Given the opportunity to update its flagship multi-terrain motorcycle to meet the BS-VI emission standards, Honda completely revamped the Africa Twin in 2020. Available in Standard and Adventure Sports trim in the international markets, the 2021 Africa Twin in India is only available in the latter-spec. The only visual update the 2021 Africa Twin brings to the table is that now it will be available in new shades over the 2020 iteration – darkness black metallic and pearl glare white tricolor.

Exterior Details

Apart from the addition of new shades, there isn’t much new with the 2021 Africa Twin. Dimension-wise, it is 2,334mm in length, 932mm in width, and 1,478mm in height. It has a massive ground clearance of 250mm and a kerb weight of 245kg. The fuel tank is quite enormous too, at 24.8-litres.

Engine & Transmission

It is powered by a 1,084cc parallel-twin, good for 97.8bhp and 103Nm of torque. It is, of course, BS-VI compliant. It comes mated to either a 6-speed manual or a DCT automatic transmission. Since the new motorcycle is lighter than before, expect the Honda Africa Twin mileage and performance to be a step up from its predecessor.

Handling

The Honda Africa Twin new model now features a new chassis, which is a semi double-cradle frame. It rides on inverted telescopic forks at the front and a fully adjustable pro-link suspension at the back. The spoked wheel at the front is a 90/90-R21 tyre and the spoked wheel at the rear is a 150/70-R18 tyre. The braking power comes from dual 310mm disc brakes at the front and a 256mm disc brake at the rear.

Features

The main highlight on the features front is a 6.5-inch colour TFT display, which not only displays a ton of rider-centric information but also features Bluetooth and Apple Carplay connectivity. Moreover, the Honda Africa Twin new model also features a 6-axis IMU with cornering ABS, wheelie control, rear lift control, and seven-level Honda Selectable Torque Control. The headlamp and taillamp are, given its pricing, both LEDs.

Price & Variants

The Honda Africa Twin is available in two variants. The Honda Africa Twin price (as of early-2021) is ₹15.97 lakh for the Adventure Sports – Manual variant, and ₹17.51 lakh for the Adventure Sports – DCT variant (ex-showroom, Delhi).
