The Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a motorcycle that needs no introduction. A legendary name in the adventure touring segment, the Africa Twin has carved a niche for itself with its unwavering reliability, proven off-road prowess, and comfortable on-road manners. The 2025 iteration promises to elevate the experience even further, making it a compelling choice for riders seeking an all-conquering adventure companion.
A Legacy of Dakar Victories
The Africa Twin's lineage stretches back to the iconic NXR750, a four-time Dakar Rally champion. This heritage of conquering unforgiving terrains is ingrained in the DNA of the CRF1100L Adventure Sports, making it a motorcycle that thrives on challenges.
Engineered for Adventure
At the heart of the Africa Twin Adventure Sports lies a potent 1,084cc parallel-twin engine. Tuned for enhanced low- and mid-range torque, this engine delivers impressive pulling power precisely when you need it most – on challenging inclines or while navigating loose gravel. While the peak power remains at a healthy 100.5 horsepower, the increased torque of 112 Nm arriving at a lower 5,500 rpm translates to a more responsive and exhilarating riding experience.
Commanding Presence, Agile Handling
One of the most significant changes for 2025 is the adoption of a 19-inch front wheel. This switch translates to sharper handling characteristics on tarmac stretches, making the Africa Twin Adventure Sports feel more planted and precise while carving corners. However, the larger 21-inch front wheel option remains available for those who prioritize uncompromising off-road capability.
Electronic Suspension for Unequaled Comfort
The 2025 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports comes equipped with Showa-EERA™ Electronic Suspension as standard. This sophisticated system automatically adjusts damping based on riding conditions, ensuring optimal comfort and control on any terrain.
Comfort on the Move
Long-distance adventure rides demand a motorcycle that prioritizes rider comfort. The Africa Twin Adventure Sports delivers in this regard with a redesigned seat that offers excellent support and a lower seat height for improved accessibility. Additionally, the five-level adjustable windscreen provides customizable wind protection, ensuring a fatigue-free ride even on extended journeys.
Fuel Capacity for Epic Adventures
A large 24.8-liter fuel tank equips the Africa Twin Adventure Sports to conquer vast distances between fuel stops. This translates to less time spent planning fuel logistics and more time spent enjoying the ride.
