The Africa Twin has been upgraded for 2024
It’s still the amazingly agile Adventure bike it has always been – with great performance pushing the Limit – but now with extra low-down torque for drive.
A new 5 way adjustable screen makes those on-road days much more comfortable.
Tubeless tyres are easily repairable.

CRF1100L Africa Twin ES
The Africa Twin ES packs Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa-EERA™) which means optimum damping settings, all the time.
Want a perfect base setting? Choose Mid. There’s also Hard, for progressive riding, touring, or carrying a pillion and luggage, Soft for easy manoeuvrability and Off-Road for precise suspension reaction away from tarmac.
User allows total customisation (when stationary) and you can swap between modes – and adjust rear spring preload – while riding.
The Africa Twin ES also packs heated grips and an ACC socket as standard.
To Push Limits
Riding off-road is about finding the balance to push. Which is exactly what this chassis does.
The formula is precise; a lightweight steel frame, CRF450R-inspired aluminium swingarm and bolt-on subframe provide the right rigidity and feedback for traction. Long travel Showa suspension – 230mm stroke front, 220mm rear – with updated settings absorbs rough terrain, and there’s huge 250mm ground clearance to clear obstacles.
For pinpoint setup the rear shock, operating through Pro-Link, is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping.
More Muscular Performance
Torque is what finds drive in the dirt. It’s what brings the instant acceleration needed for safe overtaking, especially when two up and loaded. So, we’ve given the OHC liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine 7% more, with much stronger performance off the bottom and through the middle of the rev-range.
And, thanks to higher compression ratio, new valve timing and updated intake and exhaust there’s no loss of power – 75kW (101 hp) at peak – with the precise response and feel of Throttle By Wire control.
For Every Adventure
The Africa Twin is loaded with electronics that make the ride more enjoyable and safer.
No matter the route. 7-level Honda Selectable Torque Control – managed by a 6-Axis IMU – monitors rear wheel traction and smoothly gathers up drive on- or off-road. 3-level wheelie control gives just the front wheel lift you want, while cornering ABS inspires full braking confidence.
Four default riding modes, URBAN, TOUR, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD are set ready but you can go fully custom, across all of the parameters, in USER mode.
Off-Road Balance
From gravel tracks to gnarly climbs, the Africa Twin makes it easy thanks to long travel suspension, light weight, and honed chassis geometry.
Extra Wind Protection
The taller, wider screen adjusts through 5 positions for maximum forward visibility or maximum wind protection – you choose.
Standard Fit Tubeless Tyres
Sometimes, mid-adventure, small details matter: 21-inch front/18-inch rear rims now wear tubeless tyres, with a revised spoke design, for easy roadside repairs..
6-Axis IMU Dynamic Management
An Inertial Measurement Unit monitors – in a split second – the Africa Twin under braking, cornering and acceleration, providing a premium riding experience synonymous with Africa Twin.
TFT Touch Screen
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible for all smartphone functions, with fully customisable colour 6.5-inch display.
Stronger 1100cc Twin-Cylinder Engine
7% more torque – thanks to tuned intake and exhaust systems – equals responsive acceleration, especially when fully loaded, producing a richer sound.
