Honda X-ADV

The All-New Honda X-ADV has been launched at Rs. 11.90 lakh. It blends the rugged qualities of an adventure motorcycle with the practicality of a maxi-scooter. The X-ADV carves out a unique place of its own.

• The Honda X-ADV’s design merges an adventure tourer with a maxi-scooter.

• The scooter gets a split LED headlight setup, a tall windscreen, knuckle guards, and an upswept exhaust - adding to its off-road ready look.

• The X-ADV is available in two colour options: Pearl Glare White and Graphite Black.

• The scooter comes equipped with a 5-inch full-colour TFT console that comes with Honda RoadSync app connectivity, call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and music/voice command control.

• It also gets convenience features like cruise control, keyless ignition, and ‘Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)’, which is Honda’s fancy name for switchable traction control.

• It has a 22-litre under-seat storage compartment, also with a USB Type-C charge port.

• The seat looks spacious and well-contoured for comfort, but the seat height is high at 820mm.

• The handlebars are positioned upright and wide, giving better control.

• The suspension setup should be comfortable whether on or off the road.

• The X-ADV is powered by a 745cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine that makes 58.6PS at 6,750rpm, 69Nm at 4,750rpm, and has a claimed 168kmph top speed.

• The engine is mated to a six-speed, dual-clutch, automatic transmission (DCT), which gets both manual and automatic modes. In manual, you can change gears by pressing the (+) or (-) buttons on the left side switchgear.

• The claimed mileage is 27.7kmpl and it has a large 13.2-litre fuel tank capacity.

• It gets a ride-by-wire throttle and offers five riding modes – Standard, Sport, Rain, Gravel, and a customizable User mode.

• The scooter is built on a tubular steel frame, suspended by a 41mm inverted fork with 153mm of travel and a preload-adjustable monoshock with 150mm of travel.

• The ground clearance is 165mm and the kerb weight is 237kg - which is rather heavy.

• It gets a 17-inch front and 15-inch setup, with wire-spoke wheels and block-pattern tubeless tyres at both ends.

• It has dual 296mm front discs with radially-mounted 4-piston calipers and a 240mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS.

• With its unique styling, performance, and features - the X-ADV stands out not only in Honda’s lineup, but also as the only ‘adventure scooter’ available currently.

• With the practicality of underseat storage, smartphone connectivity, riding modes, and its ready to go anywhere intent - the X-ADV is a compelling option for those interested in both adventure and convenience in one package.
