Honda Ready to Make Waves With New MY25 X-ADV Model
Honda creates “even sharper, more aggressive” look with new 2025 X-ADV model
What first started in 2017, Honda is continuing to push its X-ADV range introducing a brand new 2025 model.
The 25MY bike has undergone several upgrades, including a styling refresh with twin LED headlights that feature new Daytime Running Lights, integrated indicators, plus new standard-fit cruise control, and a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) upgrade for smoother low-speed handling.
In a bid to become even more environmentally friendly biomass plastic Durabio (engineered plastic) is used for some fairing parts. Also constructed from Durabio, the windscreen adjusts through three different stages.
The X-ADV’s rich specification is also highlighted by Throttle By Wire (TBW) management, four default riding modes with pre-set combinations of settings for Power, Engine Braking and Honda’s very own Selectable Torque Control which has been refined specifically for the model update.
As is standard with Honda motorcycles, comfort is an important part of its makeup and the seat features an extra 10% urethane foam for improved comfort, a new shape for easier ground reach and a smoother opening and closing action. The 22L seat storage compartment includes a USB-C socket, and its glove box has been added to create further convenience.
The new My25 Honda X-ADV’s chassis consists of tubular steel frame, 41mm USD front forks, rear monoshock with Pro-Link, and an aluminium swingarm. A 17-inch front wheel is paired with a 15-inch wheel at the rear with dual, radial-mount four-piston callipers at the front. It’s also available in three colours - Graphite Black, Pearl Glare White and Matte Deep Mud Gray.
There are four riding modes available with the new X-ADV model and they are Standard, Sport, Rain and Gravel.
The design of the Honda X-ADV’s engine is a liquid-cooled, SOHC eight-valve parallel twin-cylinder, that’s aimed at delivering a boat load of performance in the low-to-mid range. Full specification details can be found below.
