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 platform for excellent handling.

Six-speed manual transmission

For those purists, a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a traditional handlebar-mounted clutch lever is available on the standard Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES models. This gearbox features Honda’s proven durability and is also slightly lighter than the DCT option.

Unicam® engine design

Honda's Unicam® engine design, with its compact cylinder-head layout, allows for optimal engine placement and superior performance in terms of both handling-related weight distribution and airflow-related horsepower. Talk about a win-win.

Dry-sump engine

A dry-sump engine design is really the only viable option for a big adventure bike. The more compact sump increases ground clearance, eliminating the main vulnerability of a conventional wet sump powerplant.

Long-travel front suspension

The standard model's inverted 45mm Showa® fork is fully adjustable and has 8 inches of travel – the most in the 1000cc ADV class. The Adventure Sports ES models have 7.3 inches of front travel to match the more street-focused 19-inch front wheel.

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 platform for excellent handling.

Four-piston calipers

Twin, four-piston brake calipers up front provide powerful braking performance, while the radial-mount design also stiffens them, increasing feel and control.

Cornering ABS

The integrated 6-axis IMU is a standard feature of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and is designed to add the correct amount of ABS based on the degree the rider is leaned over.

Riding modes

Both models offer six selectable riding modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road, User 1, and User 2. The last two allow you to customize them to your individual preferences.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) lets you customize the bike’s power delivery to match conditions or rider skill level. It has seven different settings for various terrains and allows the bike to progress as you do.

Rally-type fairing

Good fairings are key, especially when the miles pile up. We spent hours perfecting both AT models, with the Adventure Sports ES cowl shape designed to reduce high-speed highway buffeting and the standard Africa Twin made for off-road agility.

Narrow seat

We took extra care to ensure the standard Africa Twin models' seat was as narrow as possible while still being comfortable. This makes maneuvering the bike at low speeds and placing a foot on the ground when stopping much easier.

Athletic riding position

Adventure riding requires nimble maneuvering on a slim bike. The peg-bar-seat triangle offers the perfect position for agile handling on challenging trails.
