AFRICA TWIN

AFRICA TWIN for Sale at Honda Epping in Epping, VIC | Specifications and Review Information

Lighter, more powerful and with more features than ever, the new Africa Twin range is ready for even bigger adventures. Happy to carry you even farther and offering the Honda quality, ruggedness and dependability you need when your miles from home. We've taken what we think is the world's best adventure bike and made it even better, with 4 options to choose from and a whole suite of features including cruise control and a large touch-panel multi-information display that's Apple CarPlay™ compatible. What are you waiting for?

COMPACT DUAL-CATALYZER EXHAUST

Not only is the Africa Twin's rising-rate Pro-Link® rear suspension fully adjustable, it offers a 220mm of rear-wheel travel. Even better, there's a special remote preload adjuster - you just turn a convenient knob, and you can compensate for varying loads like a passenger or full panniers.

TWIN INTAKES

The Africa Twin uses a unique twin air-intake design with two vertical filtration elements. All that clean air helps the engine deliver excellent performance, even under prolonged operation in dusty conditions.

LIGHTWEIGHT LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

Conventional batteries are notoriously heavy - that's why we gave the Africa Twin a high-tech, lightweight lithium-ion battery. Compared with a similar lead-acid battery, it holds a charge approximately four times longer, and its shelf life is 1.6 times longer. Plus, it's way lighter.

43-DEGREE STEERING LOCK

With 43 degrees of steering lock both left and right, the Africa Twin provides excellent maneuverability on tight trails. This is one of the reasons the Africa Twin feels so much nimbler than many of the other bigger adventure bikes out there.

SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

The standard Africa Twin features a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. It's a proven, tough design that's a little bit lighter, too.

LONG TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION

The Africa Twin doesn't just look like an adventure bike - it's the real deal. Exhibit A: Check out its long-travel front suspension. The inverted Showa fork is fully adjustable with huge 45mm tubes and 231mm of travel - the most front-end travel in the 1000cc off-road class.

POWERFUL 1084CC PARALLEL TWIN ENGINE

By increasing the stroke by 6.4mm, you get more power and torque everywhere from idle to redline. You'll have more grunt down low, and cruise easier on the open road. The Africa Twins parallel-twin engine 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 nimbler off road and on pavement. Honda's exclusive Unicam® engine design helps us give the Africa Twin a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement.

HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL

The Africa Twin's throttle-by-wire system lets us offer Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). You can dial in exactly the kind of power delivery you want for the conditions at hand. Honda Selectable Torque Control features seven settings for a wide range of conditions, from pavement to fast, loose fire roads to challenging single track. You can also turn it off.
