Effortless exploration
The future of adventure
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.
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.
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.
Go beyond
Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission
The Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT feature a strong, steel-gear transmission that can be operated with paddle shifters manually or automatically. It's the future of motorcycle transmissions.
Parallel-twin engine layout
The bike's 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 intakes
It 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.
Dry-sump engine
A 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.
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
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.
Rear suspension
It 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 adjustment
Adjusting the preload on your shock is effortless, with four settings tailored to your needs. There is no need to struggle with hard-to-reach collars - all adjustments are made electronically.
G switch
This special feature comes standard on all Africa Twin DCT models. It helps improve control when riding off-road by reducing clutch slip during throttle operation—an essential component for dirt riding.
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.
Tapered aluminum handlebar
Our 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.
Biaxial counterbalancer
Honda's engineers cancel out engine vibrations using counterbalancing elements on two axes, resulting in a smooth, vibration-free ride.
