Key Features
Unique Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) technology by Honda. A world first in motorcycles
Africa Twin is equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) System for a smooth acceleration or deceleration, depending on rider’s intent.The long road to adventure is varied and the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) machine gives you a choice of Manual and Automatic gear shifting to suit tarmac, dirt tracks and steep mountain passes. Experience a more enjoyable ride by focusing on the sensations of accelerating, turning and braking your motorcycle. Control your bike to your heart’s content. DCT technology brings the fundamentals of motorcycles – the joy of riding and control – to a whole new level. D mode offers the best balance of fuel economy and comfort cruising, while S mode provides extra levels of sport performance, with three different shift patterns to choose from. Africa Twin is also fully equipped to operate in an off-road environment, and its functionality is enhanced by the G-Mode. Pushing the G-button in any riding mode modifies the control of the clutch system to give a more direct drive.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) & Switchable ABS
Africa Twin comes standard-equipped with the HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) system which controls the engine’s torque output by detecting differences in the slip ratio between front and rear wheels. The standard Anti-Locking Braking System and traction control offer multiple driving modes for different conditions. It’s possible for the rider to turn off the ABS system for the rear brake, allowing the rider to lock the rear wheel when riding off-road. There are four levels of control to choose from the Honda Selectable Torque Control: Level 1, 2, 3 and Off.
A True companion ‘on & off-road’
The adventure begins where the road ends. Inheriting the “Go Anywhere” spirit of its celebrated predecessors, the CRF1000L Africa Twin packs an innovative, compact and powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine (makes 65Kw peak power @ 7,500 rpm and 92Nm torque @ 6,000 rpm) into a lightweight, agile chassis ready for true adventure both on and off road – whether crossing continents or commuting. The inverted cartridge type fully-adjustable front forks come with a 230 mm stroke – the longest in its class – with a good range of rebound and compression settings. With a class-leading 250 mm ground clearance, riding this bike off-road is a glide. The Dual LED headlights evoke memories of those Dakar winning machines.
