2026 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES Pearl White Go anywhere, every time The original, and still the adventure touring standard, our Africa Twin is the go-anywhere Honda. Each model pairs a potent 1084cc Unicam® engine with real-world comfort and available DCT. Choose the standard model with its 21-inch front wheel to journey deeper off-road, or opt for the Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES with electronic suspension and 19-inch front wheel for improved on-road performance. Never stop exploring. Features May Include: 1084cc twin-cylinder engine - Our narrow 1084cc Unicam® parallel-twin engine delivers torque smoothly throughout the rpm range, making it great for everything from off-road riding to all-day highway cruising. Unicam® engine design - The Unicam® engine design, with its compact cylinder-head layout, allows for optimal engine placement and superior performance in terms of both handling-related weight distribution and airflow-related horsepower. Talk about a win-win. Parallel-twin engine layout - Thanks to the parallel-twin engine layout, the bike's front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine. This shortens the wheelbase, making the bike more agile. Refined air intake - An innovative twin intake system supplies a redesigned airbox equipped with dual vertical filtration elements, ensuring exceptional engine performance even during prolonged use in dusty environments. 10.5:1 compression ratio - With a compression ratio of 10.5:1 and midrange-tuned valve timing, horsepower is increased throughout the rpm range, which is hard not to love. Large exhaust pipes - Increasing the diameter of the muffler-exit pipes on both models improves performance and sound quality. Compact dual-catalyzer exhaust - Using the same muffler-valve technology as our CBR1000RR Superbike, the exhaust helps lower emissions while aiding rideability and increasing power output. 270-degree-phase crank - Most twins use a 180-degree crank, but the Africa Twin family has a 270-degree design. This setup provides a unique power delivery that’s easier to modulate in terrain where traction is challenging, not to mention a unique sound. Dry-sump engine - A dry-sump engine design is really the only viable option for a big adventure bike. The more compact sump increases ground clearance, eliminating the main vulnerability of a conventional wet sump powerplant. Long-travel front suspension - The standard models come equipped with a fully adjustable 45mm Showa® inverted fork, offering an impressive 9.1 inches of travel—the most in the 1000cc ADV class. The Adventure Sports ES models feature 8.3 inches of front travel, ideally suited to complement the more street-oriented 19-inch front wheel. Selectable ABS - Both models feature a three-mode Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), allowing you to choose between On-Road, Off-Road, or a rear-ABS delete mode for enhanced performance during more aggressive dirt riding. Low center of gravity - By placing heavy components like the battery near the bike's center of gravity and using a compact engine, we've created a platform for excellent handling. Cornering ABS - Controlled by the 6-axis IMU, we designed the intelligent Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to apply the correct amount of braking based on the rider’s lean angle. Electronically controlled suspension - The Adventure Sports ES models come equipped with advanced Showa EERA® (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) suspension. Fed by the bike’s 6-axis IMU, it continuously adjusts damping—refreshing every millisecond—to match the terrain and your inputs. Choose from Soft, Mid, Hard, Off-Road, or User settings, and easily fine-tune preload directly from the handlebars. Semi-double-cradle frame - The lightweight semi-double-cradle steel frame is similar in design to those found on our factory HRC Rally race bike—a machine built for peak performance in the most challenging conditions with a history of winning the Dakar Rally twice. Steel frame - This frame is almost 4 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and it has a stiffer steering head designed for added feedback and improved handling. Four-piston calipers - Twin four-piston front brake calipers deliver strong stopping performance, and their radial-mount design increases stiffness, improving feel and control. Lightweight swingarm - Thanks to technology developed for our CRF450R motocrossers, the swingarm is both lightweight and sturdy enough to handle the demands of the Africa Twin family. Hollow steel axles - Large-diameter hollow steel axles are used in the front and rear. They are extremely strong, durable, and lightweight, a combination that could describe just about everything on this bike. Rear suspension - The standard Africa Twin models feature fully adjustable rising-rate Pro-Link® rear suspension with 8.7 inches of rear-wheel travel.
