2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ESREADY FOR EVEN BIGGER ADVENTURES Lighter. More powerful. And with more features than everthats the new 2020 Africa Twin. Ready for even bigger adventures. Happy to carry you even farther. And offering the Honda quality, ruggedness and dependability you need when youre miles from home. Weve taken what we think is the worlds best adventure bike and made it even better, adding a whole suite of features including cruise control and a large touch-panel multi-information display thats Apple CarPlay compatible. Our standard Africa Twin is a great choice for serious off-road enthusiasts. And if youre into a little long-distance adventure touring, our Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES models are loaded with even more features, like electronically controlled suspension, an adjustable windscreen, larger fuel tank, heated grips, tubeless tires, and more. Lets get out there and ride! Features may include: POWER NEW, BIGGER 1084cc ENGINE We gave our new CRF1100L Africa Twin a bigger engine for 2020. By increasing the stroke by 6.4mm, you get more power and torque everywhere from idle to redline. Youll have more grunt down low, and cruise easier on the open road. PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE LAYOUT The Africa Twins parallel-twin engine layout makes the bike shorter front-to-back. That means the front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine, shortening wheelbase and making the bike more nimble off road and on pavement. ENGINEERING CRUISE CONTROL Heres one of the worst-kept secrets in the motorcycling worldHondas Africa Twins make great long-distance touring bikes. To that end weve equipped our 2020 models with cruise control, just like our Gold Wings. Your next adventure really starts a couple of hundred miles away? No problem! THROTTLE BY WIRE Our throttle-by-wire system greatly expands the Africa Twins versatility. First, you get seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control. Second, you can choose from four power delivery modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, and a fourth thats user-programmable. First used on our RC213V-S, throttle-by-wire is an excellent example of how Hondas technology works for you. CONVENIENCE SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION The Africa Twin features a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. Its a proven, tough design thats a little bit lighter, too. LARGE FUEL TANKS Our Africa Twin and Africa Twin DCT feature 18.8-liter (5.0-gallon) fuel tanks, while our two Adventure Sports ES models increase that capacity to 24-liters (6.3 gallons), enough for super-sized adventures. HANDLING ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION The Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES and Adventure Sports ES DCT are equipped with SHOWA EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) electronically controlled suspension. You can choose between five suspension damper settings: hard, medium, soft, and off-road, as well as a customizable user setting. Its easy to switch between them, too, so you can choose one for the highway and another when the going gets rougher. SEMI-DOUBLE-CRADLE-FRAME The Africa Twins semi-double-cradle frame layout has been proven in countless Honda dirtbikes. In principle its similar to the design we use on our CRF450R Rally bikea machine thats designed to perform in the challenging Dakar rally and similar events.
