EICMA 2023 also marks the public debut of the renewed Africa Twin. For 2024, Honda's adventure flagships - the CRF1100L Africa Twin and the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports - have been the subject of a substantial update that has led to increased performance, improved comfort and richer standard equipment. and a further step forward in terms of driving pleasure and fun.The popular 1,084cc parallel twin for the 2024 model offers an increase in performance, with more torque and power at low and mid-range speeds. Maximum power remains 102 HP but the 7% increase in maximum torque leads the engine to deliver a peak of 112 Nm at 5,500 rpm.The DCT gearbox has been revised to take full advantage of the increase in performance, with downshifts that take place at a higher rpm, with an improved curve recognition function and with an even more progressive release of the clutches which facilitates starts and maneuvers at low speed. speed.The CRF1100L Africa Twin - the more off-road oriented version - keeps the wheels in the 21" front and 18" rear sizes. (but now tubeless) and is available for the first time in two versions: the standard, with mechanical Showa suspension, and the "ES", with Showa EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) electronic suspension. To make long journeys on the road more comfortable, on the redesigned and aggressive fairing, there is a new oversized windscreen adjustable to 5 levels.The CRF1100L Africa Twin, with mechanical suspension, is available in Italy only in the 'Grand Prix Red' color and only with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES, with electronic suspension, is available in Italy with both manual and DCT gearboxes but not in red. It also features heated grips and a 12V socket as standard.On the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports the most obvious change is the update of the front end with the new 19" front rim, with 110/80 radial tire and the 20 mm reduction in the travel of the standard Showa EERA electronic suspension, features which give greater dynamism to road driving without affecting the ability to tackle dirt roads.
EICMA will also mark the public debut of the 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin and its Adventure Sports variant, which carry a series of performance and practical updates for 24YM.Both models benefit from a 7% increase in maximum torque – delivered 750rpm earlier in the rpm range – thanks to changes in compression ratio, valve timing, intake ports and ECU settings. Revisions to the Dual Clutch Transmission gearbox bring earlier downshifts to match the new engine performance, improved cornering detection and a more natural feel on initial take off and between first and second gears.Practicality is improved with the addition of tubeless tyres for easier roadside repair, and a larger, 5 way adjustable screen. The CRF1100L Africa Twin itself will now be available for the first time with the option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA), which offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move via the 6.5in touchscreen display.The road-going capabilities of the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports are heightened by a new 19” front wheel and wider front tyre, plus more weather protection from a broader front fairing and the larger screen, plus greater comfort from the more thickly-padded seat.

Since its 2016 reintroduction, the legendary Africa Twin adventure-touring platform has undergone steady improvements aimed at carrying out its "True Adventure" ethos, and that is once again the case for the 2022 model year. The sporting- and off-road performance-oriented standard version now comes with the same rear carrier as its more distance riding-oriented Adventure Sports ES sibling. Meanwhile, that version gets a shorter windscreen for improved visibility. Both Africa Twin versions are compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and both are available with either a manual gearbox or Honda's advanced automatic Dual Clutch Transmission, which has a program change for 2022, delivering smoother shifting in the lower gears.
