THE MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING. It's long been a legend in Europe--and now it's finally returning to North America. The new Honda Transalp is designed to expand your exploring horizons: around town, on the highway, in the mountains, on the unpaved, less-travelled roads. Sized right to balance comfort, maneuverability and compactness, it's also a showcase for one of our best engines ever, a new 755cc Unicam® parallel twin. Loaded with features like selectable riding modes and available with a wide range of accessories. Rally-bike-inspired aerodynamic bodywork offers just enough wind- and weather protection. Smooth. Tough. Agile and smart. It's the machine so many of us have dreamed of for so long--and now the dream has come true. FIVE RIDE MODES The Transalp features five separate riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and an additional rider-customizable setting. That lets you dial in not only power delivery, but engine braking and ABS intervention too, depending on the riding surface. Plus, switching between them is super easy. SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)  With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and the Transalp's selectable ride modes, you can choose a level which allows some rear-wheel spin--on gravel or dirt for instance--or pick a second level which reduces wheel spin, particularly on slippery roads. THROTTLE BY WIRE The Transalp features throttle-by-wire (TBW) technology. Light, precise, and proven, it's also the reason our engineers can build in the Transalp's five selectable riding modes.  UNICAM ENGINE DESIGN  Like our Africa Twin and CRF450R, our Honda-exclusive Unicam® engine design helps us give the Transalp a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement. The engine also benefits from superior performance, thanks to the entire cylinder-head layout. It's the best of both worlds!  755cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE The Transalp showcases a new engine that's absolutely at the top of its class. Based on the Honda Hornet from Europe, the parallel-twin design is narrow, and delivers torque everywhere from idle to redline. You'll have more grunt down low, and cruise easy on the open road.  SPOKED WHEELS  Real off-road bikes use wire wheels with traditional spokes for a good reason: They work way better in the dirt. And they also use a 21-inch wheel up front, just like the Transalp. The 18-inch rear wheel gives you an excellent selection of tires too, no matter what terrain you plan on riding. LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION  The Transalp doesn't just look like an adventure bike--it has the engineering, refinement, and features to back it up. Just check out the long-travel front suspension. The inverted Showa SFF-CA fork has huge 43mm tubes and 7.9 inches of travel--just what you want for great handling both on- and off-road.
