Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT 2019

The look and design of the Honda CRF1000L Africa TWin DCT is insanely beautiful, but our testers are not dazzled by it. The chassis could be harder, especially for the road, and more power and sportiness would also do the Africa Twin good. Apart from that, however, the rest works great. Reliability, suitability for touring and a well-rounded overall package - what more could you want on a touring enduro.

Successful appearance

good workmanship

high reliability

well-functioning DCT

suitable for touring and travelling, also with pillion

great, roaring sound

suitable for off-road use.

chassis a little too soft - makes it difficult to drive a precise line

could do with more sportiness and performance

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2021

The Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (optional)

colour touch-screen display

good ergonomics

Suitability for long journeys

Great Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration

Windscreen adjustment somewhat impractical

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Windscreen and wind protection not perfect - head turbulence occurs at higher travelling speeds

The engine is too unspectacular for sporty riders
