Scooter description sheet Honda750 X-ADV DCT 2025 Its own rules

off the beaten track. That's exactly what the Honda 750 X-ADV is all about. Part trail bike, part scooter, it's the ultimate urban explorer, combining the best of both.

standing alone above the crowd, the X-ADV has always been distinguished by its unique visual signature. For the 2025 model year, the bodywork has been redesigned to offer even sharper, more dynamic lines. The new dual-lens LED front lighting now features daytime running lights (DRL) which, for the first time on a motorized two-wheeler, integrate turn signals.

the shape of the seat has been revised to make it easier to place your feet on the ground, while a denser urethane foam enhances comfort. Last but not least, the 22-liter trunk is complemented by a glove compartment and USB-C charging socket.

a new 5-inch color TFT screen makes its appearance, featuring new graphics, images and menu structures. Its design facilitates legibility in bright light, while the connectivity function is continued via the Honda RoadSync application. Piloted by a new, easy-to-use 4-axis backlit control, the unit allows the rider to take advantage of navigation or any other function associated with a smartphone. A practical cruise control system is included in the 2025 package, and works in conjunction with the DCT dual-clutch transmission to provide the most relaxing ride possible on long journeys.

in addition to low fuel consumption, the X-ADV's in-line twin-cylinder engine boasts excellent mid-range performance. Claimed power is 58 hp and torque 7.1 mkg.

the TBW (Throttle By Wire) electronic throttle provides 4 predefined drive modes (each offering specific combinations of power, engine braking and torque control) - plus a user-configurable USER mode. The HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) system offers 3 levels of intervention, plus new settings for GRAVEL and RAIN modes.

Reviewed on the X-ADV 2025 for smoother low-speed response, the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) features an automatic gearshift map that takes into account the rider's chosen riding style, while leaving the rider free to define his or her own preferred gear selection via the USER mode.

the chassis features a rigid tubular steel frame, 41 mm inverted fork, Pro-Link rear suspension and aluminum swingarm. Combined with a double disc with radial calipers, the front wheel announces a diameter of 17 inches versus 15 inches at the rear.

riding modes in detail:

STANDARD : for most riding situations, with an intermediate level of power, engine braking, DCT operation and torque control. ABS is at its maximum intervention level.

SPORT : DCT shifting, engine behavior and engine braking are at their most dynamic, torque control intervention is at a low level, while ABS is set for maximum intervention.

RAIN: for smooth operation, with low power and engine braking, smoother shifting and high levels of torque control and ABS.

GRAVEL: high levels of power and engine braking, low levels of torque control and ABS intervention. The DCT programming law is specific to this mode.

USER : allows the rider to define personalized settings. Power and engine braking can be set to low, medium or high, torque control to low, medium, high or off. The user can also choose between 5 different programs.

thanks to the use of an electronic throttle, the HSTC torque control system provides even more precise, non-intrusive control of the torque transmitted to the rear wheel by the engine. 3 levels of HSTC intervention can be selected by the driver, levels 1 and 3 having been optimized in 2025 for smoother operation..

- Level 1: authorizes minimal system intervention for limited rear-wheel drive control on slippery surfaces (gravel or dust, for example). System intervention is itself lower than in the past.

- Level 2: this is the default mode, providing optimum traction under normal driving conditions.

- Level 3: guarantees maximum HSTC control on slippery surfaces.

HSTC can also be switched off completely.
