Description
Lighter, more powerful and with more features than ever, the new Africa Twin range is ready for even bigger adventures. Happy to carry you even farther and offering the Honda quality, ruggedness and dependability you need when you're miles from home. We’ve taken what we think is the world’s best adventure bike and made it even better, with 4 options to choose from and a whole suite of features including cruise control and a large touch-panel multi-information display that’s Apple CarPlay™ & Android Auto compatible. What are you waiting for?
Conventional batteries are notoriously heavy—that’s why we gave the Africa Twin a high-tech, lightweight lithium-ion battery. Compared with a similar lead-acid battery, it holds a charge approximately four times longer, and its shelf life is 1.6 times longer. Plus, it’s way lighter.
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.
Using the same muffler-valve technology as our CBR1000RR Superbike, the Africa Twins' new exhaust silencer helps lower emissions while highlighting ride-ability and power output.
The standard Africa Twin features a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. It’s a proven, tough design that’s a little bit lighter, too.
Available on the Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT and ES models, this is the transmission of the future. Inside, it’s as tough as a conventional manual, with steel gears throughout. You can let it shift for you, or paddle shifters in the manual mode give you full control. Four settings (Drive, Sport 1, 2, and 3) let you pick what’s right for your riding conditions.
We gave our new CRF1100L Africa Twin a bigger engine for 2020. By increasing the stroke by 6.4mm, you get more power and torque everywhere from idle to redline. You’ll have more grunt down low, and cruise easier on the open road. 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 wheelbase and making the bike nimbler off road and on pavement. Honda’s exclusive Unicam® engine design helps us give the Africa Twin a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement. But the engine also benefits from superior performance, thanks to the entire cylinder-head layout. It’s the best of both worlds!
