I love machines that don’t fit into categories and the 2026 Honda X-ADV is exactly that. It’s not just a scooter. It’s not just an adventure bike. It’s something in between, a wild hybrid that dares you to go off the beaten path and then takes you home in comfort. And now it’s been updated with a new look that I couldn’t help but notice: the Matte Pearl Glare White Tricolour.

There’s something cool about that Tricolour. It’s like a nod to Honda’s racing heritage but dressed up for urban adventures. It’s bold, clean and turns heads at every stop light. Alongside this new star, Honda has also added two other options: Matte Deep Mud Gray and Graphite Black. Each one highlights the bike’s SUV-like stance in its own way.

But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just about the looks.

Underneath the 2026 Honda X-ADV still has the same 745cc parallel-twin engine that puts out 58 hp and 69 Nm of torque. And if you’ve ever twisted the throttle on this thing you’ll know it doesn’t just move it glides. The Dual Clutch Transmission makes city traffic a breeze and on open roads it’s just fun.

There’s substance here too. Selectable ride modes, TFT dash with smartphone sync, keyless start and that adjustable windscreen that’s saved me from many a gust. It’s the kind of bike that makes you want to take the long way home or not go home at all.
