The long-distance ready CRF1100L Africa Twin tours into 2025 with a range of all-new colours and updated graphics that emphasise the bike’s Superior Adventure styling concept.
It’s been almost four decades since the Honda XRV650 Africa Twin first rolled into Europe and while the motorcycle that now bears its name – first launched for 16YM as the CRF1000L Africa Twin – was a brand-new machine from the wheels up, it fully inherited the essence and spirit of what made the original so popular.
Mechanically unchanged for 25YM, the CRF1100L Africa Twin retains its core off-road abilities, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine. Its 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW to offer exhilarating performance both on- and off-road.
Three chassis options are available: The CRF1100L Africa Twin, with standard Showa suspension, and the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES, which features Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERATM). Showa EERATM offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move. The CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports variant utilises a 19” front wheel for impressive front grip, and better on-road stability.
The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in three paint options:
- Grand Prix Red
- Matt Ballistic Black Metallic
- Pearl Glare White with **NEW** Pearl Hawkseye Blue Metallic Tricolour (only available on the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES)
Whilst the 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will be available in two paint options, both featuring bold new graphics, with the Pearl Glare White (Tricolour) paying homage to the iconic tricolour colour schemes of the XRV750 Africa Twin.
- **NEW** Matt Iridium Gray Metallic
- Pearl Glare White (Tricolour)
