Warna Edisi Khas untuk Honda X-ADV (2026)

Honda X-ADV (2026) akan hadir dengan satu warna edisi khas. Honda juga telah mengumumkan warna baharu untuk Forza 750, tetapi kami akan tumpukan perhatian kepada X-ADV kerana Forza 750 sudah tidak lagi dijual di Malaysia.

X-ADV akan mendapat warna edisi khas Matt Pearl Glare White dengan grafik merah dan biru yang terinspirasi dari motosikal adventure Honda Africa Twin dan Transalp. Warna ini menyertai pilihan warna sedia ada seperti Graphite Black, Matt Deep Mud Gray, dan Pearl Glare White.

Dari segi mekanikal, X-ADV kekal tidak berubah—itu bukanlah satu perkara buruk. Mengekalkan spesifikasi yang sambil mengemas kini atau menggantinya beberapa tahun kemudian membolehkan sesuatu modelmotosikal matang daripada segi ketersediaan alat ganti, kemudahan penyelenggaraan, dan nilai jual semula.

Enjinnya masih menggunakan 745cc parallel-twin yang berkuasa, dipadankan dengan Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) yang telah dikemas kini sejak model MY2025. Sistem suspensi kekal dengan fork 41mm upside-down di depan dan sistem suspensi Honda Pro-Link di belakang. Brek depan kekal menggunakan dua cakera dengan kaliper empat piston.

Honda juga mempromosikan kelestarian dengan X-ADV. Bahagian badan (termasuk Forza 750) menggunakan plastik kitar semula dan berasaskan biojisim seperti Durabio, bahan berasaskan tumbuhan yang tidak memerlukan cat, sekaligus mengurangkan jejak alam sekitar semasa pengeluaran. Ini adalah sebahagian daripada usaha Honda untuk menggunakan hanya bahan mampan menjelang 2050.

Special Edition Colour for 2026 Honda X-ADV

There will be a new special edition colour for the 2026 Honda X-ADV. Honda had also announced new colours for the Forza 750, but we shall focus on the X-ADV as the Forza 750 is not available in Malaysia anymore.

The X-ADV will receive a new Matt Pearl Glare White special edition accented with red and blue graphics inspired by the Honda Africa Twin and Transalp adventure bikes. It joins the existing Graphite Black, Matt Deep Mud Gray, and Pearl Glare White in the lineup.

Mechanically, the X-ADV remains unchanged – which is not necessarily a bad thing. Keeping things the same and updating or replacing them years later allows for the model to mature in terms of parts availability, serviceability, and resale value.

The engine is the torquey 745cc parallel-twin, paired with a Dual Clutch Transmission that was updated since the MY2025 model. Suspension remains the 41mm upside-down forks up front, and a Honda Pro-Link setup at the back. Front brakes are dual discs gripped by four-piston calipers.

Honda is also promoting sustainability with the X-ADV. The bodywork (the Forza 750’s, too) uses recycled and biomass-based plastics like Durabio, a plant-based material that doesn’t require paint thereby reducing the environmental footprint during production. It is part of Honda’s broader push to use only sustainable materials by 2050.

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!

A Honda X-Adv had won in the 2019 Gibraltar Race ahead of other dual-purpose bikes.

Renato Zocchi steered the X-Adv to the Class 2 victory in the especially tough 7,000-km rally through Europe. His class win also puts him as seventh overall in the event, beating our scores of purpose-built dirtbikes and adventure-tourers.

Class 2 is designated to motorcycles between 601 to 950cc, hence includes some menacing middleweight adventure bikes such as the KTM 790 Adventure R, KTM 690 Enduro, KTM 950 Super Enduro, Husqvarna 701 Enduro, BMW F 800 GS Adventure and many more.

While the X-Adv was specially prepared for the race, the bike was reliable. Competitors faced various terrains including dirt roads, rocky mule tracks, river crossings, mud and grass. Zocchi kept the DCT (dual clutch transmission) and G (gravel) mode. The suspension was modified to provide extra wheel travel and ground clearance. The footboards remained in place.

The route covered several countries, taking the riders from the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean coast. It began in Gdansk, Poland, passed through the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, France and finally ending at the Cape Finiterre Lighthouse in Spain.

The results were surprising, of course but wait, you’ll get to witness a Honda X-Adv taking part in the GIVI Rimba Raid Janda Baik 2019 from 27^th to 28^th July!

VIDEO: Marc Marquez Makes Music on the Honda X-Adv

Marc Marquez takes a spin on the Honda X-Adv while DJ Roger Wid records all the sounds.
The sounds were then turned into a techno song.
The Honda X-Adv became Europe’s best-selling motorcycle.

Just as Suzuki released the video of ex-GP rider Nobuatsu Aoki taking the new Suzuki Katana out for a spin, now Honda has MotoGP champion, Marc Marquez takes a ride on the Honda X-Adv and gets the sounds turned into music by DJ Roger Wid.

Every of Marquez’s move was recorded and turned into music, including zipping up his jacket, unlocking the bike, opening the seat to retrieve his signature Shoei helmet, flipping up the passenger footpegs.

The rider then proceeded to whip the bike into a smoky rolling burnout while it pirouettes around him, while sound technicians hold the microphones to the action.

At the end, all those sounds you and I have grown so familiar with on a daily basis were turned into techno music by the said DJ.

The X-Adv is powered by the 745cc twin-cylinder engine which is also fitted to the Honda NC750X. However, the X-Adv uses Honda’s proprietary Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The DCT is actually a manual gearbox without a clutch lever.

We’ve tested and reviewed the bike months ago and found it entertaining, although on the more expensive side. But here’s a bit of trivia, the Honda X-Adv became Europe’s best-selling motorcycle, even dethroning the might BMW R 1200 GS.

Boon Siew Honda Introduces New Colour for 2019 Honda X-ADV

Boon Siew Honda rolled out a new colour for the 2019 Honda X-ADV.
The X-ADV is a cross-platform motorcycle.
It features a 750cc engine and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

Boon Siew Honda introduced a new colour for the 2019 Honda X-ADV line-up called Matt Moonstone Silver Metallic. It complements the present Grand Prix Red and Matt Bullet Silver colours.

The Honda X-ADV is a groundbreaking cross-platform motorcycle. It incorporates a number of features that are only found in individual motorcycles in the body of a scooter.

First up, the liquid-cooled, 745cc engine produces 54 bhp (40.3 kW) and 68 Nm of torque. It means that the bike isn’t a run-of-the-mill scooter.

Secondly, it is equipped with Honda’s proprietary Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The DCT is a 6-speed manual gearbox but can be operated in Drive and Sport full-automatic modes or in fully manual model.

Thirdly, the X-ADV has a Gravel model for off-road riding, hence the knobby tyres. There’s no other scooter which boasts such capability. The front wheel is a 17-inch unit for tackling the rough.

With such engine power and capabilities, the Honda X-ADV makes for both a practical daily commuter and long-distance tourer. We have ridden the bike all the way to Kuantan and back in comfort. The adjustable windscreen it tall in its highest adjustment, keeping windblast off the rider’s torso.

The underseat storage compartment is large and supplemented by cubby holes up front.

The new colour is available from December 2019 onwards at Honda Big Wing Dealers. The Honda X-ADV is priced from RM 63,229 for standard colours and from RM 65,499 for special colours.
