2025 Honda Transalp: Key highlights

Price

The 2025 Honda Transalp is priced at RM 56,800 in Malaysia, excluding road tax, insurance, and registration. Included in the price is a two-year or 20,000 km warranty (whichever comes first) against manufacturing defects.

Engine 

At the core of the new Honda Transalp lies a 755-cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, which churns out a maximum power of 90.5 hp at 9,500 rpm and a peak torque of 75 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox mated to an assist and slipper clutch system.

The engine delivers smooth, responsive power across the rev range in both city and off-the-beaten-path conditions, claims Honda.

Design 

Based on a lightweight steel diamond-style main frame, the new Transalp features a redesigned front end inspired by the Africa Twin. It boasts all-new, bold dual LED projector headlights that not only enhance the bike’s commanding road presence but also offer improved nighttime visibility. 

Also new for the 2025 model year are redesigned intake ducts and a new, reshaped screen made from Durabio™ bio-based polycarbonate that provides better wind protection and reduces rider fatigue on long rides. The upper fairing and middle cowl have been redesigned for better airflow and handling agility. 

Features

The bike comes equipped with several advanced features, providing riders with comfort and convenience on the go. These include -

• All-new 5-inch coloured TFT display that is easily operated by a 4-way toggle on the left handlebar
• Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation and many more functions

• Five riding modes, including Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel and a fifth mode user customisable for adjusting engine power, braking, traction, and ABS levels through Throttle By Wire technology
• 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels wrapped with 90/90 and 150/70 front and rear tyres, respectively
• Showa 43mm SFF-CA (Separate Function Fork-Cartridge) upside-down forks at the front and preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear
• Dual 310 mm ‘wave’ front disc with two-piston callipers and 265 mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper 

Colour options 

Boon Siew Honda offers the new Transalp in three colour options, viz.

• Ross White
• Pearl Deep Mud Grey
• Graphite Black.

Speaking at the launch, Boon Siew Honda’s CEO and Managing Director, Mr. Kunitomo Asano, said, “The Honda Transalp is built for riders who seek more from every journey. By combining proven engineering and smart technology, this model pushes the boundaries of adventure riding across every terrain.”
