2024 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Range
Distinct Model Specialization:
The new 2024 lineup emphasizes individualized experiences with the Adventure Sports edition now tailored for a more road-centric adventure, while the standard Africa Twin maintains its unwavering commitment to off-road excellence.
Shared Enhancements Across Both Models:
Both models retain the reliable 1084cc parallel twin engine, yet for 2024, the CRF1100L range exhibits notable performance improvements in power and torque across lower and mid rev ranges. With a 7% boost in maximum torque (now at 82.6 ft-lbs delivered at 5,500rpm), coupled with enhancements in compression ratio, valve timing, intake ports, and ECU settings, these refinements amplify each engine stroke’s performance.
Honda’s engineering finesse extends to the exhaust system, contributing to increased performance with a newly designed muffler delivering a harmonious pulse note at lower RPMs and a robust bass tone as revs escalate.
Automatic transmission remains a popular choice in the Africa Twin range, offering both manual and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) options. The 2024 DCT system has undergone refinement, aligning seamlessly with the engine’s enhanced performance, enabling earlier downshifting, improved cornering detection, and a smoother initial take-off experience.
Additionally, both models feature redesigned front fairings, enhancing upper body wind deflection and optimizing aerodynamics for an unparalleled riding experience.

Suspension travel has been reduced to 8.3”/7.9” (210/200mm), complementing the handling dynamics of the new wheel and tire setup, thereby enhancing maneuverability and lowering the center of gravity.
The seat has been reengineered with revised cushion thickness and a lower setting at 835/855mm, while a low seat option further reduces seat height to 795/815mm, catering to varied rider preferences on the Honda Africa Twin.
