Honda X-ADV (2025) Dilancarkan dengan Sembilan Rombakan Utama

Honda X-ADV (2025) telah dilancarkan di luar negara, dan menampilkan banyak kemas kini berguna.

Dilancarkan pada 2017, model ini telah terbukti sangat popular di seluruh dunia. Ia sudah popular di Malaysia walaupun sebelum diimport dan dijual secara rasmi. Kemudian, pembeli terpaksa menunggu berbulan-bulan untuk motosikal mereka apabila ia dijual secara rasmi. Tidak sukar untuk memahami pesona motosikal ini: Enjin berkembar selari dengan tork yang kuat digabungkan dengan kemudahan skuter dan motosikal konvensional yang agresif.

Tetapi, kami ada beberapa aduan seperti mustahil untuk melaraskan skrin angin semasa bergerak, bontot terasa sakit selepas menunggang sejauh 100km, tiada ruang simpanan di bahagian hadapan walaupun mempunyai bentuk skuter, skrin LCD yang susah untuk dilihat, dan terumatanya transmisi DCT yang sukar untuk dipandu pada kelajuan rendah dan menyebabkan saya tertumbang (seperti juga CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT).

Oleh itu, Honda telah mendengar aduan-aduan itu daripada pengguna jadi Honda X-ADV (2025) ini menampilkan sembilan (!) peningkatan.

1. Skrin TFT baharu

Terdapat skrin TFT lima inci baharu yang bersambung kepada aplikasi telefon pintar Honda RoadSync. Honda juga mengatakan bahawa terdapat salutan anti-silau baharu pada skrin.

2. Kawalan jelajah (cruise control)

Kawalan jelajah (cruise control) adalah standard, dan merupakan tambahan yang bagus untuk penunggang Malaysia kerana kami suka melancong ke mana-mana dengan apajua jenis motosikal. Syarikat itu juga memperkenalkan kotak simpanan sisi, serta kotak simpanan atas 50 liter dan 38 liter sebagai pilihan di pasaran Eropah, walaupun kami ragu-ragu jika ini sampai ke sini. Honda X-ADV (2025) juga mendapat suis baharu di handel kiri dengan pencahayaan.

3. Mod kuasa serta DCT yang dikemaskini

Keempat mod kuasa telah dikemaskini. Mod kuasa menukar output kuasa, brek enjin, kawalan cengkaman dan operasi DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). Terdapat juga mod USER yang boleh memberikan pengguna melaras mod secara manual. Selain itu, DCT juga telah diubah suai untuk operasi berkelajuan rendah yang dipertingkatkan. (Nampak? Ia bukan salah saya!)

4. Span pelana lebih tebal

Span uretana pelana duduk adalah 10 peratus lebih tebal, tetapi pelana itu dibentuk semula untuk memudahkan penunggang memijak permukaan bumi. Pelana juga lebih mudah dibuka dan ditutup apabila mengakses ruang bawah tempat duduk.

5. Skrin depan boleh dilaras untuk 3 posisi

Skrin depan boleh laras untuk tiga kedudukan. Pelarasan lebih mudah dan hanya memerlukan tangan kiri anda untuk melakukannya. Julat pelarasan ialah 14cm, melalui julat 11 darjah.

6. Penderia (sensor) sudut condong pada topang tengah

Topang tengah mempunyai penderia (sensor) kecondongan untuk memberi amaran jika anda telah meletak motosikal pada permukaan yang terlalu curam, supaya motosikal tidak terbalik apabila anda meninggalkannya.

7. DRL yang disepadukan dengan lampu isyarat

Daytime Running Lights LED (DRL) baharu telah disepadukan dengan lampu isyarat. Ini adalah motosikal pertama dengan ciri ini, menurut Honda. Lampu utama juga telah direka semula, dengan dwi-LED pada setiap sisi, sama seperti Honda Civic.

8. Bentuk badan yang dipertingkatkan

Walaupun bentuk asasnya kekal, terdapat beberapa kemaskini pada bentuk badan motosikal ini. Salah satunya ialah reka bentuk lampu depan yang disebutkan di atas, dan bahagian hitam di antara lampu depan telah hilang. Gambar-gambar juga menunjukkan pemesong angin lutsinar di sepanjang tepi fairing hadapan, walaupun kami tidak pasti sama ada ini adalah pilihan atau peralatan standard.

9. Bahan kitar semula

Honda mengatakan bahawa mereka menggunakan bahan kitar semula yang dipanggil Durabio, suatu plastik biomass pada pelbagai bahagian badan Honda X-ADV (2025). Kotak bagasi dan tapak tempat duduk diperbuat daripada bampar kereta Honda yang dikitar semula, manakala plastik kitar semula digunakan untuk panel dan penutup.

