Honda has launched the 2026 Transalp XL750 in India at ₹13.20 lakh. It's equipped with the buzzed-about E-Clutch, which automates clutch operation for starts and low-speed riding, further enhancing the ease of use of this middleweight adventure bike.
The Transalp with E-Clutch is what I'm most excited about here. The design philosophy of automating clutch operation while still keeping the lever is irresistible. It should transform everyday rideability in ways a spec sheet alone can't convey. Honda bringing this tech down to a middleweight ADV is a big step.

E-Clutch's benefits seem like they'd really shine at low-speed off-road riding — an interesting feature to watch.
This looks set to compete at a price bracket well removed from the KTM 390 Adventure or local Bajaj-based adventure bikes.
India's adventure market is genuinely gaining more options one class above the Himalayan 450.
This also feels like proof that a genuine mid-size adventure market is developing in India.
At this price bracket, given average income in India, this is clearly aimed at a fairly upper-tier buyer.
Still, if you factor in it's the price for high-performance electronics too, there's probably a decent number of buyers who'll accept it.
Standardizing E-Clutch just like the global spec — good to see they're not stripping features for the Indian market only.
₹13.20 lakh for the E-Clutch Transalp — a bold price for India's mid-size adventure market.
