2026-Africa-Twin-DCT-Matte_Black_Metallic-1490x736

The dual-clutch difference

Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission

The Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT models feature a robust, steel-gear transmission that can be operated manually with paddle shifters or left in a fully automatic mode, where it shifts entirely for you. Enhanced logic provides smoother low-speed control and more natural gear changes.

The dual-clutch difference

Tires and wheels

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

The dual-clutch difference

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.

Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™

Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ are standard across all models, connecting your mobile device to provide access to texts, navigation, and more. Wireless Bluetooth® connection is also available for audio use with optional headsets.

Auto convenience, off-road prowess

View all Features

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.

Selectable ABS

Both models feature a three-mode Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), allowing you to choose between On-Road, Off-Road, or a rear-ABS delete mode for enhanced performance during more aggressive dirt riding.

Semi-double-cradle frame

The lightweight semi-double-cradle steel frame is similar in design to those found on our factory HRC Rally race bike—a machine built for peak performance in the most challenging conditions with a history of winning the Dakar Rally twice.

270-degree-phase crank

Most twins use a 180-degree crank, but the Africa Twin family has a 270-degree design. This setup provides a unique power delivery that’s easier to modulate in terrain where traction is challenging, not to mention a unique sound.

Tubeless tires

Tubeless tires are standard on all four Africa Twin variations. They provide a cooler-running tire and a wide selection of adventure bike rubber. Flat tire repairs are also much easier.

Ride modes

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.

Throttle by wire

Electronics are anchored by a six-axis IMU that oversees the throttle-by-wire system, expanding the Africa Twin’s versatility. It provides seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and four power delivery modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, and User, which can be custom programmed.

Athletic riding position

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.

Large fuel tanks

Both standard Africa Twin models feature 5-gallon fuel tanks, while our two Adventure Sports ES models increase that capacity to 6.6 gallons for those of you looking to super-size your adventures.

Narrow subframe

The aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs, and its narrow width gives the bike a slimmer feel between the rider’s legs, making it more agile in challenging terrain.

Full accessory lineup

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.