Akhir sekali, terdapat empat warna untuk dipilih: Matte Gold Finch Yellow untuk Edisi Khas dan tiga warna kelabu untuk model standard. Harga belum didedahkan.

2025 Honda X-ADV Launched with Nine Updates

The 2025 Honda X-ADV has been launched overseas, and features many useful updates.

Launched in 2017, the model has proven to be ultra popular the world over. It was already popular in Malaysia even prior to being officially imported and sold. Then, buyers had to wait for months for their bikes when it is officially sold. It is not difficult to understand the bike’s charms: A parallel-twin engine with raw torque combined with the ease of a scooter and the rowdiness of a conventional motorcycle.

But, we do have our complaints such as the screen is impossible to adjust on the move, the bum feels sore after riding for 100km, there is no storage space at the front despite having the shape of a step-through scooter, the LCD screen was too busy, and most of all the DCT was difficult to modulate at low speeds and causing me to dumb the bike (as with the CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT).

So, Honda must have heard the complaints so the 2025 Honda X-ADV features nine(!) upgrades.

1. New TFT screen

There is a new five-inch, TFT dash which is more connected, using the Honda RoadSync smartphone app. Honda also says that there is a new anti-glare coating on the screen.

2. Cruise control

Cruise control is now standard – a great addition for Malaysian riders because we love to tour everywhere on any motorcycle. The company also introduced panniers, as well as 50-liter and 38-liter top boxes as options in the European market, although we are sceptical if these make their way here. The 2025 Honda X-ADV also gets new backlit left-handlebar switchgear.

3. Updated power modes

The four power modes have been updated.The power modes change the power output, engine braking, traction controls, and DCT operation. There is also a USER mode that can be personalized. Additionally the DCT has also been modified for improved low-speed operation. (See? It was not my fault!)

4. Seat with thicker foam

The seat’s urethane foam is 10 percent thicker, but the seat is reshaped to make it easier for the rider to put his/her feet down. The seat is easier to open and close when accessing the underseat compartment.

5. Windscreen adjustable for three positions

The windscreen is adjustable for three positions. Adjustments are easier and only require your left hand to accomplish. The adjustment range is 14cm, and the screen rake moves over an 11-degree range.

6. Tilt sensor on the centrestand

The centerstand has a tilt sensor to alert you if you have parked on an incline that is too steep, so that the bike does not topple over when you walk away.

7. DRL with integrated turn signals

The new LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) have integrated turn indicators. This is the first motorcycle with this feature, according to Honda. The main headlights have been redesigned, too, with dual LEDs in each side, much like the Honda Civic.

8. Revised bodywork

While its silhouette remains, there are several updates to the bike’s bodywork. One is the design of the aforementioned headlamp, and gone is that black “shout” between the headlamps. The pictures also show transparent wind deflectors along the edge of the front fairing, although we are not sure if these are options or standard equipment.

9. Recycled materials

Honda says that they are using recycled materials called Durabio, a biomass plastic on various bodywork parts on the 2025 Honda X-ADV. The luggage box and seat base are made from recycled Honda automobile bumpers, while recycled plastic is used for panels and covers.

Lastly, there are four colours to choose from: Matte Gold Finch Yellow for the Special Edition and three shades of grey for standard models. The price has not been revealed.

Honda X-ADV Generasi Baharu Dalam Pembangunan

Honda memperkenalkan X-ADV sebagai jentera konsep pada 2015 dan ketika itu ramai yang mempersoal tindakan pengeluar Jepun itu dalam menghasilkan sebuah ‘skuter adventure’.

Bagaimanapun, beberapa tahun selepas itu, X-ADV telah pun dilahirkan dan skuter tersebut telah pun memasuki generasi kedua yang diperkenalkan pada 2021.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, Honda disahkan sedang membangunkan X-ADV generasi baharu berdasarkan paten yang difailkand di Jepun.

Melihat kepada lakaran paten yang dikongsikan itu, jelas X-ADV akan datang itu bakal tampil dengan reka bentuk dan susun atur serba baharu.

Pertamanya, bahagian lampu depan dan belakang akan tampil berbeza berbanding generasi pertama dan kedua. Di bahagian depan, lampu jenis memanjang yang mengisi bahagian sisi kini dipindahkan ke bawah dengan bentuk melintang. Terdapat tiga lampu LED mengisi setiap bahagian lampu utama tersebut.

Posisi ‘Daytime Running Light’ juga berbeza berbanding sebelum ini.

