2025 Honda Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT is the brand's flagship adventure-touring motorcycle, equipped with premium features designed for long-distance travel and performance. Key features include advanced electronic suspension, a sophisticated automatic transmission, and comprehensive rider aids managed via a TFT touchscreen display.     

 Engine and Performance Features

• Powerful Engine: Features a 1,084cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree phased crankshaft for strong, linear power delivery and a distinctive sound.
• Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): A six-speed automatic transmission with four automatic shift modes (including Sport modes) and a manual mode, allowing gear changes via handlebar triggers.
• Throttle-by-Wire: Enables precise control and management of power output, engine braking, and other electronic systems.
• Selectable Riding Modes: Offers six modes (Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road, and two customizable User modes) that tailor power delivery, ABS, and traction control settings to specific conditions. 

  Chassis and Suspension Features

• Showa EERA™ Suspension: The "ES" denotes Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment suspension, which automatically adjusts damping levels in real-time based on speed and lean angle data from the IMU. It offers five preset modes (Hard, Mid, Soft, Off-Road, User) and electronic rear spring preload adjustment.
• Road-focused Wheels: Equipped with a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup with tubeless tires for improved on-road handling and stability, a key difference from the more off-road-oriented standard model.
• Cornering ABS: The anti-lock braking system is linked to a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to provide optimal braking pressure even when leaned over in corners, with an off-road mode available.
• Large Fuel Tank: A high-capacity 6.6-gallon (24.8 L) fuel tank provides extended range for long-distance touring, compared to the 5.0-gallon tank on the standard Africa Twin. 

  Technology and Comfort Features

• 6.5-inch TFT Touchscreen Display: A large, glove-friendly display provides access to all bike settings, including riding modes, suspension, and connectivity features.
• Connectivity: Features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, allowing access to navigation, music, and calls via a connected Bluetooth headset.
• Enhanced Weather Protection: Includes a larger front fairing, a tall, 5-position adjustable windscreen, and heated grips as standard equipment for improved comfort on long rides.
• Cornering Lights: Three-stage LED cornering lights use IMU data to automatically adjust illumination when cornering for added safety.
