Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT Updates

Wednesday, 11 September 2024 10:49 AM The 2024 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT has been refined with a new 19-inch front wheel and wider 110/80-19 tire, enhancing on-road stability and comfort. The suspension travel has been reduced to lower the center of gravity, improving slow-speed maneuverability. This change makes the bike more road-biased than its predecessor. I think this update will appeal to riders who split their time between on-road and off-road adventures.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 05:51 PM Honda has updated the engine of the Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT with a higher compression ratio of 10.5:1 and changes to the valve timing, intake ports, and ECU settings. This results in a 7% increase in maximum torque, now delivered at 5,500 rpm. The new exhaust system also contributes to the improved performance. This boost in torque should make the bike more responsive in various riding conditions.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 07:22 AM The 2024 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT features a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system that has been refined to benefit from the engines increased performance. The DCT now shifts down earlier and includes improved cornering detection and a more natural feathered feel on initial takeoff and between first and second gears. This should provide smoother and more intuitive shifting. I believe this refinement will make the DCT option even more appealing to riders.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 07:56 AM The Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES now comes with electronically controlled suspension, offering five suspension damper settings: hard, medium, soft, off-road, and a customizable “user” setting. This feature, combined with the adjustable windscreen and larger fuel tank, makes the bike highly versatile for long-distance touring. The electronic suspension adjustment is a significant upgrade for comfort and handling.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 02:17 PM Honda has introduced cruise control and throttle-by-wire with seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control and four power delivery modes (Tour, Urban, Gravel, and user-programmable) on the 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT. These features enhance the bikes usability for various riding conditions, making it a great choice for both on-road and off-road adventures. I think these features will significantly enhance the riding experience.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 12:05 PM The 2024 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT includes several comfort and convenience features such as heated grips, an ACC charging socket, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These features make the bike more comfortable and connected for long-distance travel. The integration of smartphone features is a welcome addition for modern riders.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 04:08 PM The new front fairing design on the 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT improves upper body wind deflection and aerodynamics. The bike also features a larger 5-way adjustable screen, offering maximum forward visibility or increased wind protection depending on the riders choice. This redesign should provide better comfort during long rides.

Saturday, 20 January 2024 11:52 AM The 2024 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT will be available in India, although the exact pricing and availability dates are yet to be confirmed. Given the global pricing, it is expected to be in the range of Rs. 18-20 lakhs, depending on the region and local taxes. I think this pricing will make it competitive in the adventure touring segment.

Wednesday, 10 January 2024 11:48 PM American Honda announced that the 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES will start at $17,599 for the manual transmission and $18,399 for the DCT in the US. While Indian pricing is not yet announced, this gives a hint of what to expect in terms of global pricing strategy. The bikes features and updates suggest it will be a premium offering.

Sunday, 19 November 2023 09:20 PM Honda has confirmed that the 2024 Africa Twin range, including the Adventure Sports DCT, will start arriving in dealerships in Europe in November 2024. This indicates that the global rollout is on track, and Indian buyers can expect the bike to arrive sometime after the European launch. I believe the wait will be worth it given the significant updates.