Sementara itu, bahagian belakang juga berbeza dengan ekzos kini berada di bawah tempat duduk belakang berbanding sisi seperti sebelum ini. Perubahan posisi ekzos secara tak langsung memperbaiki jarak kelegaan tanah (ground clearance) di samping membenarkan ruang yang lebih luas bagi memuatkan ‘catalytic converter’ dalam usaha mencapai standard emisi yang semakin ketat.

Selain itu, kedudukan baharu ekzos itu juga memudahkan pemasangan ‘panniers’ yang lebih besar.

Buat masa ini tiada pengumuman rasmi dari pihak Honda bila generasi baharu Honda X-ADV ini akan diperkenalkan namun kami tidak terkejut seandainya pameran motosikal EICMA di Milan hujung tahun ini menjadi pilihan Honda bagi membuat pendedahan.

Honda enthusiasts and adventure seekers, get ready for a thrilling update! Honda is set to unleash the 2024 X-ADV 750 adventure scooter in four exciting new color schemes, aimed at keeping things fresh and vibrant for riders who crave both style and performance.

With a robust 745cc displacement, the X-ADV 750 combines power, versatility, and innovation for a truly exceptional riding experience.

While the model received color updates in 2021 and 2022, Honda is not slowing down in its quest to impress riders. The 2024 X-ADV model promises to be a head-turner with its two exclusive “special editions” in gray and red, showcasing additional decals that elevate the scooter’s aesthetics to a whole new level. Joining these striking specials are two captivating standard color options – Matte Ballistic Black Metallic and Paco Blue.

Red, black, gray, and blue – these four exhilarating shades promise to captivate riders and bystanders alike, reminiscent of the successful color treatment found on the Forza 750. The release of these new hues is expected to happen soon, fueling anticipation among Honda enthusiasts worldwide.

However, Honda is not just focusing on appearances alone. The 2024 X-ADV will maintain its winning formula in terms of performance and features.

Riders can still expect the formidable 745cc parallel-twin engine, delivering an impressive 58.6hp and 69Nm. The X-ADV will retain its cutting-edge throttle-by-wire system, complemented by up to five distinct riding modes – Standard, Rain, Gravel, and Sport – each meticulously tuned to match various terrains and preferences. Additionally, a user-customizable mode will empower riders to tailor the scooter’s settings to their unique riding style.

Safety remains a top priority for Honda, as the X-ADV will continue to offer up to three levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), commonly known as Traction Control. This feature ensures optimal stability and control, especially during challenging road conditions.

Moreover, the X-ADV will retain its highly-acclaimed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), enhancing gear shifting efficiency and adaptability, seamlessly aligning with the selected riding mode.

While the focus is on introducing the captivating new color options, Honda fans will be delighted to know that the 2024 X-ADV will retain its solid frame, engine, chassis, and essential features. The changes might be subtle, but the overall experience of riding this adventure scooter promises to be nothing short of exhilarating.

Nak Beli Honda X-ADV 750? Tempoh Menunggu Kini Hampir 2 Tahun

Tidak dinafikan, masalah kekurangan bekalan semi-konduktor menjejaskan pengeluaran motosikal dan kereta dunia.

Jadi, tidak hairanlah jika penjual motosikal dan kereta memaklumkan kepada pelanggan bahawa tempoh menunggu memakan masa sehingga berbulan.

Bagaimanapun, kami diberitahu terdapat sebuah motosikal yang tempoh menunggunya mencecah sehingga dua tahun.

Demikian respon yang kami terima apabila menghubungi beberapa cawangan Honda Big Wing mengenai model Honda X-ADV 750.

Kisahnya, ada antara kami yang berminat dengan motosikal tersebut jadi langkah pertama adalah mengenal pasti tempoh menunggu.

Kami terkejut apabila diberitahu tempoh menunggu bagi Honda X-ADV 750 adalah sekitar setahun hingga dua tahun.

Ada juga cawangan Honda Big Wing yang memaklumkan kami bahawa mereka tidak lagi menerima tempahan bagi model skuter ADV itu.

Sebuah cawangan di Pulau Pinang pula berkata lebih 170 pembeli masih menanti untuk mendapatkan motosikal berkenaan.

Ini secara tidak langsung membuktikan Honda X-ADV 750 itu sememangnya cukup popular dikalangan peminat dua roda di Malaysia.

Persoalannya, sanggup atau tidak untuk menunggu selama itu bagi mendapatkan motosikal tersebut?

Kami juga pernah menguji kemampuan Honda X-ADV 750 (2021) sebelum ini dan sememangnya tidak dinafikan motosikal tersebut serba boleh dan praktikal.

