AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORTS

The new Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES is something special. More mid-range torque for strong overtaking acceleration. A 19-inch front wheel, wearing a 110/80-19 tyre, lower seat height and Showa-EERA™ Electronic Suspension work together to deliver impeccable on-road handling. And, to make full use of the 24.8L fuel tank, a new fairing and screen provide wind protection for those long, enjoyable days in the saddle. Which is just what this bike is built for.

With 20mm shorter stroke, front and rear Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa-EERA™) is now standard fit. Which means optimum damping, all the time. For a perfect base setting choose Mid. There’s also Hard, for progressive riding, touring, or carrying a pillion and luggage. Soft for easy manoeuvrability, and Off-Road for precise suspension reaction away from tarmac. User allows total customisation (when stationary) and you can swap between modes – and adjust rear spring preload – while riding.

This bike is built to go long and beyond, and every update makes it big-distance ready. Showa-EERA™ Electronic Suspension offers perfect damping control, and you can swap between modes – and adjust rear spring preload – as you ride. The 19-inch front wheel delivers more front-end grip, alongside lower centre of gravity. Seat height is lower and adjustable, tool-free between 835-855mm and the seat itself has been redesigned, thicker with an 8% larger area, for the extended riding range that the 24.8L fuel tank makes possible. There’s also the comfort of 5-level height adjustable screen, heated grips, practicality of ACC and USB sockets, and full connectivity to access your smartphone’s navigation apps.

We’ve given the OHC liquid-cooled 1084cc twin-cylinder engine 7% more torque, with much stronger performance off the bottom and through the middle of the rev-range. It’s immediately noticeable with the first twist of the throttle. And, thanks to higher compression ratio of 10.5:1, new valve timing, and updated intake, there’s the same 75kW (101hp) peak power and more in the mid-range. The Throttle By Wire has been updated for even more precise control. And the exhaust is new for improved performance and a richer, more muscular note as revs rise.

🔴 7% torque increase

Features

Heated grips & Cruise control

Heated grips are standard so you can keep riding all year round, whenever you want, and wherever you want, no matter the conditions. Cruise control is fitted as standard, to ease long-distance highway travel.

Electronically controlled suspension

The Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT ES model features standard Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment™ (Showa EERA™), that tailors damping force front and rear, and spring preload to suit load and riding conditions. There are 4 settings: SOFT, HARD, MID and OFF-ROAD. Rear spring preload can be electronically adjusted while stationary, through 4 default settings: (1) riding solo, (2) riding solo with luggage, (3) riding two-up and (4) riding two-up with luggage. A USER option allows for fine-tuning of damping force front and rear and 24 points of rear spring preload.

Large adjustable screen & Long range tank

The five-position windscreen offers excellent wind and weather protection, and lets you set your bike up for off-road sections or long highway rides. Great for both taller and shorter riders.rnWhere to next? That’s up to you. 24.8L of fuel gives a potential range of over 500km. Great when you’re not sure where the next petrol station is.
