Features

• Unicam® engine design
  • Our Honda-exclusive Unicam^® engine design, just like our Africa Twin and CRF450R, provides a compact cylinder head for optimal engine placement and superior performance. It’s the perfect combination of form and function.
• 755cc twin-cylinder engine
  • The new engine on this bike is based on the Honda CB750 Hornet. It’s a narrow parallel-twin design that delivers torque throughout the rev range. More power on low revs, easy cruising on the open road.
• Vortex air intake
  • By speeding up intake-charge airspeed at the critical low- and mid-engine speeds from 3000 to 8000 rpm, you get better throttle response and acceleration.
• High-pressure fuel injection
  • The engine has a high-pressure fuel injection system pressurized to 65 PSI, enhancing combustion and throttle characteristics for better throttle response in technical terrain at lower and mid-rpm ranges.
• Throttle-by-wire
  • It features throttle-by-wire technology. Light, precise, and proven, it’s also the reason our engineers can build in the five selectable riding modes.
• Spoked wheels
  • Off-road bikes use wire wheels with traditional spokes for better performance on dirt. The 21-inch wheel on the front and the 18-inch rear wheel sizes offer a wide range of tire options for different terrains.
• Long-travel front suspension
  • With its long-travel front suspension, the inverted Showa SFF-CA fork provides excellent on- and off-road handling.
• Pro-Link® rear suspension
  • Our patented rising-rate Pro-Link® rear suspension with a Showa shock and 7.5 inches of travel offers the perfect balance of good pavement handling and solid off-pavement performance.
• Discs brakes with ABS
  • Dual-front and single-rear disc brakes provide ample stopping power. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is linked to riding modes, and rear-wheel ABS can be turned off for riding in the dirt.
• Low CG, compact mass
  • By locating heavy components as close to the bike’s center of gravity as possible and using a compact engine, this bike provides a superior platform for excellent handling.
• 42-degree steering lock
  • A generous 42 degrees of left and right steering lock provide excellent maneuverability on tight trails. This is one of the reasons this bike feels so much more nimble than many of the other adventure bikes out there.
• Ample ground clearance
  • 8.3 inches of ground clearance perfectly balances off-pavement capability and highway use. For hard-core dirt roads, check out our optional skid plate.
• Ride modes
  • With five riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a custom setting), you can adjust power delivery, engine braking, and ABS intervention. Switching between modes is easy.
• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
  • With four-level adjustable Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), you can choose the appropriate amount of performance for everything from dirt to gravel to all kinds of pavement.
• Quick shifter
  • Whether you’re riding on-road or off the pavement, you’ll always appreciate fast, decisive shifting, and the quick shifter makes that happen. Even better, it comes as standard equipment.
• Slipper/assist clutch
  • A slipper/assist clutch helps eliminate wheel hop under downshifting and gives you a lighter clutch pull at the lever.
• Gear driven counterbalancer
  • Our counterbalancer design drives directly off the crank’s primary gear, eliminating the need for an additional gear. This reduces weight and complexity, resulting in a more efficient and compact engine design.
• Compact water pump
  • Here’s another example of superior Honda design: The water pump tucks inside the engine alternator cover rather than bolting on in a more vulnerable position, reducing both size and weight.
• 270-degree-phase-crank
  • Phasing this bike’s crank at 270 degrees gives you a unique, smooth power delivery that’s easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.
• Rally-style fairing
  • This bike has a rich history of being an exceptional long-distance machine. To enhance its capabilities, we equipped it with a lightweight, high-quality fairing that balances wind and weather protection.
• Extra comfortable seat
  • On a bike like this, you’ll probably want to extend your adventures and take some longer trips. That’s why we gave it a seat with a shape that’s both supportive enough for aggressive cornering and comfortable enough for high mileage.
• Optional low seat
  • Want a lower seat option? Just check out our available accessory seat. It swaps out quickly with basic tools and is 1.1 inches lower than the standard seat.
• Large fuel tank
  • It features a 4.5-gallon fuel tank, a great balance of long-range, and reduced weight, especially when paired with our super-efficient engine.
• Standard rear carrier
  • The bike comes with a standard rear carrier that integrates with passenger handholds. If you’re planning a long trip, you’ll need to bring some gear along.
• USB-C port
  • The weather-protected USB-C connection located under the passenger seat lets you charge your devices on the go.
• TFT display
  • It features a 5.0-inch full-color LCD display with various options, and it shows important details like speed, fuel level, trip distance, gear position, and much more.
• Self-canceling turn signals
  • This bike blends modern electronics with adventure motorcycling. It automatically turns off blinkers, ensuring you ride safely and confidently.
• Honda RoadSync
  • Honda RoadSync connects to your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth and the Honda RoadSync app. It allows for hands-free navigation, music playback, as well as the ability to check local forecasts at your destination. Android phones can link for hands-free calling and texting.

