In addition to the platform-wide updates like a redesigned intake/exhaust, adjusted valve timing, increased compression, revised styling, and updated electronics, the Adventure Sports versions now benefit from a lower seat height that improves on-road handling, thanks to shorter suspension travel and a new 19-inch front wheel. To maximize rider comfort and convenience for long days in the saddle, the Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES continues to boast features like electronically controlled suspension, heated grips, and a larger fuel tank, and it’s available with a manual transmission or DCT. Africa Twin The Africa Twin has always embodied the spirit of adventure, allowing riders to explore further and discover new routes with confidence. For 2024, refinements to the standard Africa Twin versions further their capability to navigate off-road terrain while also boosting performance and comfort on the pavement. A new five-position windscreen, tubeless tires and revised fairing design enhance the Africa Twin’s versatility and comfort. Plus, with platform-wide updates like the revised valve timing, increased compression, redesigned intake/exhaust and updated electronics, this adventure icon delivers an incredible riding experience across a wide variety of conditions. 2024 Honda Africa Twin FEATURES & BENEFITS The Africa Twin embodies the spirit of adventure, allowing riders to explore further and discover new routes with confidence. Available in four unique versions (all of which receive significant updates for 2024), the standard Africa Twin and the Adventure Sports ES are now more specialized, enhancing all-around performance. Refinements to the standard Africa Twin (available with a manual transmission or DCT) expand its ability to navigate off-road terrain, while the Adventure Sports versions are more on-road focused, with shorter-travel suspension and a 19-inch front wheel. All versions benefit from updated electronic settings, a redesigned intake/exhaust layout, engine updates, revised styling, tubeless tires, and more. The legendary Africa Twin lineup enables a wide range of adventures, from remote, off-grid trails to scenic mountain roads and everything in between. NEW FOR 2024 Adventure Sports versions feature a new 19-inch front wheel and shorter suspension travel for improved on-road handling. Six-axis Bosch IMU control; cornering ABS provides sure-footed braking and features an off-road setting. Tubeless tires (previously only fitted on the Adventure Sports versions) are now also fitted on the 21/18-inch wheels of the standard versions. The 1,084cc twin-cylinder engine generates stronger power and torque in the low- to mid-rpm range. Compression ratio raised to from 10.1:1 to 10.5:1, alongside development of ECU settings, valve timing, intake and exhaust. Dual Clutch Transmission is updated for smoother, more natural feel at low speeds. On standard versions, new 5-way height-adjustable windscreen extends on-road comfort. Adventure Sports versions’ new front fairing adds muscular looks and improves wind protection. Adventure Sports versions’ new seat improves comfort with a thicker cushion and revised shape. Standard versions’ new front fairing improves its compact, off-road-focused body style, pairing perfectly with the slim seat and high handlebar. A huge range of Honda Accessories is ready to go, from tank pads to full Pannier/Top Box luggage solutions--each a perfect fit for the Africa Twin. Accessories are available individually or in dedicated accessory packs. Rally, Adventure, Urban and Travel Packs make perfect customization easy.

My vote for the GOAT Africa Twin is the one that’s working; the go AT? That self-evident axiom aside, I can’t make a persuasive argument that the farkled ‘18 AT DCT I ride and own is “the best” but I can say the newest renditions don’t make me want to trade up . . . or down. There’s something about loving a bike so much you can’t wait to change it; I do believe my wife has the same attitude about me, and we’ve been married for 45 years. I’m not sure what else I can change on my ‘18 to make it better, but I can say all the changes I’ve made make it a keeper and a great motorcycle.

[@thetruthonlyone]

Well Honda hasn’t listened enough as for a beautiful bike like the Africa twin deserves a shaft drive and not a chain. And that’s the only reason why I’m holding back.

[@AT2021Rocker]

Love my 2021 ATAS es!

