Is the Honda X-ADV Special Edition all it’s cracked up to be?

I think folks are missing the point. It’s not about being practical; it’s about having fun and about expressing yourself. Why not, if you can afford it and it makes you happy?
What does the X-ADV Special Edition's post-apocalyptic design do to its functionality?

In fact, I believe the post-apocalyptic design actually improves functionality. In off-road situations, those extra panels and guards could be more protection. It’s like built-in armor for your bike!

I honestly am worried it is form over function. At higher speeds, all those extra bits could catch wind and affect handling. And the more stuff, the more things that could break or rattle loose.

From what I've seen, Honda manages to get style and substance right. They've done wind tunnel testing and made sure the design doesn't hurt performance, I bet. It might even make you a little faster aerodynamically in some way.

I’ve ridden in post-apocalyptic-looking areas (Detroit, I’m looking at you), and I can attest that rugged designs can be pretty practical. In fact, it may actually help protect the bike from debris and minor scrapes.

I believe the people are overthinking it. That's not to say they rebuilt the bike from scratch. There is still a very solid machine at the core of the X-ADV. It’s not like the special edition takes away anything; it just gives it some cool flair without changing the basics.

I can just think of the maintenance. With so many extra nooks and crannies, it’s going to be a pain to clean, especially after a muddy ride. Hope you like detailing!

I think it might even help with visibility. That unique design is going to make you stick out on the road so that other drivers will see you. Safety through style!
Does the XBlade's digital instrument cluster meet the hype?

It's a gimmick. It's hard to read in bright sunlight, and half the features are useless. I’m afraid I’ll have to give my simple analog dials any day.

I love it! The gear indicator is super helpful, and the layout is clean and easy to read at a glance.

It's okay, but not great. The backlight occasionally flickers, and the fuel gauge is very weirdly inaccurate.

One of the best things about the XBlade is the digital cluster. The bike feels more premium, and you get all the info you need.

But it’s overkill for a 160cc commuter. I don’t use half the functions, and I’m sick of worrying about the repair costs when it conks out after the warranty.

If you’ve upgraded from an old analog bike, the XBlade’s digital cluster is a breath of fresh air. It’s clear, it’s informative, it’s cool to look at.

It's a mixed bag. The tachometer is hard to read quickly, but the clock and trip meters are handy.

Honestly, I thought I would love it, but I find myself missing the simplicity of analog gauges. It’s also trying too hard to be high-tech.

The service reminder feature is great on the digital cluster. It has helped me maintain it without having to remember to do so myself.

It's not perfect, but it's better than most of the bikes in this segment. I just wish they'd added a side stand indicator.
In long-distance touring, how does the XBlade compare to its competitors?

Last month I took my XBlade on a 1000 km trip. Surprisingly comfortable, but once you're on the highway, you get tired after a couple of hours because there's no windscreen.

Weekend getaways are okay enough, but I don't see it as a bike for serious touring. At constant high speed, the engine is stressed.
