HMSI has launched the all-new X-ADV in India at Rs 11.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The adventure scooter features a hybrid design that fuses the robustness of an adventure tourer with the streamlined aesthetics of a city commuter. Its front fascia carries a premium look, marked by sharp dual LED headlamps that give it a contemporary edge. The integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) double as turn indicators, contributing to a refined yet assertive visual appeal. The seat has been redesigned to improve accessibility, offering better reach to the ground, while upgraded urethane padding enhances comfort over long rides. Under-seat storage is generous at 22 litres. The scooter is available in striking shades like Pearl Glare White and Graphite Black, highlighting its bold, adventurous styling.

Powering the X-ADV is a 745cc liquid-cooled, SOHC, 8-valve parallel-twin engine tuned for strong torque delivery in the low- and mid-range.

This unit generates 57.8bhp at 6,750rpm and 69Nm at 4,750rpm, offering linear power delivery across different terrains. The engine is mated to Honda’s signature Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
The Honda X-ADV is underpinned by a durable tubular steel frame, purpose-built to handle diverse road surfaces with confidence. Up front, it features 41mm upside-down forks, while the rear gets a monoshock with adjustable spring preload to enhance ride quality. Its wire-spoked wheels – 17 inches at the front and 15 inches at the rear – are suitable for urban roads and light off-road paths. Braking is handled by dual 296mm discs with radial-mounted four-piston callipers at the front and a single 240mm disc with a single-piston calliper at the rear, all backed by dual-channel ABS for effective stopping performance.
The tech-laden X-ADV features a 5-inch full-colour TFT display that offers clear readouts and a range of configurable data. It integrates with the Honda RoadSync app, allowing riders to manage calls, messages, music, and navigation through voice commands or handlebar controls. A ride-by-wire throttle system enables four preset riding modes – Standard, Sport, Rain, and Gravel – each modifying throttle response, traction control, and engine braking.
