2024 Honda TRANSALP Matte Metallic Black

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.

Features May Include:

COMPACT WATER PUMP 

Here’s another example of superior Honda design: The Transalp’s water pump tucks inside the engine alternator cover, rather than bolting on in a more vulnerable position. That’s super smart, reducing both size and weight, and the pump remains accessible for service.

GEAR-DRIVEN COUNTERBALANCER

Counterbalancers help any bike—and especially twins like the Transalp—run smoother. But our engineers gave the Transalp an additional advantage: the engine drives the counterbalance off the crank’s existing primary gear. That eliminates the weight and complexity of an additional gear and helps keep the engine compact.

270-DEGREE-PHASE CRANK 

Most twins use a 180-degree crank. By phasing the Transalp’s at 270 degrees, you get a unique power delivery that’s easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging. 

FLS™ CLUTCH DISCS

Another example of Honda engineering you probably won’t see, but which results in a big benefit. By using oblique-layout friction material in the Transalp’s clutch discs, we’ve reduced clutch drag torque by 30 percent compared to earlier designs. That means a nimble shifting feel. Additionally, it lets us supply more oil to the clutch discs for better durability and performance.
