Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2024

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2024

For me, the Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. Despite the manageable power level for its displacement, the engine impresses with its character and sound. It is the star of the Africa Twin cylinder, offers versatility and works just as well on the motorway as it does off-road. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps and can be raised to a new, extremely high level with the optional semi-active suspension. The ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. In addition, the DCT transmission, which is unique in the bike sector and is now extremely sophisticated, is an absolute killer comfort feature. To summarise: A bike for every day, for adventurous touring and also for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

Powerful, finely controllable engine

Sophisticated electronic riding aids

Wonderfully functioning DCT

Great suspension, especially the optional electronic EERA suspension offers a very wide spread and a lot of comfort

Finely adjustable brakes

Touch-screen colour display

Good ergonomics

Suitable for long journeys

Good wind protection

Maximum lean angle may be too low for sporty riders

High centre of gravity makes it tippy when manoeuvring - especially with a lot of luggage and a pillion

Standard handguards not very robust for off-road use

Electronic operating concept requires familiarisation and careful consideration - keyword: flood of switches

Ergonomics too touristic for ambitious off-road riders

No off-road suitable rim and handguard options in the accessories range
