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.

Explore without limits

Cruise control

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

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.

Epic journeys await

Six-speed manual transmission

Six-speed manual transmission

The 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.

10.5:1 compression ratio

10.5:1 compression ratio

For 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 pipes

Larger exhaust pipes

This year, we've increased the size of the muffler-exit pipes on both models to enhance performance and sound quality.

Unicam® engine design

Unicam® engine design

Honda's Unicam® engine design, with its compact cylinder-head layout, allows for optimal engine placement and superior performance.

Long-travel front suspension

Long-travel front suspension

The inverted Showa fork on the standard model is fully adjustable with huge 45mm tubes and 8.0 inches of travel—the 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.

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.

Steel frame

Steel frame

This ADV bike features a frame almost 4 lbs lighter than its predecessor, with a stiffer steering head for improved handling.

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.

Tires and wheels

Tires and wheels

All Africa Twin models have wire-spoked wheels. The standard models feature 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels for better performance off-road, while the Adventure Sports models have more road-focused 19-inch front wheels and wider rims.

Tubeless tires

Tubeless tires

Tubeless tires are now standard on all of our Africa Twin models, providing a cooler-running tire and a wide selection of adventure bike rubber. Flat tire repairs are also much easier.

Large fuel tanks

Large fuel tanks

Our 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.

Athletic riding position

Athletic riding position

Adventure riding demands agile movement on a narrow bike. The peg-bar-seat triangle lets you adjust your position for better handling on tough trails.
