Honda continues its product offensive with the upcoming 2025 XL750 Transalp. This model features a revised engine, updated suspension, a fresh look, and a new TFT console, alongside other upgrades. The 755cc engine is tweaked to deliver improved performance in the lower and mid-range, attributed to changes in the air intake system. Honda has also focused on improving handling and comfort through damping adjustments. The changes add a small amount of weight, with the bike now weighing 210kg.
Suzuki has recently released the 800DE in India, with prices mirroring the 2024 model.

It is powered by a 776cc parallel-twin engine that produces 83 hp and 78 Nm of torque, linked to an electronic throttle, a bi-directional quick shifter, and a 6-speed gearbox, complete with a Low RPM Assist and Suzuki Easy Start system.
