HONDA AFRICA TWIN

THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURER

Lighter, more powerful, and with more updates than ever before, the latest Africa Twin series is primed for even bigger adventures. Happy to take you even further and to deliver the Honda standard, robustness, and durability you need when you're miles from home. We've taken what we think is the best adventure bike in the world and made it even better, with 4 models to pick from and a whole package of features like cruise control and a large multi-information touch screen monitor that's compatible with Apple CarPlay™. What the heck are you asking for?

POWERFUL 1084cc PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE

We have given our latest CRF1100L Africa Twin a bigger engine for 2020. By increasing the stroke by 6.4 mm, you get more power and torque from idle to redline everywhere. You're going to get more grunt down there, and a drive smoother on the open lane.

SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

The regular Africa Twin features a traditional six-speed manual transmission with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. It's a tested, rugged build that's a little lighter, too.

COMPACT DUAL-CATALYZER EXHAUST

Using the same muffler valve technology as our CBR1000RR Superbike, the latest Africa Twins exhaust silencer helps minimize emissions while improving rideability and power output.

TWIN INTAKES

The Africa Twin uses a special dual air intake system with two vertical filtration features. All the clean air makes the engine produce outstanding performance even in sustained dusty conditions.

WATER PUMP

Will you see the water pump of the Africa Twin? Trick question, man! It's covered behind the cover on the right, out of harm's way. There are also no prone hoses, a limitation on certain motorcycles. Driven by the balanced shaft, in the event of a tip-over or a rough segment, it's one less thing to think about.

CRUISE CONTROL

Honda's Africa Twins are making perfect long-distance touring bikes. To that end, we've fitted our 2020 cruise control models much like our Gold Wings. Is your next trip just started a few hundred miles away? There's no problem!

SELECTABLE, CORNERING ABS

Our 2020 Africa Twin models offer two ABS modes: road and off-road. The third setting lets you turn off the rear ABS for running in the mud. The Africa Twin Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) comes standard with a 6-axis IMU, it knows when you're bent forward, and it compensates accordingly.

LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION

The Africa Twin isn't just an adventure machine, it's the real thing. Exhibit A: Find out the long-distance front suspension. The inverted Showa fork is entirely adjustable with wide 45 mm and 231 mm tubes, the most front-end movement in the 1000cc off-road range.

REAR SUSPENSION

Not only is the Africa Twin 's Pro-Link ® rear suspension fully adjustable, it provides a 220 mm stroke for 8.7 inches of rear-wheel drive. Even still, there's a separate remote preload adjuster in there.

TALLER PREMIUM HANDLEBAR

We increased the handlebar 22.5 mm higher in 2020. This helps open the cabin, which acts in combination with the new seat which windscreen to make you a more convenient rider's triangle for those long days in the saddle.

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. You’ll have access to weather, playlists and telephone numbers while aboard.
