Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports

The 2021 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports has been priced from Rs 15.96 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. This is the latest version of the adventure-tourer and it is being offered with a new colour option both for the DCT and manual transmission models. The new Africa Twin continues to be powered by the 1,084-cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that develops 99 hp at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 103 Nm at 6,000 rpm while being mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a DCT. The motorcycle also features a bolt-on aluminium subframe and a Dakar-inspired swing-arm. The six-axis Interial Measurement Unit (IMU) is crucial in controlling features including throttle-by-wire, Honda Selectable Torque Control, wheelie control, cornering ABS, rear lift control, and cornering detection. A massive 24.5-litre fuel-tank further complements the motorcycle’s touring credentials.

To optimize comfort, it comes equipped with a five-stage adjustable windscreen, adjustable seat, heated grips, and cruise control. For all the electronic gadgets’ charging needs, the motorcycle also has charging sockets on board. Information is relayed to the rider through a 6.5-inch, TFT touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity. The motorcycle comes equipped with cornering headlamps that automatically illuminate the blind spots in corners, depending on the speed and lean angle.
