1083cc twin-cylinder engine

Adventure redefined

1083cc twin-cylinder engine

These 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.

Adventure redefined

Cruise control

All models come equipped with cruise control for long-distance touring, similar to our Gold Wings.

Adventure redefined

Low center of gravity

By placing heavy components like the battery near the bike's center of gravity and using a compact engine, we've created a superior platform for excellent handling.

Adventure redefined

TFT touchscreen display

A 6.5-inch LCD touch-panel display shows a multitude of information, and you can choose from three displays depending on your needs.

Master of all paths

Six-speed manual transmission

Six-speed manual transmission

The Africa Twin and Africa Twin ES models have a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. This design is proven tough and a little bit lighter.

Parallel-twin engine layout

Parallel-twin engine layout

Thanks to the parallel-twin engine layout, the bike's front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine. This shortens the wheelbase, making the bike more agile on and off the road.

Long-travel front suspension

Long-travel front suspension

This adventure bike is the real deal with the most front-end travel in the 1000cc off-road class thanks to its inverted Showa fork with 45mm tubes and 9.1 inches of travel.

Cornering ABS

Cornering ABS

They 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.

Semi-double-cradle frame

Semi-double-cradle frame

The semi-double-cradle steel frame layout has been proven in countless Honda dirt bikes. In principle, it’s similar to the design used on our Rally factory Dakar race bike - a machine designed to perform in challenging conditions.

Four-piston calipers

Four-piston calipers

They 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.

43-degree steering lock

43-degree steering lock

They offer excellent maneuverability with 43 degrees of steering lock on tight trails, making them feel more nimble than many other adventure bikes.

Spoke wheels

Spoke wheels

Real adventure bikes use spoked wheels, which are more durable for off-road riding. Consequently, all models have both a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wheel.

Tall handlebar

Tall handlebar

Fitting a taller handlebar opens up the cockpit, working with the seat and windscreen for a comfortable rider's triangle during long rides.

Narrow seat

Narrow seat

We took extra care to ensure that the seat was narrower, making it easier to maneuver the bike and to place a foot on the ground at stoplights or in parking lots.

Rear suspension

Rear suspension

Not only does it feature a fully adjustable rising-rate Pro-Link® rear suspension, but it also offers 8.7 inches of rear-wheel travel.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
