AFRICA TWIN
Since its 2016 reintroduction, the legendary Africa Twin adventure-touring platform has undergone steady improvements 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.
