Over three decades after first rolling into Europe , the Honda Africa Twin is a name that is still synonymous with history and adventure . For 2022 the CRF1100L Africa Twin and its continent- crossing sibling , the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports , both feature new practical upgrades , refined Dual Clutch Transmission ( DCT ) settings and striking new looks .
For 2022 both the Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports receive updates to further increase their daily practicality . The CRF1100L Africa Twin now features an aluminum rear carrier as standard , and the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports benefits from a new 110mm lower 5-stage adjustable screen that improves visibility and doesn ’ t compromise on weather protection .
Both DCT versions of the Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports are updated for 2022 , with new refined settings to deliver even smoother handling in the first two gears from a standing start and at low speeds . Honda have sold over 200,000 DCT equipped motorcycles across Europe since the system was first introduced on the VFR1200F in 2009 , a testament to its broad appeal and acceptance in the marketplace .
To complete the 2022 upgrades , both models receive striking new colour and graphic updates . The CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports features new ‘ Cracked Terrain ’ graphics and a new ‘ Big Logo ’ design with revised colour schemes that feature all-new black aluminum side covers and a bold red rear subframe .
