- The legendary adventure-touring platform delivers an improved riding experience
- Other returning models include CBR1000RR, Rebel 500/300
For its first new-product announcement of the calendar year, American Honda had announced the return of several popular motorcycle models.
May is the month when India will finally get their hands on Honda’s long-awaited, much-anticipated bike — the 2022 Africa Twin. According to dealerships and various dealers we have talked with here at BigWing.
I think it’s a very positive thing Honda is finally planning to launch this Indian-Dual Sport after so much hype and excitement surrounding it. Just like you, I was waiting for it anxiously, and now the wait seems to be over, which is excellent.
The Africa Twin adventure-touring platform is headlining this group. Including the sporty standard version and the mile-gobbling Adventure Sports SE. Both are offered either a manual gearbox or Honda’s advanced automatic Dual Clutch Transmission.
The Africa Twin is back with several focused refinements to improve the riding experience.
AFRICA TWIN
Since its 2016 reintroduction, the legendary Africa Twin adventure-touring platform has steadily improved to carry out its “True Adventure” ethos.
And that is once again the case for the 2022 model year.
The sporting- and off-road performance-oriented standard version comes with the same rear carrier as its more distance riding-oriented Adventure Sports ES sibling.
Meanwhile, that version gets a shorter windscreen for improved visibility. Both Africa Twin versions are compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
And both are available with either a manual gearbox or Honda’s advanced automatic Dual Clutch Transmission, which has a program change for 2022 delivering smoother shifting in the lower gears.
