MAKE LIFE AN ADVENTURE.
MAKE LIFE AN ADVENTURE.
Has there ever been a better time to be an adventure-bike rider? And has taken your next vacation on an adventure bike ever looked better either? Honda's Africa Twin lineup is so good it's an embarrassment of riches. Technology. Comfort. Reliability you can count on, come rain or shine, continent-crossing journeys or weekend getaways. Features like cruise control and touch-screen technology make it a great tourer, while its rugged construction and off-road refinements let you wander from horizon to horizon on the path less traveled.
TALLER HANDLEBAR
Last year we raised the handlebar 22.5mm higher. That helps open up the cockpit and works in concert with the seat and windscreen to give you a more comfortable rider's triangle for those long days in the saddle.
TAPERED ALUMINUM HANDLEBAR
Another example of fitting premium equipment to the Africa Twin wherever we can, the aluminum handlebar is lighter than a steel unit. The design tapers from a thinner diameter under your grips to a thicker section at the top clamp and is fine-tuned for optimal flex and rigidity.
NARROW SEAT
We made special efforts to keep the Africa Twin's seat narrow. That makes it easier to move around on the bike, and also makes it easier to get a foot on the ground at stoplights or in parking lots.
APPLE CARPLAY™
Apple CarPlay™* seamlessly integrates your compatible iPhone®* into your new Africa Twin. That means you can use your iPhone® to access Apple Maps, Apple Music, and other services easily.
TFT TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY
The Africa Twins feature a 6.5-inch touch-panel LCD multi-information dash display. You can choose between three displays, too, depending on how much information you want to see at once. The screen also enables the Africa Twin to offer integrated Apple CarPlay.
SIX-SPEED DCT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Available on the Africa Twin DCT and Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT, this is the transmission of the future. Inside, it's as tough as a conventional manual, with steel gears throughout.
CRUISE CONTROL
Here's one of the worst-kept secrets in the motorcycling world--Honda's Africa Twins make great long-distance touring bikes. To that end, we've equipped our Africa Twin models with cruise control, just like our Gold Wings. Your next adventure really starts a couple of hundred miles away? No problem!
THROTTLE BY WIRE
Our throttle-by-wire system greatly expands the Africa Twin's versatility. First, you get seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control.
270-DEGREE-PHASE CRANK
Most twins use a 180-degree crank. By phasing the Africa Twin's at 270 degrees, you get a unique power delivery that's easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.
ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
The Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES and Adventure Sports ES DCT are equipped with SHOWA EERA® (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) electronically controlled suspension.
STEEL FRAME
This second generation of Africa Twin features a frame that is almost four pounds lighter than our earlier bikes. And while it may be lighter, we fine-tuned it by making the steering head more resistant to twist.
SEMI-DOUBLE-CRADLE-FRAME
The Africa Twin's semi-double-cradle frame layout has been proven in countless Honda dirtbikes. In principle, it's similar to the design we use on our CRF450R Rally bike--a machine that's designed to perform in the challenging Dakar rally and similar events.
1084cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
The CRF1100L Africa Twin sports one of the best engines ever in an adventure bike. The parallel-twin design is narrow and delivers torque everywhere from idle to redline. You'll have more grunt down low, and cruise easily on the open road.
PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE LAYOUT
The Africa Twin's parallel-twin engine layout makes the bike shorter front-to-back. That means the front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine, shortening the wheelbase and making the bike more nimble off-road and on the pavement.
TWIN INTAKES
The Africa Twin uses a unique twin air-intake design with two vertical filtration elements. All that clean air helps the engine deliver excellent performance, even under prolonged operation in dusty conditions.
