Robust and Comfortable Big Trail, Made for Long Distances
By integrating safety features, refined cycling dynamics, and a automated DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) system, the CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT reaffirms its position as one of the most complete and versatile big trails on the market.
The Africa Twin is synonymous with resilience and versatility.
The Adventure Sports version was specially designed for long trips, offering more comfort without giving up its off-road vocation.
Among the differentials of this expensive Honda motorcycle are the expanded fuel tank to 24.8 liters, cruise control, and tubeless tires, which provide more safety and convenience in case of punctures.
Additionally, there are handlebar protectors, skid plate, and SHOWA EERA™ electronic suspension, which automatically adjusts according to riding modes and terrain type.
Suspension and Structure Inherited from the Dakar Rally
The structure of the CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports has competitive DNA.
The steel frame, aluminum subframe, and the rear swingarm are derived from the CRF 450 motorcycles used in the demanding Dakar Rally.
The result is a light and agile motorcycle, even being a big trail. This improves stability and control on uneven terrains, as well as reducing fatigue over long distances.
The seat height, which can be adjusted between 850 mm and 870 mm, offers more comfort and safety for riders of different heights.
There is also an option to purchase an even lower seat as an accessory.
DCT Transmission: The Technology That Redefines Riding
One of the biggest differentiators of the Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT lies in the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
This is a dual-clutch system that performs gear shifts automatically and almost imperceptibly.
In this system, one clutch is responsible for odd gears and another for even ones, both pre-engaged, ensuring fast, smooth, and continuous shifts.
This eliminates the need for a clutch lever or traditional gear lever.
The rider can choose from three gear shift settings: one manual, controlled by buttons on the handlebar, and two automatic, which adapt to the riding style and terrain.
This exclusive Honda technology in motorcycles is comparable to the paddle shifters of sports cars and provides a much more intuitive and fluid driving experience, both on-road and off-road.
High-Level Safety to Confront Any Terrain
The CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT doesn’t skimp on safety features.
The ABS braking system with Cornering ABS is integrated with the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which monitors six axes of the motorcycle to apply ideal braking in curves, considering tilt and deceleration.
This system offers two distinct modes for use on-road or off-road and can even be completely turned off, if the rider seeks more freedom on technical sections.
Another important feature is the Wheelie Control, which works to prevent the front wheel from losing contact with the ground during sudden accelerations.
There are three levels of intervention, as well as an option to deactivate, offering total customization to the rider’s style.
The motorcycle is also equipped with the Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) — a system that automatically activates the hazard lights during hard braking, alerting drivers behind and preventing rear-end collisions.
Power Controlled with Electronic Precision
The engine of the Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT is a 1,084 cm³ twin-cylinder engine that delivers 99.3 horsepower and 10.5 kgf.m of torque.
Along with the DCT transmission and the lightweight structure, the combination offers a vigorous and progressive acceleration, whether on the road or in the mud.
The secret lies in the Throttle by Wire (TBW) system — an electronic throttle that interprets the intensity of acceleration and adjusts torque and power with millimeter precision.
This ensures quick responses and better control over the motorcycle’s behavior in different situations.
Embedded Technology That Impresses
The Honda CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT also stands out for its embedded electronics.
The motorcycle offers six riding modes, which directly influence engine braking, power delivery, traction control, ABS, and even the G-switch system (when available).
These modes are accessible via the TFT touchscreen display, allowing detailed and customized settings for each journey.
For those who want to explore all the possibilities of the motorcycle even before sitting on the seat, Honda provides a digital simulator of the Multi Information Display (MID) — ideal for learning the controls and features straight from a computer or smartphone.
CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT: Dimensions, Brakes, and Wheels Prepared for Adventure
The CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT is equipped with golden spoked wheels, 21 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear, mounted with tubeless tires, which are safer and more practical.
The braking system features a 310 mm disc up front and a 256 mm disc in the rear, providing excellent braking capacity, even in extreme conditions.
The Honda CRF 1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT is undoubtedly one of the most expensive Hondas available in Brazil, but it is also one of the most complete.
With a refined design, advanced safety technologies, and the exclusive DCT transmission, it delivers a premium package for those who do not compromise on adventure — with maximum comfort and control.
Manufactured on national soil, the big trail represents Honda’s commitment to offering cutting-edge products to the Brazilian public, aligning innovation and reliability in a motorcycle ready for any journey.
