Cruise control
The Africa Twin is as much at home on the open road as it is on the dirt. For that extra comfort when touring, cruise control is standard, so you can just relax and enjoy the view.
Semi double cradle frame
The semi-double-cradle frame layout has been proven in countless Honda off-road bikes. The design is similar to the one used on the CRF450R Rally bike, a machine that’s designed to perform in the most challenging conditions.
1084cc parallel twin engine
The parallel-twin engine delivers torque everywhere from idle to redline. You have more grunt down low, and can cruise easily on the open road. The narrow 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 more nimble both on and off road.
Long travel suspension
Front suspension is made of fully adjustable Showa 45mm inverted forks with 204mm axle travel.
The Pro-Link® rear suspension has 220mm of travel, and is also fully adjustable, including a convenient remote preload adjuster.
This combination gives you real comfort on road, and serious capability off-road.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) you can dial in exactly the kind of power delivery you want for the conditions at hand. It features seven different settings (and can also be turned off) for a wide range of conditions, from pavement to fast, loose dirt roads to the most challenging trails.
Cornering ABS
All Africa Twin models offer cornering ABS with two modes: on-road and off-road. A third setting lets you turn the rear ABS off altogether for riding in the dirt.
Riding modes
There are four default riding mode settings: TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD to cover most riding conditions and situations, plus two customisable USER settings.
Each mode has pre-set power, engine braking and ABS parameters.
In all modes (both default and user) the levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control and wheelie control can be adjusted to rider preference.
