The motorcycle, which was launched in Brazil in 2020 (already as a 2021 model), carries a significant name. The acronym CRF stands for Cross Racing Four (a competition line from Honda), and the name Africa Twin is a tribute to the bikes that won the Paris-Dakar Rally, reinforcing its vocation for adventure.

The Heart of the Motorcycle: The 99.3 Horsepower Parallel Twin Engine

With a 1,084cc engine and 99.3 horsepower, the Honda CRF 1100 L Africa Twin reaches 216 km/h and achieves up to 18 km per liter

The engine of the Africa Twin is a parallel twin with 1,084cc, featuring a SOHC valve train and eight valves. It delivers 99.3 horsepower and a torque of 10.5 kgf.m, providing ample power for any situation.

The setup works with a six-speed transmission and a slipper clutch, which prevents rear wheel locking during aggressive downshifts.

Cutting-Edge Technology: A Complete Electronics Package

The Honda CRF 1100 L is a motorcycle packed with technology. It comes factory-equipped with:

Electronic throttle and six riding modes (Urban, Tour, Gravel, Off-Road, and two customizable).

Traction control with seven levels, engine brake control, and an anti-wheelie system (which prevents the front wheel from lifting).

6.5-inch TFT display, colored and touch-sensitive (when the motorcycle is stopped).

Connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which mirrors smartphone apps, such as GPS and music, directly on the motorcycle’s screen.

Full LED lighting, cruise control, and USB charging port.

The Two Versions: Standard Africa Twin vs. Adventure Sports

The Honda CRF 1100 L is offered in two main versions in Brazil. The entry-level version, like the one tested, and the Adventure Sports, which is more complete and focused on long trips.

The Adventure Sports is distinguished by having a larger tank (24.8 liters), adjustable windshield, electronic suspension, adaptive headlight for curves, and larger engine and sump guards.

Performance in Practice: Fuel Consumption and Top Speed

The Africa Twin is a high-performance motorcycle. Its top speed is electronically limited to 216 km/h, a mark that, according to the test, the motorcycle reaches with ease.

Fuel consumption varies with riding style:

Aggressive Riding: Consumption ranges between 10 and 12 km/l.
Normal Riding: In a more leisurely ride, the motorcycle can achieve between 16 and 18 km/l.

The Price and Points of Attention

The price of the Honda CRF 1100 L in the manual transmission (MT) version has a suggested retail price of R$ 81,100 (excluding freight). However, the price practiced at dealerships is around R$ 89,990.

Despite being very well-equipped, the review pointed out some areas for improvement. The motorcycle is highly sought after for theft, necessitating insurance. The handlebar buttons are not illuminated, which makes nighttime use difficult. And, for a motorcycle in this price range, the absence of a quickshifter (which allows gear changes without using the clutch) in the manual version is a negative point.

The Price and Points of Attention

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Gepard 1A2: the armored vehicle that fires 1,100 rounds per minute and became a shield against drones in Brazil.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

Man loses his job, faces a 55,000 km bike ride through more than 50 countries, endures desert, heat of 51 degrees, accidents, and isolation on a journey that began with the goal of reaching India.

If you are obtaining or renewing your driver’s license, you need to know this now: a new law divides the fee into stages, and those who choose only the digital license will not have to pay for the printed document in 2026.

After decades of failed attempts, Brazil is once again looking to space with an orbital rocket measuring 12 meters, weighing 12 tons, costing R$ 189 million, and scheduled for launch in 2026, in a new race to finally achieve autonomous access to orbit.

The Earth will plunge into a few minutes of darkness in broad daylight in August 2026, when a total solar eclipse transforms the sky into one of the most impressive astronomical phenomena in recent years.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.
