Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2025

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT with 19" front wheel turns out to be a suitable candidate for all those who want to ride to work every day, but don't want to miss out on the fun of after-work rides and weekend excursions on two wheels. Despite its size and considerable weight, the Africa twin cylinder is easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and can be used for enduro laps. The DCT version in particular is easy on the hand and prevents constant clutching, resulting in greater safety.

Good protection from the elements

Very smooth ride for commuting on the motorway

Good control of the bike despite its hefty weight due to the low seat height

Proven engine now with even more power

More feedback in colder months thanks to the new 19 inch front wheel

Navigation in the city with Google Maps on Apple Car Play

Apple CarPlay requires cable connection

annoying operating concept

uncomfortable seating position for tall drivers over long distances

seat somewhat uncomfortable
