Honda’s X-ADV, the scooter that dares to be more, just got a serious upgrade for 2025. Since its 2017 debut, this adventure scooter has made waves—especially in Europe, where over 76,000 units have hit the road.
The Honda X-ADV for 2025 Looks Better Than Ever
I know the US hasn’t fully embraced maxi-scooters, (which is why you won’t find this bike on US shores unless you go with the much smaller Honda ADV160), but they’re an important part of the market and the Honda X-ADV continues to get better.
So, what’s new? Honda has added creature comforts like cruise control and a tool-free adjustable windscreen, making it more practical than ever. The seat’s been reshaped for easier mounting, with more padding to keep you comfy, and Honda’s smartly tweaked the storage setup—because who doesn’t need more space on the go?
Under the hood, the X-ADV’s automatic DCT transmission got a refresh too. With smoother low-speed shifts and customizable gear settings, you can now fine-tune your ride across four driving modes—Standard, Sport, Gravel, and Rain. And let’s not forget the bodywork: Honda’s taken an origami-like approach to the design, blending sharp aesthetics with sustainability through recycled materials.
For night rides, new LED headlights with daytime running lights are your guide, while a sleek 5-inch TFT dash offers improved visibility and smartphone connectivity. Honda’s Smart Key system handles everything from ignition to locking the optional Smart Top Box, adding convenience with a touch of class.
Need more? There’s a buffet of accessory packs, from rugged Adventure kits to the refined Style Pack. All in all, the 2025 X-ADV is a scooter ready for any road—or lack thereof.
