View Page2026 HONDA AFRICA TWIN – BUILT FOR REAL ADVENTURE IN SAN DIEGO AND BEYOND
The 2026 Honda Africa Twin (CRF1100L) is built for riders who want a true connection to the terrain, the machine, and the journey ahead. This is the manual-transmission version—the one for riders who want full control of every shift, every climb, and every mile. Whether you're carving through Southern California canyon roads, exploring desert fire roads, or heading out on a multi-day adventure ride, the Africa Twin delivers a balanced combination of power, precision, and long-distance capability.
At the heart of the bike is Honda’s proven 1084cc parallel-twin engine, tuned for strong low-end torque and smooth, predictable delivery across the rev range. It’s the kind of power that works just as well crawling through technical off-road terrain as it does cruising comfortably on the highway. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, this Africa Twin gives experienced riders the level of engagement and control that defines real adventure riding.
The chassis and suspension setup are designed to handle everything from pavement to rugged off-road terrain. With a 21-inch front wheel, long-travel Showa suspension, and a well-balanced geometry, the bike feels stable at speed while still being agile enough for technical riding. The adjustable seat height and manageable weight make it approachable for a wide range of riders without sacrificing capability.
For riders in the San Diego area, the Africa Twin hits that perfect balance—comfortable enough for long rides up the coast or out to Arizona, but rugged enough to explore everything from Anza-Borrego to the mountains above Julian. It’s a bike that doesn’t force you to choose between street and dirt—it excels at both.
