Although there are no mechanical changes, the Japanese brand has made adjustments to the six-speed DCT transmission system to offer smoother takeoffs and better low-speed control. The clutch has also been recalibrated to provide a more pleasant response for the rider. 
Under the fairing, the X-ADV 2026 retains its robust 745 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering 57.8 hp at 6,750 rpm and 69 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm. The DCT transmission offers two modes of operation: automatic and manual, giving the rider more versatility.

The scooter offers a range of premium features, including:
- Full LED lighting
- Cruise control
- Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with three levels + OFF
- Five riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and User
- 5-inch color TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation
- Smart Key, USB-C port, DRL, and automatic turn signal indicators
Chassis and suspension
Built on a tubular steel frame, the X-ADV features a 41 mm USD front fork and a rear mono-shock with preload adjustability. The spoked wheels measure 17 inches at the front and 15 inches at the rear, fitted with dual-purpose tubeless tires.
The braking system includes dual floating 296 mm front discs with radial four-piston calipers and a 240 mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper, both assisted by dual-channel ABS.