• Twin intakes
  • A unique twin air intake system featuring two vertical filtration elements results in excellent engine performance, even during extensive operation in dusty conditions.
• 10.5:1 compression ratio
  • The 10.5:1 compression ratio and updated valve timing increase the midrange horsepower and torque by more than 7 percent compared to the previous version, which is hard not to love.

• Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission
  • The Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT models feature a robust, steel-gear transmission that can be operated manually with paddle shifters or left in fully automatic mode, where it shifts entirely for you. This truly is the future of two-wheeled transmissions.
• Water pump
  • The water pump is behind the cover and driven by a balancer shaft, so there is no need for external hoses that could snag or rupture in a fall.
• Throttle-by-wire
  • Our throttle-by-wire system expands the ADV’s versatility with seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and four power delivery modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, and User, which can be custom programmed.
• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
  • Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) lets you customize the bike’s power delivery to match conditions or rider skill level. It has seven different settings for various terrains and allows the bike to progress as you do.

  • Both standard Africa Twin models feature 5-gallon fuel tanks, while our two Adventure Sports ES models increase that capacity to 6.6 gallons for those of you looking to super-size your adventures.
• Optional aluminum luggage
  • Our three-piece hard luggage set is essential for every traveler. The bags have a weather-resistant lining, and the largest can accommodate a full-face helmet.
• Tall handlebar
  • Fitting tall handlebars to both models opens up the cockpit, working with the seat and windscreen to create a comfortable rider triangle for long rides.
• Tapered aluminum handlebar
  • Our aluminum handlebars are lighter and more flexible than steel handlebars of the same size. They are designed to taper from a thin diameter under the outer grip area to a thicker section at the center for optimal flex and rigidity.
• Narrow seat
  • We took extra care to ensure the standard Africa Twin models’ seat was as narrow as possible while still being comfortable. This makes maneuvering the bike at low speeds and placing a foot on the ground when stopping much easier.
• More comfortable ES seat
  • Last year, the Adventure Sports ES models received a new seat designed for more comfort during those long on-road rides.
• Narrow subframe
  • The aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs. Compared to previous AT models, the width has been reduced by 40mm for a narrower feel between the rider’s legs, making it more agile in challenging terrain.
• Biaxial counterbalancer
  • Using counterbalancing elements on two axes, we have been able to cancel out a lot of the engine vibrations, resulting in a smooth ride that is easier over long distances.
• Athletic riding position
  • Adventure riding requires nimble maneuvering on a slim bike. The peg-bar-seat triangle offers the perfect position for agile handling on challenging trails.
• Cruise control
  • All Africa Twin models come factory-equipped with cruise control for touring, and you’ll thank us after those high-mileage rides.

  • We took extra care to ensure the standard Africa Twin models’ seat was as narrow as possible while still being comfortable. This makes maneuvering the bike at low speeds and placing a foot on the ground when stopping much easier.
• More comfortable ES seat
  • Last year, the Adventure Sports ES models received a new seat designed for more comfort during those long on-road rides.
• Narrow subframe
  • The aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs. Compared to previous AT models, the width has been reduced by 40mm for a narrower feel between the rider’s legs, making it more agile in challenging terrain.
• Biaxial counterbalancer
  • Using counterbalancing elements on two axes, we have been able to cancel out a lot of the engine vibrations, resulting in a smooth ride that is easier over long distances.
• Athletic riding position
  • Adventure riding requires nimble maneuvering on a slim bike. The peg-bar-seat triangle offers the perfect position for agile handling on challenging trails.
• Cruise control
  • All Africa Twin models come factory-equipped with cruise control for touring, and you’ll thank us after those high-mileage rides.
• TFT touchscreen display
  • A 6.5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument touch panel features three displays and can show a multitude of information, depending on your needs.
• Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
