2024 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES

The new CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports receives major upgrades to further enhance its continent-busting travel abilities. Standard-fit Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA™) suspension – with a reduction in stroke length – is matched to a 19-inch front wheel, 110/80-19 tyre and lower seat height. There’s also a 7% boost to peak torque for the 1,084cc engine. New style for the upper fairing is both more muscular and protective. As before, a full electronics package uses a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit to manage HSTC, cornering ABS, Wheelie Control, Rear Lift Control and cornering detection functionality on the DCT version. Practicality comes in the shape of multiple riding modes, standard fit cruise control, heated grips, USB port, ACC charger and full colour 6.5-inch TFT touchscreen incorporating Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto® and Bluetooth connectivity. Dual LED headlights feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Cornering Lights. The DCT option receives improved feel from launch and at slow speed. Four tailor-made Genuine Honda Accessory Packs – Urban, Rally, Travel and Adventure – are ready to create the perfect traveling partner. For 24YM the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will be available in the following paint options, that both feature bold big logo graphics: Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and Pearl Glare White (Tricolour)

Five suspension modes are available: 1. MID sits between hard and soft, for easy handling in a wide range of situations. It is automatically selected with Urban riding mode. 2. HARD is stable, responsive and the firmest damping for two-up and fully laden touring. It is automatically selected with Tour riding mode. 3. SOFT offers a comfortable, secure ride on poor roads with lowest damping force. It is automatically selected with Gravel riding mode. 4. OFF-ROAD gives optimum dirt performance, with gradually increasing fork damping relative to stroke speed and firmer all-round rear shock damping. It is automatically selected with Off-road riding mode. 5. Whereas the above suspension settings are automatically selected according to the riding mode, in USER Riding Mode, the rider can adjust spring preload finely, through 24 steps, front and rear.
