2026 Honda Africa Twin details
Fresh colours and graphics across the range
The standard CRF1100L Africa Twin and Africa Twin Electronic Suspension variants will be available in three new colour options: Grand Prix Red, Matt Ballistic Black Metallic, and Pearl Glare White. On the other hand, the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports gets two new paint schemes: Matt Iridium Gray Metallic and Pearl Glare White, the latter of which features the iconic HRC Tricolore livery and gold wheels.
Mechanically, the 2026 Africa Twin remains unchanged. All variants continue to be powered by the 1,084cc parallel-twin engine that produces 102hp at 7,500rpm and 112Nm at 5,500rpm, with Honda’s DCT available as an option across the range.
The Africa Twin was previously on sale here, but Honda quietly pulled it from the market after BS6 Phase 2 norms kicked in. The motorcycle is expected to return to our market in 2026, and this time, Honda might offer both the standard Africa Twin and the Adventure Sports variant, whereas previously only the Adventure Sports was available here.
