The 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.

The standard models come equipped with a fully adjustable 45mm Showa® inverted fork, offering an impressive 9.1 inches of travel—the most in the 1000cc ADV class. The Adventure Sports ES models feature 8.3 inches of front travel, ideally suited to complement the more street-oriented 19-inch front wheel.

Twin four-piston front brake calipers deliver strong stopping performance, and their radial-mount design increases stiffness, improving feel and control.

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.

Controlled by the 6-axis IMU, we designed the intelligent Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to apply the correct amount of braking based on the rider’s lean angle.

Both models offer six selectable riding modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road, User 1, and User 2—all managed through the 6.5-inch touchscreen TFT display. The last two can be customized to your individual preferences.

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.

Proper fairings are essential for long-distance riding, and we spent hours perfecting both Africa Twin models. The Adventure Sports ES features a specially designed cowl shape and revised side deflectors to minimize high-speed highway buffeting. At the same time, the standard Africa Twin is built for enhanced off-road agility.

We took extra care to ensure that the standard Africa Twin’s seat is as narrow as possible. This design makes it easier to maneuver the bike at low speeds and to put a foot on the ground when stopping. Additionally, the recontoured foam enhances comfort and support for those long hours spent in the saddle.

Adventure riding requires nimble maneuvering on a slim bike. Each model has been designed with an optimized peg-bar-seat triangle to suit its specific purpose. The standard model provides agile handling for tackling challenging terrain, while the Adventure Sports ES offers confidence-inspiring comfort on paved roads.

All Africa Twin models come factory-equipped with cruise control for touring, and you’ll thank us after those high-mileage rides.

Make your new Africa Twin even more yours with a full range of Honda accessories—33 for the standard model and 29 for the Adventure Sports ES. Included in these are a centerstand, engine guard, rally-style luggage, various seat options, enduro footpegs, and much more.
