Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.

The Crossfire 500 XC is also a real statement in the A2 class as a scrambler variant that does not have to hide from the established competition! Its in-line two-cylinder engine, which has matured in the meantime, is still no performance miracle, but it is easily enough to keep the bike happy in any situation. Despite higher suspension travel and chunky tyres, the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC still feels at home on the road, but on tougher terrain, the insufficiently damped shock absorbs the shock quickly. If the front brake needed a little less hand force, there would probably be nothing essential to complain about in this price/performance class.
