The XMAX surrenders a few cubes with its 292 cc mill versus the 330 cc engine in the ADV350, and that shows up in the 27.62 horsepower output that falls a skosh shy. That's plenty for urban, country, and off-road work, though it's a tad hefty at 186 kg (410-pounds) wet for serious rough-terrain service. Twin piggyback Showa shocks float the rear end on triple-rate, coil-over springs that deliver 130 mm (5.11-inches) of travel, while up front, beefy 37 mm Showa forks mark an improvement over its smaller siblings and similar scooter lines with 125 mm (4.92-inches) of travel. Out back we find the usual swing-mount drive system that runs with the engine on the left side, the exhaust on the right side along with an aluminum swingarm-half that completes the yoke. It's a worthwhile trade-off since this machine is built with actual off-road use in mind as a secondary capability to the street smarts, so it needs some extra buttressing to take the strain. Tubular-steel members on the Honda ADV350 lend the main frame its strength but also are responsible for some of the step-through obstruction.

Up top is a clear screen that sorta' sports a rally look due to its narrow build, and it comes with a four-position height adjuster that unfortunately takes both hands to manipulate, so you can't do it while underway. It throws the incoming air outboard into something approaching laminar flow with the sides and protects the swept area of the inverted fork tube.Īngry-alien LED headlights join with LED blinkers to ensure good, two-way visibility up front, day or night.
