Honda’s updated XL750 Transalp is continuing to impress international reviewers, with Motorcycle News praising the bike’s balance of comfort, capability and everyday usability for adventure riders.

The latest Transalp combines long-distance touring comfort with genuine off-road confidence, making it perfectly suited to South Africa’s mix of highways, mountain passes, gravel roads and weekend escapes.

The review also references Honda’s innovative E-Clutch technology, designed to make riding smoother and more intuitive in both urban traffic and adventure riding conditions.

The Honda E-Clutch allows riders to shift gears without operating the clutch lever, delivering seamless starts, smoother gear changes, and reduced fatigue on longer rides.