[@brianhoward9217]

GREAT REVIEW of a great bike. THANK YOU! I love your style. The close ups (visual AND audio) are fantastic and something that is missing on so many reviews. Really well done! More like this please!! Cheers from Sydney Australia.

[@IdealBike]

Thanks a lot for the comment. I have a surprise for you on Sunday, it will be on the channel, I wait for your feedback after the video release on sunday. Greetings !

[@ride129]

0:07 no need to hold down the starter button. Just press for a 1/2 second and release. :))) Love the review! I have a 2020 with the 21" front wheel and am seriously considering this model because of my love for the twisties.

[@IdealBike]

Thanks for the tip 😀 I'm like an old man, used with very old bikes that thinks by holding a lot will help starting 😁

[@brianhoward9217]

Thanks again for your very well-balanced review. I've just watched it again after an extended test ride and the following thoughts have come to the surface for me. The 2024 Africa Twin is an incredible improvement on the release of the 2020 model when it was upgraded to the current 1,084cc motor. The torque has increased and is much smoother and more measured in its deployment from zero to high rpm. It really is a pearler of a twin motor with a great traditional 'twin' sound with the upgraded 2024 muffler. I'm a fan and a Honda tragic from way back and can hardly wait to own one. I would very much like to buy the '25 model next year. HOWEVER, Honda will NOT be getting my money until at least some or all of the following glitches/negatives are resolved: 1) The atrociously long time it takes to boot the TFT screen and THEN it requires a touch on an 'OK' button before giving you access. WTF Honda?! No other manufacturers spoil the ride experience like this so WTF Honda?! 2) The switchgear needs an overhaul - simplify it AND include backlighting 3) An easy way to get the seat height BELOW 800mm. Please don't try to tell me it can't be done Honda. I'm 5'6" (167cm) and I would like to be able to flatfoot. 795mm seat height is a worthy goal Honda. 4) For the top-of-the-line model (mainly road use owners) ditch those ridiculous spoked wheels and give us some tasteful forged cast aluminium wheels. Cleaning spokes is an absolute nightmare. We already have enough cleaning with the chain drive, so, please Honda - some alloys. 5) For two-up touring it most definitely needs some more power. They should either bump the capacity to 1250cc for another 30hp OR, preferably, finally release the supercharged model on which they hold a Japanese patent and as such has been in development since 2019. One would think that simply in the name of competition with the Multistradas, GS1300s, Triumphs et al, Honda would want to increase the power at least somewhat. It is great for low speed stuff but 2-up with luggage on the highway it does need quite a bit more. Please! (from all reports the supercharger design is for low-mid range torque - not meant to be a high-rev Kawasaki H2 competitor). 6) Not mandatory for my purchase but, with DCT, a reverse gear for parking such a heavy baby would be handy. You'd only need 'impulse power' Scotty :-) 7) Does that great sounding rear muffler really have to be the size of a boat anchor? So there's my list of gripes for a bike I love a lot. My wishlist. How about it Honda - all for '25?

[@ireallylovegod]

The question we all want answered is , are the fork seals covered under warranty yet Honda?

[@1972eyad1972]

Thanks great presentation

[@IdealBike]

Thank you for the comment, appreciate it 🙏

[@man16812]

Hello, the air filters are not under the tank, they are in the sides. You can see the air intakes from the front of the bike.

[@IdealBike]

Thanks for sharing

[@TheSportsPROgram]

Just an amazing machine ......

[@stevek4449]

At 9:10, we’ll scratch AT off the list by shoving air filters under the fuel tank. Moves the Tiger 900 rally pro up on the list.

[@johnswanson3741]

Harley PanAm is a beast....150 HP, for on the road, adjusting shocks for on/off road. Like the power for the 80-90% tar road travel!

[@MeatbeatStreet]

Harley's are junk.

[@hegyeliandras7518]

I've test ridden the PanAm and compared to the Africa Twin finish quality is just a NO match. Honda is incomparably more refined.

