In redesigning the Africa Twin Adventure Sports, we’ve focused on comfort, because that big fuel tank will take you a long way. The expanded front fairing offers extended wind protection, while the height-adjustable screen reduces helmet buffeting.

Adventure Sports Design The Africa Twin Adventure Sports is the perfect package for the long haul. Engineered for comfort as well as performance the front fairing protects while the height-adjustable screen lets you tailor airflow. The 24.8L fuel tank gives greater autonomy, while the large engine skid-plate plate and premium aluminium panels protect the machine.
Durable 58L Plastic Top Box Made with highly durable dual-layer shell the 58L top box can store two full-face helmets and carry a maximum load of 6kg. It uses the Honda one-key system so can be opened with the Africa Twin’s ignition key, but also features an opening/closing knob for easy access with the key. Available separately are the rear carrier for mounting, pillion backrest and waterproof inner bag.
Durable Plastic Panniers Constructed from a tough dual-layer structure both 40L and 30L right panniers benefit from lid protector frames. Width between them is less than 100cm. The left pannier will hold a full-face helmet and each pannier carries 6kg. The opening is via the Honda One-key system and fastening secure thanks to a double-catch lid lock.
Stainless Steel Radiator Protectors Constructed from stainless steel- and sporting the CRF logo – these radiator guards elevate adventure style and their mesh pattern design projects from the stone damage without hindering cooling airflow.
Comfort The riding position, is tailored for sitting and standing with high-set handlebars and contoured, slimmer seat width. Taut rally-style bodywork is equally slim with compact front fairing and screen. Dual headlights are full LED and have automatic DRL technology for piercing and consistent daytime visibility.
To improve safety, the new dual LED headlights feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for consistent daytime visibility. They also incorporate Cornering Lights which – dependent on speed and lean angle – automatically illuminate corner blind spots. Heated grips warm hands while cruise control deals with large distances; there’s also an ACC charging socket. And tubeless tyres mean easy roadside repairs.

Powerful 1100CC Engine When you’re loaded, with passenger and luggage, you need an engine that responds strongly to every input, especially for passing. So we’ve tuned an extra 5Kw/5Nm of peak power and torque into the parallel twin-cylinder powerplant and lifted performance throughout the rev-range. A new cylinder head, throttle body, and ECU deliver precise throttle control.
Wheelie Control The IMU measures the pitch angle and, combined with front and rear wheel speed, manages the amount of height the front wheel gathers relative to the level of intervention selected. Level 1 is minimum Wheelie Control, level 2 medium and level 3 maximum. Wheelie Control can also be switched off completely.
Honda Selectable Torque Control If the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system senses an imminent loss of rear-wheel traction it reduces torque to allow the tyre to grip.
Cornering ABS The IMU-controlled ABS manage braking force relative to lean angle, speed of deceleration and front and rear wheel slip ratio maintaining traction to the limit of adhesion. Lift of the rear wheel is also controlled. There’s an off-road setting and the rear brake ABS can also be switched off.
We’ve readied the Africa Twin Adventure Sports with practical features to help you go long. Really long. And it’s also packed with technology in support of your journey. Like the Africa Twin it has four pre-set riding modes and two customisable user modes, dynamic Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) control, HSTC, Cornering ABS and Wheelie Control all easily managed through the TFT touch screen, with Apple CarPlay® and Bluetooth connectivity also at your fingertips.

Dual Clutch Transmission Our unique Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is also an option when you make your choice, with automatic and manual shifting as well as G switch (selected via the TFT touchscreen) which for off-road riding reduces the amount of clutch slip during gear changes to help initiate sliding of the rear wheel.
Optional Showa EERA Suspension When you come to choose your new Africa Twin Adventure Sports – and because who knows where the open road’s going to lead – there’s the option of SHOWA ELECTRONICALLY EQUIPPED RIDE ADJUSTMENT (SHOWA EERA™) for optimum suspension settings all the time
Six Riding Modes Selection of the riding modes are easy, through the top left of the touch screen. There are four default riding modes – TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD – that modify engine response and engine braking. DCT G switch and Cornering ABS with each designed to deliver ultimate performance. Two user modes also allow for full customisation, allowing you to find the right set-up to suit your own personal preferences.
Optional Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) DCT is an automated clutch and shift operation
system that retains the direct acceleration feel
of a manual transmission with the ease of use of
an automatic. DCT allows the rider to focus on accelerating, turning and braking, rather than gear shifting. This increases confidence and control for the rider. DCT technology takes the joy of riding and controlling your machine to the next level.
The Africa Twin Adventure sports is ready for your journey.
Whether around city blocks or around the world. And because the road can be a
long one, we’ve built-in advanced riding technology in support of your travels,
all of which is easily controlled by a full-colour Multi Information Display
(MID) TFT touch screen.

Three pre-set Modes Three pre-set modes cover all scenarios between touring, city and off-road riding. Rear spring preload can also be adjusted electronically while stationary to suit load, whether riding solo or with pillion and luggage.
TFT Touch Screen Display Engage with the journey. A full-colour 6.5-inch TFT touch-screen offers immersive selection of riding modes and easy control of navigation and Bluetooth smartphone/audio connectivity. Apple CarPlay® allows seamless mirroring and management of iPhone apps or calls via the touch screen.
Dual LED Headlights with DRL and Cornering Lights The new dual LED headlight delivers a penetrating beam and also features dual Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that automatically adjust to ambient light intensity and give a bright, highly visible light improving safety. Additional Cornering Lights use speed and lean angle to automatically illuminate blind spots when cornering in the dark.
