CRF1100D3 DCT + Electronic Suspension

It’s still the amazingly agile Adventure bike it has always been – with performance to push to the limit – but with extra low-down torque for drive, a new adjustable screen and now with tubeless tyres that are easily repairable. Arguably the biggest upgrade though is that it packs Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa-EERA™) which means optimum damping settings, all the time – and you can swap between modes, and adjust rear spring preload while riding. The Africa Twin ES also packs heated grips and an ACC socket as standard.

Now packing 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, 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.

The Africa Twin is loaded with electronics that make the ride more enjoyable and safer. No matter the route. 7-level Honda Selectable Torque Control – managed by a 6-Axis inertial measurement unit (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. Four default riding modes, URBAN, TOUR, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD are set ready but you can go fully custom, across all of the parameters, in USER mode.

Equipped with a six-speed DCT, for smooth automatic shifting up and down. Perfect for long distance riding. It’s newly updated, for a natural feel on launch, and at low speeds. Customisable, from relaxed to sports performance. You can also switch to manual control using the left-hand trigger-shifters. And, when riding off-road, a press of G switch (on the TFT display) reduces clutch slip, boosting rear wheel traction and feel.
