HONDA REFRESHES X-ADV FOR 2027 WITH NEW COLOURS AND PREMIUM UPGRADES

Honda has announced updates to its unique X-ADV adventure scooter for 2027, introducing four new colour schemes while carrying over the extensive upgrades introduced for the previous model year.
The X-ADV retains its blend of adventure bike capability and maxi-scooter practicality, powered by a 745cc parallel-twin engine producing 43.1kW and 69Nm, paired with Honda ' s latest Dual Clutch Transmission( DCT). The updated DCT offers smoother low-speed operation, while four riding modes, Throttle By Wire and Honda Selectable Torque Control continue to enhance on- and off-road versatility.
Technology remains a strong focus, with standard cruise control, a five-inch TFT display featuring Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, a 22-litre under-seat storage compartment with USB-C charging, and keyless operation all included as standard.
Honda has also continued its push towards more sustainable manufacturing by using biomass-based Durabio™ plastic in the fairing and windscreen, alongside other recycled materials to reduce CO₂ emissions during production.
The 2027 X-ADV will be available in three new standard colours— Mat Warm Ash Metallic, Pearl Deep Mud Gray and Mat Ballistic Black Metallic— alongside a new Special Edition in Grand Prix Red featuring bold silver graphics.
Since its launch in 2017, the X-ADV has carved out a niche of its own, with nearly 60,000 units sold across Europe, where it remains one of Honda ' s best-selling motorcycles. TRAVERSE
