SHAPED BY
REAL RIDERS
The new Africa Twin range has been shaped by the people who know adventure best: riders.
Through customer clinics, workshops and experiences such as Honda Adventure Roads, riders helped influence the next chapter of Africa Twin. Their feedback guided our engineers, helping create a range that is more capable, more intuitive and more rewarding to ride.
With three distinct models designed around different adventure needs, there's an Africa Twin for every journey.
Now it's your turn to experience them.

ALL-ROUND
ADVENTURE
Three models, all sharing the same proven Africa Twin DNA.
Lighter Frame & Swingarm
A lighter frame and swingarm improve agility and control, with the 1.4kg weight saving making the Africa Twin even more capable and easier to handle when riding off-road.
Updated Riding Position
A narrower chassis, higher handlebars and repositioned footpegs create a more natural riding position, giving you greater control.
redesigned fuel tank
A separate fuel tank layout contributes to low centre of gravity centralising mass for agile handling and confident low-speed maneuverability, inspired by Honda's original NXR Dakar-winning rally bike.
TWIN LED HEADLIGHTS & TAILLIGHT
New headlights tailored to each model, with signature dual LED headlights and integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRL). A consistent LED taillight completes the look across the range.
-
7-INCH TFT TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY
A glove-friendly 7-inch touchscreen offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® connectivity. A secondary 5.7-inch TFT display keeps essential ride information clearly in view.
-
CORNERING ABS
IMU-controlled Cornering ABS delivers confident braking through corners.
-
Improved Handlebar Switchgear
A simplified button layout and backlit controls create a more intuitive, harmonised system that's easier to use, day or night. From 22 down to 16 switches, including new ergonomic DCT trigger layout.
-
RECYCLED MATERIALS
Durabio™, a resin made from plant-derived isosorbide, is used for the windscreen and deflectors. Post-industrial recycled (PIR) plastics are used for the seat bottom plate and rear-fender stay, while post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics are used for selected coloured resin parts.
-
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is easy to access, making routine maintenance quick and straightforward.
-
Smart system
Enables keyless operation of the ignition, steering lock and fuel tank cap, while the optional Smart Top Box can be controlled by smart key.
