Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > Africa Twin DCT
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Honda re-enters the adventure touring segment with a serious off-roader. The Africa Twin uses a 998 cc parallel twin and features Dakar-esque styling. But its off-road capability is enhanced by long-travel suspension, and a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, the only bike in the segment using this combination, which offers a wider selection of serious off-road tires than conventional ADV bike wheels. Off-road ABS and traction control are standard and can be switched off. The DCT model adds automatic transmission for an additional $1000, which is an odd choice for an adventure bike but seems to works well according to all the reviews.
