Honda European Media Newsroom press release

New colour for 25YM Africa Twin Adventure Sports

·         Revised graphics across all variants

Mechanically unchanged for 25YM, the CRF1100L Africa Twin retains its core off-road abilities, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine. Its 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW to offer exhilarating performance both on- and off-road.

The CRF1100L Africa Twin itself will continue to be available in two variants – standard and ‘ES’ – with different suspension types: the standard fully-adjustable Showa suspension, and the Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERATM), which offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move.

The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in three paint options:

• Grand Prix Red – with revised graphics
• Matt Ballistic Black Metallic – with new red accents
• Pearl Glare White with revised Tricolore graphics (available exclusively on the ‘ES’ version)

The CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports variant offers even longer range than its sibling thanks to its 24.8 litre fuel tank, and continues to use the 19” front wheel introduced for 24YM to further elevate on-road handling.

The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will be available in two paint options:

• **NEW** Matt Iridium Gray Metallic – a stylish new colour unique to the Adventure Sports
• Pearl Glare White – classic ‘Tricolore’ with revised graphics
