Honda launches X-ADV 750 adventure scooter in India at ₹11.90 lakh: 5 Things to know
Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) has officially launched the X-ADV 750 in India, priced at ₹ 11.90 lakh. The offering is a rugged, adventure-ready maxi-scooter. This comes nearly two years after the company secured the nameplate's patent in India. Bookings are now open at Honda's BigWing dealerships, with deliveries expected to commence from June.
Here are five key things to know about the new Honda X-ADV 750:
1. Inspired by Adventure Motorcycles
Blurring the line between a maxi-scooter and an adventure tourer, the X-ADV draws heavy inspiration from Honda's off-road capable motorcycles. It features an upright stance and muscular styling, aimed at offering both city comfort and off-road versatility — a unique proposition in the Indian scooter landscape.
2. Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine
At the heart of the X-ADV is a 745 cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. It delivers 54 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission — a setup similar to Honda's Africa Twin adventure bike. This engine-transmission combo brings motorcycle-grade performance to the scooter segment.
3. Loaded with Terrain-Focused Features
Designed for varying terrains, the scooter comes with dual-sport tyres, spoke wheels, knuckle guards, and a five-step adjustable windscreen. Riders also benefit from Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and a ride-by-wire throttle system, enabling four preset riding modes — Standard, Sport, Rain, and Gravel — as well as a fully customisable User mode.
4. Packed with Premium Tech
The X-ADV isn't just about performance. It boasts a five-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, smart key access, Honda Smartphone Voice Control system, and USB charging. Practicality is enhanced through a 22-litre under-seat storage, a 1.2-litre glovebox, a centre stand, and a comfortable step-up seat for long journeys.
5. Colours and Market Positioning
In India, the X-ADV 750 will be available in two colour options: Pearl Glare White and Graphite Black. With this launch, Honda joins the growing list of manufacturers tapping into India's budding premium scooter market, which has recently seen entries such as the Yamaha Aerox 155 and BMW C 400GT. The X-ADV stands out as an unconventional yet capable offering, aimed at enthusiasts seeking adventure without compromising on scooter practicality.

However, he did not name the set to launch on June 10, will become only the second Indian to travel to space after Rakesh Sharma and the first to visit the ISS. This mission not only marks India's return to human spaceflight after more than four decades but also rekindles memories of legendary conversations between astronauts and national RAKESH SHARMA SPOKE TO PM INDIRA GANDHIThe precedent for a phone call from space was set in 1984, when Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian in space, spoke directly with then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during his mission aboard the Soviet Soyuz a now-legendary exchange, Gandhi asked Sharma how India looked from space, to which he famously replied, 'Saare Jahan Se Achha' (better than the entire world).This conversation became a defining moment in Indian space history, inspiring generations and symbolising national Sharma later recalled, jokingly, that the phone call was easy as he was unable to see Indira Gandhi, and it was radio-based, which helped calm his nerves when talking to the prime one of the most memorable space-to-Earth calls occurred on July 20, 1969, when US President Richard Nixon spoke to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as they stood on the moon's words, delivered from the White House to the Sea of Tranquility, were broadcast to millions: 'This certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made from the White House'.The call, spanning nearly 240,000 miles, was all about the unifying power of space exploration and technological achievement at a time when the US and Russia were engaged in the Cold HISTORY REPEAT?While there is no official confirmation from the Prime Minister's Office yet of a scheduled call between Shukla and PM Modi, the symbolic significance would be a conversation would not only celebrate India's technological progress but also inspire a new generation, much like the exchanges with Indira Gandhi and Richard Nixon did decades Modi had earlier sent a letter to astronaut Sunita Williams, whose eight-day mission extended to eight months aboard the Space Station.

Astronaut Shukla's experiments on ISS of immense importance for future missions: Jitendra Singh
'It is a matter of pride for all Indians that Shubhanshu Shukla will be part of this international space mission. His role will be just as significant as anyone else involved,' the minister said. In an interview with PTI Videos, Singh said Shukla is set to travel to the ISS as part of Axiom Space mission next week and his role will be just as significant as of the other three astronauts participating in the commercial mission. New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will perform scientific experiments on the International Space Station that hold immense importance for future space missions, including the Gaganyaan project, Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said on Tuesday. Shukla is part of the Axiom-4 mission which is expected to lift off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, US, no earlier than June 8 and will spend 14 days onboard the International Space Station (ISS). 'While Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian astronaut to go to space, it was a Soviet mission with limited scope for conducting experiments since India's space technology was in its early stages. However, the situation today is different,' Singh said. Axiom-4 mission has lined up 60 experiments to be conducted by the four-member crew onboard the ISS, including seven planned by ISRO and five others that Shukla will participate in for NASA's human research programme. Union minister Singh said the experiments that Shukla will be conducting on the ISS are of immense importance for future missions – be it the Gaganyaan project or the Bharat Antariksh Station planned by India. Shukla will study physical, cognitive and physiological responses in space as well as the impact of utilizing continuous electronic displays in microgravity, an important aspect for future long-duration space missions, the minister said. Singh said Shukla's research will also focus on skeletal muscle dysfunction in space and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies to counter these effects. Shukla will carry out experiments on the revival, survival, and reproduction of extremophiles such as tardigrades – known for their resilience in extreme conditions. Besides Shukla, the mission pilot for the Axiom-4 mission, the other crew include Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary, marking both European nation's first travel to the ISS in history and the second government-sponsored human spaceflight mission in over 40 years.

Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's Launch To Space Station Postponed To June 10
Last Updated: The mission, part of Axiom Space's Ax-4 programme, was initially set for May 29 and later rescheduled to June 8. The launch of Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla to the International Space Station (ISS) has been postponed to June 10 due to ongoing pre-flight quarantine protocols and operational adjustments. The mission, part of Axiom Space's Ax-4 programme, was initially set for May 29 and later rescheduled to June 8 before being pushed back again. Shubhanshu Shukla, serving as the mission's pilot, will become the first Indian to travel to the ISS and the second Indian in space after Rakesh Sharma's 1984 flight. The Ax-4 crew includes mission commander Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut, and mission specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary—both representing their countries in space for the first time. The crew began a mandatory two-week health quarantine at Kennedy Space Center on May 25. The isolation protocol, standard for all crewed spaceflights, aims to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases to the ISS.
