Being the world’s largest bikemaker (both in terms of sales and money), Honda has its toes in nearly all motorcycle segments. In some cases, it even has a variety of bikes for all kinds of riders, and the adventure bike space is a prime example. From hardcore dual-sport-based machines to continent-carving behemoths, the Tokyo-based factory spoils you with five different ADVs in 2026. These start from just under $6,500, peaking at over $18,000. Here’s a lowdown. Honda CRF300L Rally Price: $6,499 HondaOff-road-specific ADVs take heavy inspiration from dual-sport bikes to promise extreme dirt road abilities. The updated CRF300L Rally is a key example of that. It’s based heavily on the CRF300L dual-sport, but brings fairings and a windscreen to establish itself as a somewhat adventure bike. Add to that the bigger tank, and you have a more do-it-all machine than the otherwise stripped-back dual-sport. HondaAt its heart lies Honda’s proven 286cc, single-cylinder engine–something we’ve seen on the CBR300R and CB300R previously. It produces about 27 ponies and 20 pound-feet, all of which is well under 10,000 RPM. That, along with the single-cylinder layout, should help keep things predictable in tricky terrain. Oh, and you can expect brilliant fuel efficiency, too. HondaWhile at it, you’ll appreciate the long-travel suspension. The setup comprises 43 mm USD forks up top and a monoshock at the rear, armed with 10.2 inches of travel. That joins hands with the 21/18-inch spoke wheel setup to promise 10.9 inches of ground clearance. Understandably, the seat height is quite high at 35.2 inches. Honda NX500 Price: $6,899 HondaWhile the CRF will get you the utmost off-road abilities, the NX500 is your answer for adventure-touring duties. So you can technically take it touring on the freeway, hit not-so-extreme dirt roads, and even commute to the office daily. The underpinnings make those intentions quite clear as well. It has USD forks and a monoshock with 5.9 and 5.3 inches of travel, respectively. This is topped with a steel tubular chassis and a 19/17-inch alloy wheel combination, where the latter wears dual-purpose tires. Honda PowersportsThe do-it-all nature is further amplified thanks to the potent engine. It’s a 471cc, parallel-twin setup with a rather unorthodox near-square construction (67 mm bore and 66.8 mm stroke). That helps it promise peppy power delivery all over the rev range, including a quick-revving nature. As for numbers, they are for the course at about 47 horsepower and 32 pound-feet. HondaLastly, there’s the price. This used to be one of the pricier bikes in the 450-500cc ADV space, but 2026 brings a refreshing price cut of $500. At its new MSRP, the NX is right up there with its European and Japanese rivals value-wise. There’s a high chance of Honda adding the E-Clutch tech to the mix (it’s already present in Europe), which will further sweeten the pot. Honda XL750 Transalp Price: $10,199 HondaIn the Japanese midweight ADV segment, the Honda XL750 Transalp is the newest name. Yet, it has been one of the most bang-for-buck and well-balanced examples in the segment. It’s as if Honda took its own sweet time to create a rival for the Yamaha Tenere and Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, but it ensured it did things right. That starts with the price, which has hovered in the $10,000 ballpark since its inception. Thus, it undercuts its direct rivals by a fair bit. HondaAt the same time, the performance is in a different league. The 755cc, parallel-twin engine promises 90 horsepower, which is considerably higher than both of its Japanese rivals. 2026 also brings the class-defining E-Clutch tech here. So you can shift up or down and even roll off from and to a standstill without ever using the clutch. It adds a layer of practicality to the already impressive package. HondaFinally, the Transalp justifies the ADV tag via its underpinnings. Showa SFF-CA upside-down forks are present up top, paired with a 21-inch spoke wheel. At the rear, there’s a monoshock and an 18-inch spoke wheel. Both ends have well over seven inches of travel and adjustability to help you fine-tune the riding dynamics. Tying all that together is a new steel frame, which is four pounds lighter than the NX500’s setup. Honda Africa Twin Price: $15,199 HondaWhat you’re looking at is one of the most well-rounded over-1000cc adventure bikes in the world. The Africa Twin does that by getting the basics right rather than chasing class-leading performance or top-drawer features. The first thing that proves that is the engine. It’s a really tractable 1,084cc, parallel-twin powerhouse, complete with a 270-degree crankshaft. That spreads all of its 100 horsepower and 82 pound-feet across the rev range. Quick overtakes, kicking the rear out, cruising around the city–it will do everything wholeheartedly. Honda GlobalThen, there’s the underpinnings. The double-cradle steel chassis and 21/18-inch spoke wheel combination give the Africa Twin the ability to take on tough roads with ease. The Showa suspension plays the perfect sidekick here, courtesy of 9.1 inches of front travel and 8.7 inches of rear travel. All that, plus the steel swingarm, helps keep the weight at 510 pounds wet. Just 40 pounds more than the middleweight Transalp!HondaLast but not least is the option of having it with the dual-clutch transmission. That adds a few hundred dollars to the MSRP, but it brings a lot of convenience to the party. The DCT does the shifting for you, and you can choose between two modes depending on your riding style (whether you want it to hold gears longer or short-shift). An MT mode is present, too, which lets you take control via the triggers on the left side handlebar. In 2026, the DCT is said to be updated for better control and precision. Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports Price: $17,799 Honda PowersportsThe Adventure Sports is essentially the Africa Twin that wants to cross continents. It is biased towards touring, thanks to a few notable changes. Chief among them is the Showa EERA electronic suspension. It has less travel than the base Africa Twin, but gets a handful of electronic modes. These adjust suspension settings on the fly, based on information from the ECU, six-axis IMU, and other sensors. A manual mode lets you set things to your preference as well. Honda PowersportsAlong with this, the 21-inch wheel has made way for a 19-inch setup to improve on-road behavior while still allowing good off-road abilities. This helps lower the seat height to 33.7 inches, which can be further lowered to 32.9 inches in the low position. On the go, you’ll also appreciate the gigantic 6.6-gallon fuel tank–1.6 up from the base bike. That should equate to a theoretical range of almost 320 miles on a single tank.HondaMeanwhile, there are no mechanical changes in terms of the engine. The parallel-twin engine has the same output and the same transmission options. But the DCT should work better here, as it also ties up with the electronic suspension. So if the transmission shifts aggressively, the electronic suspension will adjust itself to reduce nose-dive or wheelies. Source: Honda Powerports
