- Features new colours and graphics across the range
- Available in three variants
- Remains unchanged mechanically
Honda has officially unveiled the 2026 CRF1100L Africa Twin range for the global markets. The motorcycle gets an updated colour and graphics palette across the lineup. The new Africa Twin retains its mechanicals, but features eye-catching liveries across variants.
The standard model and the electronic suspension variant are offered in three paint schemes: Grand Prix Red, Matt Ballistic Black Metallic, and Pearl Glare White, with the latter donning golden wheels for added flair. The electronic suspension variant sports Showa’s electronically adjustable suspension for optimised damping across riding conditions.
Meanwhile, the Adventure Sports variant is available in Matt Iridium Gray Metallic and Pearl Glare White, featuring iconic HRC Tricolore accents. Under the bodywork, the motorcycle uses a 1,084cc, parallel-twin engine, producing 100.5bhp and 112Nm of peak torque. Transmission choices include a traditional six-speed gearbox and Honda’s DCT unit.
The Honda Africa Twin was previously on sale in India, but the company quitely discontinued it due to the new BS6 Phase 2 emission norms. Now, with the updated 2026 model unveiled globally, the adventure bike is expected to make a comeback later this year. We hope Honda introduces both variants, standard and Adventure Sports, of the Africa Twin in India this time around.
