[moto] This feature of the Honda X-ADV is rarely found in motorbikes in its class

[luminox™-]

The choice of dual purpose motorcycles is quite diverse. Interestingly, besides the motorbike with a clutch, there are already players from the automatic segment. Yep, Honda X-ADV dual purpose scooter. The appearance is evocative. Revolutionary designs are rarely found in other products. That's the first capital. Then he is also equipped with a large, powerful engine combined with a dual clutch automatic transmission. For now, those of you who are interested can make up for it at a price of IDR 450 million OTR Jakarta. Many don't know about the advanced features it has. In fact, only he has. Anything?

Spoke Adjustable Inverted Fork
The rim used by the X-ADV spokewheels model or commonly known as the radius. Interestingly, using tubeless tires. The spoke holes are placed on the rim of the wheel frame. Then the valve hole is L-shaped to facilitate the filling process. The specifications of the handsome legs use a 17-inch ring for the front and use 120/70 round rubber. Behind 15 inches with 160/60 settings.

 

Adjustable Wind Screen
The angle and position of the X-ADV windscreen can be adjusted in 5 modes. The lowest position provides better visibility, while the highest position provides protection against wind, suitable for long journeys. The setup is fairly easy, just press and pull the windscreen lock lever, then turn the knob to the desired level. The components will automatically adjust.

 

2-channel ABS
As a super expensive scooter, the safety features of the Honda X-ADV must be complete. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is definitely there to prevent tire slippage during emergency braking, both on dry and wet roads. So that the maximum system is used in the form of 2-channel. That is, it is available on the front and rear wheels. Unlike the 1-channel which is only on the front wheels.

 

Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC)
HSTC is a powerful feature that has 3 options: Level 2, 1 and Off. Its function is to maintain the stability of the motor when maneuvering and prevent unwanted incidents. This device utilizes a wheel speed sensor which is also used by ABS. The way it works is simple, the slip-behind ratio is read, if it exceeds the set value, the HTSC automatically reduces the fuel supply, so that the engine torque decreases.

 

G (Gravel) Switch
G Switch is very suitable for use when bulldozing off-road roads. When active, the torque from the engine is transmitted directly, so that the wheel rotation becomes faster and is able to provide a steady and responsive grip. If you go through dirt roads, the pleasure of driving can be increased, because you can make the rear tires slip or do the sliding. The motor can also get out of the corner faster. This technology can also be used on asphalt roads, but the risk is quite high if the driver is not skilled.

 

Have an incline and descent detector
When facing sharp inclines or drops, the X-ADV can ensure the motor runs smoothly and safely. That's thanks to the incline and descent detection tour that works when the automatic transmission. When the motor climbs, the system automatically selects a lower gear to provide sufficient driving force. Likewise, when it goes down, the engine brake is optimized by shifting the transmission gear.

 

 

Technical specifications
X-ADV has two types, standard and lowdown. Astra Honda Motor chose the standard for the Indonesian market. This variant is the same as marketed in Europe. While lowdowns can be found in several countries such as Taiwan, Korea, Thailand and Malaysia.The difference lies in the dimensions. The standard type is 15 mm longer and 30 mm higher than the lowdown. While the width is the same. Then the wheelbase extends 10 mm and the most obvious is its ground clearance. Lowdown is only 135 mm, while the standard reaches 162 mm. The weight is the same, 238 kg. This is due to shorter travel and fork tube lengths at lowdown.Mechanical heart, 2-cylinder 745 cc DOHC PGM-Fi liquid-cooled. The engine can provide 54 hp at 6,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 68 Nm at 4,750 rpm. The power supply, 6-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) uses a chain to drive the wheels. The transmission can be operated manually or automatically.Two driving modes are available, Drive (D) and Sport (S). Specifically for Sport mode, it is divided into two options: Sport 1 and Sport 2. Another performance supporter, upside down 41 mm adjustable front suspension. While behind the pro-link monoshock which can also be adjusted as many as 10 settings. Deceleration is handled by disc brakes at each wheel. Hydraulic dual front discs are 296 mm, while behind a single disc is 240 mm.From the dimensions, the X-ADV is not too big. The size is 2,245 x 910 x 1,375 mm (LxWxH) with a wheelbase of 1,590 mm. The seat height is 820 mm and the ground clearance is 162 mm. That size still feels right for the average height of Indonesians and the distance under it is safe to bulldoze various terrains. (Odi / Raju)
