Transalp Adventure

Transalp Adventure

Date: 2012-07-04
Dynamic new Adventure Sports styling really sets the pace for the all-new 2008 XL700V Transalp. Powered by a new fuel-injected V-twin engine that carries it down the road with impressive power and confident cruising speed, the new Transalp reasserts its position as South Africa's most versatile midsized motorcycle.

Featuring larger displacement, new PGM-FI fuel injection and freer flowing four-valve heads, this new engine incorporates a host of upgraded and redesigned components to improve performance, environmental compatibility and riding ease with sharper throttle response.

The new Transalp now rolls on a lightweight 19" wirespoked, aluminum-rimmed front wheel with a wider profile 100/90 tyre than the 21" wheel it replaces. This smaller wheel diameter provides easier in-town riding control and smoother handling at highway speeds. A wider new 130/80 radial rear tyre replaces the bias ply tyre mounted on the Transalp's previous edition for more reassuring riding ease, especially in fast corners.

The bold graphics surrounding the Transalp name on the shoulders of its aggressively sculpted side cowls were inspired by the modern, high-tech design of a GPS readout, accentuating the Transalp's far-ranging appeal. The position numbers correspond to the peak altitude of the highest paved road accessible by motorcycle in Europe: at Col de la Bonette, located in the southern French Alps.

The XL700V unique Adventure Sports styling, strong performance and superb ride comfort are matched with sure-footed control and slick maneuverability that are as useful in town traffic as in adventures off the beaten path. For even more enhanced riding confidence the XL700V is now available with Combined-ABS braking to ensure added control in varied braking situations.