Kami turut meninjau ke laman web e-perdagangan popular dan mendapati terdapat beberapa model terpakai X-ADV generasi pertama dijual pada harga sekitar RM60,000.

Two Year Waiting Period For Honda X-ADV in Malaysia!

It seems like the global semi-conductor shortage has not only affected cars, but also motorcycles.

These days it is common to wait a few months for your new car or bike, but to wait over a year? Wow!

But that is exactly the response we got when we contacted a few Honda Big Wing outlets in search of a Honda X-ADV.

A member of our team was poking around to see how long it would take to get a brand new Honda X-ADV, and to our surprise, the general answer was that the waiting period was at least a year! AT LEAST!

We called a few Honda Big Wing outlets in KL, Selangor and the one in Penang, and shockingly the general answer was that the waiting period is now at least a year and a half to two years.

One outlet even said that the waiting period is now two years and the booking list is closed and they are no longer accepting any more bookings for the X-ADV.

An outlet in Penang said that it has over 170 people in its waiting list waiting to get their Honda X-ADV delivered.

Why would anyone wait more than a few months for a new motorcycle is beyond us when there are so many options out there, and there’s no telling if a better bike may become available in the next few months.

The global semi-conductor issue has truly affected all industries, and there is no telling when it will end.

The Honda X-ADV is undoubtedly popular, but is it worth waiting 2 years for?

But the good thing is, those that already own the Honda X-ADV can expect the second hand prices to go up!

Boon Siew Honda Announced New Colour Updates For 2022 X-ADV – RM67,799

The Honda X-ADV is still the most unique adventure motorcycle to date thanks to its combination of a typical scooter with ADV elements.

After the comprehensive update in 2021, Boon Siew Honda has announced a new colour option for the 2022 Honda X-ADV.

The Honda X-ADV now comes in Mat Ballistic Black Metallic and joins the already available Grand Prix Red and Pearl Deep Mud Grey colour scheme.

Nevertheless, the mechanics remain the same as the 2022 X-ADV continue to make 57hp @ 6,750rpm and 69Nm @ 4,750rpm.

The power delivery is further optimized with reworked gear ratios via its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and retuned Honda Selectable Torque Control settings. A 3kg weight reduction also helps greatly in this department.

In terms of design, the new X-ADV presents a more rugged appearance with modern up-to-date features like its dual LED daytime-running lights leading the way. A new front windscreen was also added for better weather protection as well as better storage capacity thanks to a bigger 22-litre under-seat storage and a 1.2-litre glovebox compartment (with a USB charging port).

Like the 2021 CB1000R, the 2021 X-ADV also features a new 5-inch TFT screen that is enhanced with a Honda Smartphone Voice Control system. This allows the rider to control calls, navigation, and music via the handlebar controls and voice command (if you’re able to connect a Bluetooth helmet headset).

All-New 2021 Honda X-ADV Now Available In Malaysia – RM67,799

Four months after Honda revealed the new generation 2021 X-ADV in Europe, the adventure scooter is now available in Malaysia at the price of RM67,799.

If you thought that the previous Honda X-ADV is impressive, wait until you feast your eyes on the 2021 Honda X-ADV.

Out of all the newly-launched models, the 2021 X-ADV receives the most updates from redesigned looks, increased firepower, and upgraded riding technologies.

In terms of design, the new X-ADV presents a more rugged appearance with modern up-to-date features like its dual LED daytime-running lights leading the way. A new front windscreen was also added for better weather protection as well as better storage capacity thanks to a bigger 22-litre under seat storage and a 1.2-litre glovebox compartment (with USB charging port).

Its 745cc parallel-twin DOHC engine now produces around 58hp at 6,750rpm and 69Nm torque at 4,750rpm (4hp & 1Nm more compared to the previous-gen). This was done thanks to a new throttle-by-wire system and engine tuning.

This resulted in a smoother and more powerful power delivery, which is also optimized further with reworked gear ratios via its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and retuned Honda Selectable Torque Control settings. A 3kg weight reduction also helps greatly in this department.

Like the 2021 CB1000R, the 2021 X-ADV also features a new 5-inch TFT screen that is enhanced with Honda Smartphone Voice Control system. This allows the rider to control calls, navigation, and music via the handlebar controls and voice command (if you’re able to connect a Bluetooth helmet headset).

Kymco to release a Honda X-ADV challenger?

The world of dual-purpose adventure scooter is dominated by the one and only Honda X-ADV. That title is currently unchallenged (and even more so with the 2021 model), but Kymco has something up its sleeves to bring the fight to the world’s biggest motorcycle manufacturer.
