For the power unit, a water-cooled, 4-stroke, OHC, 4-valve in-line 2-cylinder 745cc engine is combined with a DCT that combines the operability of an automatic transmission with the excellent transmission efficiency of a manual transmission at a high level with special settings. rice field. On suburban winding roads with many ups and downs and corners, gear shift control that expands the range of low gear selection is adopted in D mode and S mode, realizing a sporty riding feel and optimizing tire size and drive chain drive parts. We have made it possible to drive agilely in urban areas.

2018 Model Honda X-ADV

Body colour: Candy Chromosphere Red.

In this specification change, we have adopted Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)*1, which allows you to select two stages of torque control and an OFF state that does not require torque control depending on the rider's preference. By controlling the amount of fuel injection and optimizing engine torque when rear wheel slip is detected, the driving force of the rear wheels is suppressed, contributing to driving in accordance with the situation. In addition, by adopting a new G switch that changes clutch control so that changes in driving force due to accelerator operation are transmitted directly to the rear wheels, machine controllability during off-road driving is improved. For the coloring, Candy Chromosphere Red is newly added to the conventional Digital Silver Metallic, making it a total of two color variations.
