Chassis and Suspension Innovations
The 2024 Africa Twin models introduce the Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA™), a state-of-the-art suspension system that elevates the riding experience to new heights.
Dynamic Suspension Adjustability
The Showa EERA™ offers a range of suspension settings, from SOFT to HARD, OFF-ROAD, and USER-customizable modes. This adaptability means the bike can seamlessly transition from smooth highways to rugged trails, providing optimal damping in all conditions.
On-the-Fly Adjustments
The true marvel of the EERA™ system lies in its ability to allow adjustments on the move. Using the 6.5-inch touchscreen display, riders can tweak the rear spring preload to match their riding style, load, or terrain, ensuring the bike always performs at its best.
Chassis Upgrades
The CRF1100L Africa Twin maintains its focus on off-road prowess with a 21-inch front wheel, now shod with tubeless Metzler Karoo Street tires for quick, hassle-free puncture repairs. This choice of tires strikes an ideal balance between off-road grip and on-road agility.
Adventure Sports’ Enhanced Road Manners
In contrast, the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports model slightly shifts its stance towards on-road performance. Introducing a 19-inch front wheel and reducing suspension travel improve front-end feedback and grip, especially under loaded touring or two-up riding demands. These changes subtly shift the bike’s character, making it an even more compelling choice for long-distance road adventures.
These chassis and suspension innovations exemplify Honda’s dedication to creating motorcycles that are powerful, versatile, and exceptionally rider-friendly. The 2024 CRF1100L Africa Twin and Adventure Sports models stand as pinnacles of this philosophy, offering an exhilarating and confidence-inspiring riding experience.
