Liquid-cooled OHC 4-stroke 8-valve Parallel Twin with 270° crank and uni-cam
We say bring it on. And to up the ‘Go Everywhere’ factor even more, the Africa Twin just got a major upgrade. It’s still the amazingly agile tool it has always been – with performance to push to the limit – but is now loading extra low-down and mid-range torque for unstoppable drive and even faster acceleration.
Complete with 6-axis IMU control, four default riding modes, two custom options plus 7-level HSTC, 3-level Wheelie Control and Cornering ABS, the electronic package is top draw. Our unique 6-speed DCT is an option, too. Add a full colour TFT touchscreen, with smartphone connectivity and, whichever Africa Twin you choose, you are ready. For anything.
Performance
Twin-cylinder powerhouse
Torque is what finds smooth, relentless drive in the dirt, and keeps you moving forward when the going gets tough. It’s also what brings the instant acceleration needed for safe overtaking out on the open road, especially when two up and fully loaded.
So, we’ve given the Africa Twin’s OHC 8-valve, liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine 7% more, with much stronger performance off the bottom and through the middle of the rev-range. And, thanks to higher compression ratio (10.5:1), new valve timing and updated intake there’s no loss of power – 75kW [101HP] at peak – with the precise response and feel of Throttle By Wire control.
And, because it matters, while working on the rest of the engine we tuned the exhaust to breathe free with a deeper sound – the perfect backdrop for every ride.

Technology
Both Africa Twin and Africa Twin ES are loaded with electronics that make the ride more enjoyable and safer. No matter the route. 7-level Honda Selectable Torque Control – managed by 6-axis IMU – monitors rear wheel traction and smoothly gathers up drive on- or off-road. 3-level Wheelie Control gives just the front wheel lift you want, while cornering ABS inspires full braking confidence. A customizable display the full-color TFT touch screen offers 6.5-inch color control of riding modes as well.

AR EXPERIENCE
6.5 Inch TFT Touch screen with connectivity
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® compatible for all smartphone functions, with fully customizable colour 6.5-inch display is available on the Africa Twin. There’s also a USB charging socket tucked away to the right of the dash.
Electronic Suspension System
The new Africa Twin ES packs Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA™) which means optimum damping settings, all the time. Want a perfect base setting? Choose Mid. There’s also Hard, for progressive riding and for carrying a pillion or luggage. Soft for easy maneuverability even on poor surfaces and Off-Road for precise suspension reaction away from Tarmac. User allows total customization (when stationary), and you can swap between modes – and adjust rear spring preload – while riding. Heated grips and an ACC socket are also standard.
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) option
Alongside the standard six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch you can choose your Africa Twin with our six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). Perfected over the last 10 years DCT means zero-stress, smooth, automatic shifting up and down, great for long distance riding. We’ve updated the settings, for an even more natural feel on launch and at low speeds. The Africa Twin’s DCT system also uses cornering detection; when the IMU recognizes the bike is cornering, the system subtly adjusts the shifting programme for the most natural gear changes. In addition to the automatic D mode, the automatic S mode offers 3-levels of sports shifting and the system is customizable, from relaxed to ultimate performance.
