Africa Twin 2024

The 2024 Honda Africa Twin (CRF1100L) is the direct heir of the XRV750 that dominated the Paris-Dakar in the 1980s. In its modern version, the Africa Twin combines a 1084cc parallel twin engine with 102 horsepower, an optional DCT transmission unique in its segment, and rider assist technology that balances power with accessibility. It is the most versatile large adventure bike Honda has built.

1084cc Parallel Twin: Power and Efficiency

The 270° parallel twin engine delivers 102 hp and 105 Nm of torque with a linear and manageable character. The 270° arrangement creates an irregular firing pulse that gives the engine personality and improves traction off-road by not maintaining constant torque. The 44 mpg fuel economy for an engine of this displacement is outstanding.

DCT: The Transmission That Changes the Game

The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) option in the Africa Twin is unique in large adventure bikes. It allows riding without a manual clutch — the transmission shifts automatically or is controlled with paddles on the handlebar. On difficult off-road terrain it is especially useful: both hands on the handlebar, no worrying about the clutch when exiting obstacles or on technical terrain.

Native Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

The 2024 Africa Twin was the first motorcycle to integrate Android Auto and Apple CarPlay natively on its 6.5" screen. Connect your smartphone and use Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps directly on the bike's screen with voice control.

Who is the 2024 Africa Twin for?

For long-distance travelers who want a large bike capable of all types of terrain. For those who value DCT technology for more relaxed riding. For Honda fans who want the brand's best adventure bike.
