edition Matt Pearl Glare White, enhanced with red and blue graphics. A bolder style that reinforces the chic adventure vibe of this unique scooter. Staying true to its eco-friendly approach, the brand continues to use recycled materials in the manufacturing of certain components.
In summary, the Honda X-ADV 2026 retains its proven mechanical qualities while donning a more alluring outfit. Prices have yet to be announced, but they should remain within the current range with a starting price of 13,099 euros, likely slightly increased for this new color scheme. This reinforces its status as a premium hybrid two-wheeler, straddling the line between urban scooter and adventure motorcycle.
