Honda X-ADV — Overview
India got exactly one shot at owning an adventure maxi-scooter - and Honda sold it for less than a year. The X-ADV 750 arrived on May 21, 2025, priced at Rs11.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Gurugram), and was discontinued by April 2026 after its allocated units sold out. If you're reading this, you're either hunting a remaining unit at a BigWing dealership, or deciding whether the on-road price of Rs15 lakh-plus in most cities is worth it for a machine in a class of its own.
The X-ADV is neither motorcycle nor conventional scooter. Under the body panels sits a 745cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin - the same engine family that powers the NC750X - making 57.79 bhp and 69 Nm, channelled through Honda's 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Real adventure hardware backs it up: 41mm USD forks, wire-spoke wheels, a dedicated Gravel ride mode, and 165mm ground clearance. The seat hides 22 litres of storage, enough for a full-face helmet. For riders who want city convenience, NH44 cruising, and the ability to leave the tarmac on weekends, nothing else in India competes.
What We Like
- India's only adventure maxi-scooter - 745cc DCT with a genuine Gravel mode creates a unique category with no direct competition
- Smooth and effortless DCT with five ride modes (Standard, Sport, Rain, Gravel, User) adapts from Mumbai traffic to mountain gravel roads
- Touring-ready out of the box: 22-litre LED-lit underseat storage, cruise control, 5-inch TFT with Honda RoadSync, and USB-C charging
- Genuinely versatile - praised by owners for working as a daily city commuter, a highway tourer, and a mild off-road explorer
What Could Be Better
- Heavy at 237 kg - harder to manoeuvre in tight city traffic and low-speed parking than the price tag implies
- 13.2-litre fuel tank is too small for a machine marketed at tourers - about 370 km range limits back-to-back highway days
- Discontinued in India as of April 2026 - parts availability and authorised service support carry long-term uncertainty
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Honda X-ADV?
The Honda X-ADV 750 is the most interesting two-wheeler Honda India launched in years - a genuine adventure maxi-scooter unlike anything else available. On-road at Rs15 lakh-plus in most cities, it's priced for a very specific buyer: someone who does long highway trips, dabbles in off-road, and wants the convenience of a scooter. The 237 kg weight and short tank are real compromises, and the discontinuation makes long-term ownership a calculated risk. For the right rider, though, nothing else comes close.