[@IdealBike]

@hegyeliandras7518 It has always been quality made compared with other brands, you can see and compare the quality starting from the plastic buttons and finishings. Lately the components are becoming more and more expensive unexplainable considering that the overall price of the bikes has decreased or there are better in terms of the price quality ratio

[@motoexploration4169]

Do the crash bars come standard with the AdvSports version?

[@user-ue5gd2zr8o]

final drive gimbal please

[@roberthiers5606]

What part number are the engine bar, crash bar,and fog lights on the sports es dct? Cost if available? Thanks in advance.

[@IdealBike]

Sorry this I don't know, most likely you can find them easily on Honda Parts Website www.bike-parts-honda.ca/

[@GregLanz]

It looks and sounds like a great bike but I'm not interested in a DCT. I've never ridden one so I could be wrong but when I looked at them in the showroom it seemed just way too big and heavy for something I'd want to take off-road which is why I went with the Transalp

[@IdealBike]

I would love to make a test ride. Otherwise the feedback it's not complete

[@boomblab23]

Dct is problematic if you're out in the wild and you crash. Might damage the dct motor and you're stuck in 1 gear. Plus you can't push start it

[@mattyb7736]

You're wrong, try it before saying its useless. . DCT is great off road, different riding style as you need to use the rear brake to compensate for not having a manual clutch. Great bit is that you can't stall, it and taking off on an incline is a breeze. Don't forget to turn off that damned wheelie control otherwise it thinks a steep hill climb is a wheelie and shuts down. I've dropped mine a few times, not sure how you can hit the dct motor, its behind the left cylinder.

[@boomblab23]

@@mattyb7736 bruh I've worked on honda dcts, alot of problems lol, a customer dropped his bike and he's stuck in 3rd gear because his dct motor is out of alignment. Imagine you dropped it in the trail😂 btw Africa twin dct motor is on the left side. Unprotected

[@mattyb7736]

@@boomblab23 yep, and behind the left cylinder. Mines been down on both sides and never an issue. I dont see how the motor can get out of alignment, it only rotates and drives the selector drum like a manual shift lever does. Cam plate and sensor maybe, but not the motor itself. DCT reset sequence might fix it.

[@theeschatechannel2854]

I’m going to go on a limb and say the Africa twin from the early 90’s was probably the best AT ever made.

[@bandito3377]

Just curious, what makes it better than the modern iteration?

[@theeschatechannel2854]

@@bandito3377 about 70 lbs lighter and better balanced due to the v-twin engine. The 1100 AT is still a great bike but even the standard model with 21’ front is more of a road bike than the original.

[@bandito3377]

@@theeschatechannel2854 thanks for the reply. They’re probably impossible to find these days.

[@UncleWally3]

Great bike for sure, but offering it with one paint option doesn’t seem like smart marketing.

[@cadman9615]

Not even available in the US yet. Local dealer had no idea when the 24’s were coming in 😒

[@IdealBike]

Same as Transalp 750 perhaps, one year later... Hopefully not "An eternity later..."

[@motonirvana6861]

Coming to the U.S in May 2024

[@DaveDayve]

Your talking about the previous model when you talk about the exhaust valve not the 2024

[@IdealBike]

It's about the 2024, the source it's Honda press sheet.

[@verktools731]

Without a doubt a fantastic bike, but the its at the end of its generation. It lags behind BMW, Triumph, etc. Hoping for a big update soon, but maybe 2027?

[@brianhoward9217]

I hope 2025 with the supercharger!! 🙂 They will THEN get my money!!

45kg more than Transalp 750 + 8.5K more. No Way. Totally useless inside city traffic.

[@IdealBike]

If you ride it on asphalt 95% it makes sense. Perhaps the customer of this bike it's a 60 year old + person.

[@redlemons_de]

Transalp 208 kg + skid plate 213 kg => Africa with stock skid plate 231 kg (manual not DCT) => difference is: 18kg
