Yoshimura Introduces 2024 Honda Transalp RS-12 ADV slip-on
Honda Transalp, the middle weight parallel twin that the adventure segment has been anticipating for a long time is finally here. Boasting Honda’s brand new 755cc unicam engine platform and handling prowess, the Transalp will be a mainstay in the adventure market for years to come.
We enlisted Yoshimura’s go-to for adventure, our RS-12 ADV platform. Built to endure the ruggedness of adventure, while adding power, torque and tone, our RS-12 ADV Street Series slip-on delivers! We even include a custom Yoshimura carbon fiber heat shield for this model. The Transalp now has some serious grunt when you crack the throttle.
Adding power and torque just where the new Honda wants it the RS-12 ADV comes through with flying colors. Adding 2% max HP and 1.1% max torque across the power spectrum. We also decreased the amount of weight from the stock unit by 1.5 Lbs.
Available options for this RS-12 ADV Street Series slip-on are SA-19-K USFS spark arrestor and INS-31-K low volume insert.
Yoshimura’s RS-12 ADV is proudly designed, developed and manufactured in Chino, California.
