Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from the high-legged off-road motorbike to a touring bike with a 19 inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessibility thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Bassier sound than before

Finely controllable brakes

5 kg more on the ribs than before
