Honda has rolled out the updated version of its adventure-style scooter, the X-ADV, for international markets in 2026.
While there are no major mechanical changes, the highlight is a new white paint option with bold blue and red graphics. This joins the current range of white, grey, and black shades.
What Has Changed?
As per Bikewale, while the core mechanics remain untouched, Honda has fine-tuned the six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system. The clutch has been adjusted for smoother starts from a stop and better control at low speeds. The engine is the same powerful 745cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin that produces 57.8bhp at 6,750rpm and 69Nm at 4,750rpm.
Riders can still choose between two DCT modes – Automatic and Manual – depending on their riding preference.
What Features Does It Offer?
It comes equipped with LED lighting for enhanced visibility, along with cruise control for comfortable long-distance riding. The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system ensures better grip and stability across different terrains.
Furthermore, the vehicle offers four distinct riding modes – Standard, Rain, Sport, and Gravel. It also gets a 5-inch TFT display that offers Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
How Is It Built?
Built for adventure, the scooter has a strong tubular steel frame. It uses a 41mm USD front fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. It rolls on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wire-spoke tubeless wheels, offering both durability and comfort. Braking is handled by twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear.
Is It Coming to India?
In India, the Honda X-ADV is available at Rs. 11.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Its closest rival in terms of price is the BMW C 400 GT, priced at Rs. 11.75 lakh.
