New 2024 Honda Africa Twin

2024 HONDA Africa Twin DCTForge your own trailEngineered for the bold, the Honda Africa Twin is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and rugged reliability. So swing a leg over and experience unmatched performance, whether navigating city streets or conquering untamed trails your adventure awaits.Performance1083cc twin-cylinder engineThese adventure bikes feature a narrow parallel-twin engine that delivers torque smoothly throughout the RPM range, making them great for both city riding and highway cruising.Parallel-twin engine layoutThe bikes front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine thanks to the parallel-twin engine layout. This shortens the wheelbase, making the bike more agile on and off the road.Twin intakesIt utilizes a unique twin air intake system featuring two vertical filtration elements. This results in excellent engine performance, even during extensive operation in dusty conditions.10.5:1 compression ratioFor the 2024 model, they have increased the compression ratio to 10.5:1 and changed the valve timing to produce a 7% increase in horsepower and torque, especially in the midrange, which most adventure riders prefer.Larger exhaust pipesThis year, weve increased the size of the muffler-exit pipes on both models to enhance performance and sound quality.Unicam engine designHondas Unicam engine design, with its compact cylinder-head layout, allows for optimal engine placement and superior performance.Compact dual-catalyzer exhaustUsing the same muffler-valve technology as our CBR1000RR Superbike, the exhaust silencer helps lower emissions while highlighting rideability and power output.270-degree-phase crankMost twins use a 180-degree crank. Phasing this bike at 270 degrees gives you a unique power delivery thats easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.Dry-sump engineA dry-sump engine design is the only option for a big adventure bike. The more compact sump increases ground clearance and eliminates the vulnerability of a conventional wet sump.HandlingLong-travel front suspensionThe inverted Showa fork on the standard model is fully adjustable with huge 45mm tubes and 8.0 inches of travelthe most in the 1000cc off-road class. The Adventure Sports models get 7.3 inches of front travel to match the 19-inch front-wheel fitment.Selectable ABSThese bikes come with three Anti-Lock Breaking System (ABS) modes: on-road, off-road, and a mode that turns off the rear ABS system for dirt riding.Cornering ABSThey come standard with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) integrated with a 6-axis IMU. The system compensates accordingly when the user is leaned over.Low center of gravityBy placing heavy components like the battery near the bikes center of gravity and using a compact engine, weve created a superior platform for excellent handling.Electronically controlled suspensionThe Adventure Sports ES and Adventure Sports ES DCT are equipped with SHOWA EERA suspension, allowing you to choose five suspension damper settings on the fly.Semi-double-cradle frameThe semi-double-cradle steel frame layout has been proven in countless Honda dirt bikes. In principle, its similar to the design used on our Rally factory Dakar race bike - a machine designed to perform in challenging conditions.Steel frameThis ADV bike features a frame almost 4 lbs lighter than its predecessor, with a stiffer steering head for improved handling.Four-piston calipersThey feature twin four-piston brake calipers up front for powerful braking performance. The radial-mount design also makes them stiffer, which increases brake feel and control.Refined swingarmThe swingarm is lightweight and sturdy, thanks to the technology developed for our CRF450R motocrosser.Hollow steel axlesLarge-diameter hollow steel axles are used both in the front and rear. They are extremely strong, durable, and lightweight, a combination that describes almost everything about this bike.Rear suspensionIt features a fully adjustable rising-rate Pro-Link rear suspension and offers 8.7 inches of rear-wheel travel. Our Adventure Sports models feature electronic preload adjustment with 7.9 inches of travel.Electronic preload adjustmentAdjusting the preload on your shock is effortless, with four settings tailored to your needs.

Flat tire repairs are also much easier.EngineeringRide modesThe manual transmission and DCT models offer six riding modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road, User 1, and User 2. The last two let you customize the system to your individual preference.Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch TransmissionThe Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT feature a strong, steel-gear transmission that can be operated with paddle shifters manually or automatically. Its the future of motorcycle transmissions.Six-speed manual transmissionThe Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES models have a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. This design is proven tough and slightly lighter.Water pumpThe water pump is behind the cover, with no fragile hoses, and driven by a balancer shaft. One less worry.Throttle-by-wireOur throttle-by-wire system expands versatility with seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and four power delivery modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, and a fourth thats user-programmable.Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) lets you customize power delivery to match conditions with seven different settings for various terrains.Wheelie controlWorking with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), front and rear wheel-speed sensors allow you to choose from three levels of wheelie control, with an available off position for manual control.G switchThis special feature comes standard on all Africa Twin DCT models. It helps improve control when riding off-road by reducing clutch slip during throttle operationan essential component for dirt riding.Lightweight lithium-ion batteryConventional batteries are heavy, so we used a lightweight lithium-ion battery that holds a charge four times longer and has a longer shelf life.StyleRally-type fairingGood fairings are key for real riders. Hours were spent perfecting them on both AT models to balance wind protection and off-road agility. Our 2024 Adventure Sports models have a new cowl shape for even better protection and a new windscreen shape to reduce buffeting.Comfort and ConvenienceLarge fuel tanksOur Africa Twin and Africa Twin DCT feature 18.8-liter (5.0-gallon) fuel tanks, while our two Adventure Sports ES models increase that capacity to 24.8-liter (6.6 gallons), enough for super-sized adventures.Optional aluminum luggageOur three-piece hard luggage set is a must-have accessory for any traveler. These bags are equipped with weather-resistant lining, and the largest bag can even accommodate a full-face helmet.Tall handlebarFitting a taller handlebar opens up the cockpit, working with the seat and windscreen for a comfortable riders triangle during long rides.Tapered aluminum handlebarOur aluminum handlebars are lighter and more flexible than steel units. They are designed to taper from a thin diameter under your grips to a thicker section at the top, offering optimal flex and rigidity.Narrow seatWe took extra care to ensure the seat was narrower, making it easier to maneuver the bike and place a foot on the ground at stoplights or parking lots. This year, the Adventure Sports models feature a new seat with a new shape for more comfort during long rides.Narrow subframeThe aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs. Width has been reduced by 40mm for a narrower and more agile feel in challenging terrain.Biaxial counterbalancerHondas engineers cancel out engine vibrations using counterbalancing elements on two axes, resulting in a smooth, vibration-free ride.Athletic riding positionAdventure riding demands agile movement on a narrow bike.
