The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. We say bring it on. Inspired by the legend of Dakar with hard-hitting performance and styling, straight from a rally racing stage, the CRF1100 Africa Twin is born to perform when the going gets tough.
Features may include:
Engine & DrivetrainThe CRF1100 Africa Twin's 1,084 cc parallel-twin engine pulls hard from 2,500 rpm all the way to the redline. A 270-degree phased crankshaft and uneven firing interval give a distinctive sound and feel while helping to produce strong, linear power and instant response anywhere in the rev range.
The exhaust system incorporates a variable Exhaust Control Valve (ECV) similar to the unit fitted to the CBR1000RR. It enhances both engine performance and efficiency as it opens at higher rpm and gives a pleasing exhaust-note ‘pulse’ at lower revs.
Chassis & SuspensionThe strength and rigidity balance of the steel semi-double-cradle frame helps to boost off-road ability while also reinforcing all-round on-road manners. The Africa Twin is engineered to handle the most rugged off-road adventures while providing the comfort of a touring motorcycle and the everyday competence of a great all-rounder or day-to-day commuter.
To ensure a perfect fit for riders of different sizes, the Africa Twin boasts a two-position seat (870 mm standard and 850 mm in the low position) with an easy reach to the handlebar and a comfortable upright riding position. Standing or sitting, the Africa Twin keeps you in control.
Additional FeaturesThe Africa Twin comes equipped with a sturdy aluminum rear rack with built-in passenger grab rails, providing a secure location to strap on a weekend- or a weeks-worth of gear.
