Honda has unveiled the 2026 iteration of its unique X-ADV adventure scooter for the global market, introducing fresh color schemes while retaining its proven mechanicals. The updated model now features four colour options, headlined by a striking special edition Matt Pearl Glare White with red and blue HRC-style graphics. This new livery is a nod to Honda’s racing heritage, seen on models like the Africa Twin.
The scooter continues to be powered by the same 745 cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, delivering 57 horsepower and 69 Nm of peak torque. Power is managed by a six-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) that offers both automatic and manual shifting modes. While the powertrain is unchanged, Honda has tweaked the gearbox for a smoother riding experience.

Structurally, the X-ADV is built on a tubular steel diamond frame, paired with USD front forks and a Pro-Link swingarm at the rear. It rides on a 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheel setup, with braking handled by dual 296 mm front discs and a single 240 mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS.
For rider convenience and technology, the 2026 X-ADV is equipped with a comprehensive feature set.
- 5-inch TFT Display: Offers connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app for calls, music, and navigation.
- Rider Aids: Includes a 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and cruise control.
- Convenience: Comes with a Smart Key system, a USB-C charging port, and an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS).
The X-ADV remains a significant model for Honda, ranking as its third best-selling motorcycle in Europe. The 2026 update focuses purely on aesthetics, with the core engineering and design that have defined the adventure scooter category left untouched.
