2026 Honda Transalp E Clutch

Comfort and Convenience

• EXTRA COMFORTABLE SEAT: On a bike like this, you’ll probably want to extend your adventures and take some longer trips. That’s why we gave it a seat with a shape that’s both supportive enough for aggressive cornering and comfortable enough for high mileage.
• LARGE FUEL TANK: It features a 4.4-gallon fuel tank, providing a great balance of long-range and reduced weight, especially when paired with our super-efficient engine.
• STANDARD REAR CARRIER: The bike comes with a standard rear carrier that integrates with passenger handholds. If you’re planning a long trip, you’ll need to bring some gear along.
• USB-C PORT: The weather-protected USB-C connection located under the passenger seat lets you charge your devices on the go.

Engineering

• HONDA E-CLUTCH: Honda’s E-Clutch is the best of both worlds. First, it lets you shift with your left foot without needing the handlebar-mounted clutch. Second, you can still use it as a conventional clutch, but it also acts as a quick-shifter, enabling clutchless, full-throttle gear changes up and down for riders who crave performance. It also helps contribute to your peace of mind in all riding conditions.
• RIDE MODES: With five riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a custom setting), you can choose various levels of power delivery, engine braking, and ABS intervention, or in the two User modes even custom-set your own. Switching between modes is easy.
• HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC): Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) gives you the appropriate level of performance for everything from dirt to gravel to all kinds of pavement. You can even customize the settings in the Transalp’s two User modes.
• GEAR DRIVEN COUNTERBALANCER: Our counterbalancer design drives directly off the crank’s primary gear, eliminating the need for an additional gear. This reduces weight and complexity, resulting in a more efficient and compact engine design.
• COMPACT WATER PUMP: Here’s another example of superior Honda design: The water pump tucks inside the engine alternator cover rather than bolting on in a more vulnerable position, reducing both size and weight.
• 270-DEGREE-PHASE CRANK: Phasing this bike’s crank at 270 degrees gives you a unique, smooth power delivery that’s easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.

Handling

• SPOKED WHEELS: Off-road bikes use wire wheels with traditional spokes for better performance on dirt. The 21-inch wheel on the front and the 18-inch rear wheel sizes offer a wide range of tire options for different terrain.
• LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION: With its long-travel front suspension, the inverted Showa® SFF-CA fork provides excellent on- and off-road handling.
• PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: Our patented rising-rate Pro-Link®?rear suspension with a Showa® shock and 7.5 inches of travel offer the perfect balance of good pavement handling and solid off-pavement performance.
• DISC BRAKES WITH ABS: Dual-front and single-rear disc brakes provide ample stopping power. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is linked to riding modes, and rear-wheel ABS can be turned off for riding in the dirt.
• LOW CG, COMPACT MASS: By locating heavy components as close to the bike’s center of gravity as possible and using a compact engine, this bike provides a superior platform for excellent handling.
• 42-DEGREE STEERING LOCK: A generous 42 degrees of left and right steering lock provide excellent maneuverability on tight trails. This is one of the reasons this bike feels so much more nimble than many of the other adventure bikes out there.
• AMPLE GROUND CLEARANCE: With 7.7 inches of ground clearance, it perfectly balances off-pavement capability and highway use. For hard-core dirt riding, the skid plate now comes standard.

Performance

• UNICAM® ENGINE DESIGN: Our Honda-exclusive Unicam®?engine design, just like our Africa Twin and CRF450R, provides a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement and superior performance. It’s the perfect combination of form and function.
• 755CC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: The engine on this bike is based on the Honda CB750 Hornet. It’s a narrow parallel-twin design that delivers torque throughout the rev range. More power on low revs, easy cruising on the open road.
• VORTEX AIR AIRTAKE: By speeding up intake-charge airspeed at the critical low- and mid-engine speeds from 3000 to 8000 rpm, you get better throttle response and acceleration.
• HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION: The engine has a high-pressure fuel injection system pressurized to 65 PSI, enhancing combustion and throttle characteristics for better throttle response in technical terrain at lower and mid-rpm ranges.
• FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION: For 2026, both the front and rear suspension are fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping. The change lets you fine-tune your ride, and makes this great all-around bike even more versatile.

Style

• RALLY-TYPE FAIRING: This bike has a rich history of being an exceptional long-distance machine. To enhance its capabilities, we equipped it with a lightweight, high-quality fairing that balances wind and weather protection.
• SKID PLATE: For 2026, a skid plate is standard equipment and offers generous coverage, letting you explore even more rugged terrain with peace of mind.

Technology

• TFT DISPLAY: It features a 5.0-inch full-color LCD display with various options, and it shows important details like speed, fuel level, trip distance, gear position, and much more.
• SELF-CANCELLING TURN SIGNALS: This bike blends modern electronics with adventure motorcycling. It automatically turns off blinkers, ensuring you ride safely and confidently.
• HONDA ROADSYNC: Honda RoadSync connects your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth to the Honda RoadSync app. It allows for hands-free navigation, music playback, as well as the ability to check local forecasts at your destination. Android phones can link for hands-free calling and texting.
