HONDA CRF1150 Africa Twin Adventure Sports Sensing Riding

ALL-DAY ADVENTURE COMFORT
A 19-inch front wheel delivers confident road handling, while the 24L fuel tank gives you the range to go further. A lower seat improves comfort and confidence in the saddle, with an electronically adjustable windscreen and additional wind deflectors helping protect you as conditions change. Heated grips come as standard, while knuckle guard extensions add further protection. A heated seat is available as an accessory for added comfort on longer rides and colder days.

HSTC HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) helps maintain rear-wheel traction, with multiple intervention levels to suit tyre conditions.

CORNERING ABS
Adjusts braking intervention according to lean angle, helping maintain stability & control through the turn.

HISS HONDA IGNITION SECURITY SYSTEM
Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) is a motorcycle immobiliser system that has a microchip embedded in the original key and is programmed with a coded password that is picked up by an antenna and communicated it to an ECU. The ECU checks the programmed code number and only allows the engine to start when the code numbers match. Even if a duplicate key of exactly the same shape as the original key is used, the engine cannot be started unless the built-in microchip code matches.

APPLE CARPLAY/ANDROID AUTO
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth provide safe and easy to use intercommunication with a Smartphone. The user can make phone calls, and access music, navigation and messaging when a headset is connected. It is also possible to control the system with voice command via a headset.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables precise cruising speed control and relieves prolonged use of the throttle grip during long rides and when touring on long straight roads for improved rider comfort and reduced fatigue.

SELF-CANCELLING DIRECTION INDICATORS
Self cancelling direction indicators improve safety by automatically switching off the direction indicators after the turning manoeuvre is complete.

ESL ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK
As part of the Honda Smart Key system, this function is activated through the main switch and enables locking the steering when parked for maximum security.

CORNERING LIGHTS
The cornering headlight function is controlled by lean angle information from the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). As the bike is leaned into a corner the inside cornering light is switched on to increase the illumination around the corner and improve visibility.

HONDA DCT DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is a transmission in which clutch and shift operations are automated, while maintaining the structure of manual transmission with its advantages such as direct-feel acceleration. With no need to operate the clutch, the rider can concentrate on the throttle and brake operation while riding, and smooth acceleration and deceleration is possible with fewer interruptions of driving force during shifting that inevitably occur with normal manual transmissions due to their structure. 

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Honda motorcycles using manual transmission are equipped with 5 or 6 speed constant-mesh transmission. The drive and driven gears are always mated together but rotate freely on a gear shaft until locked by a toothed sliding collar. This ensures smooth and sequential gear changing.

ANTI-WHEELIE SYSTEM
Anti-wheelie is a system that mitigates and reduces front wheel lift during hard and sudden acceleration. It utilises information from the ABS system and operates via the Throttle By Wire and HSTC systems to reduce engine torque and supress front wheel lift. On some models the levels of wheelie control can be adjusted via the meter.

UNIT PRO-LINK
The Unit Pro-Link design features the rear suspension damper housed entirely within the swingarm, and the damper is positioned lower than in a conventional design. Both contribute to improved mass centralisation.

ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The electronic suspension system actively adjusts damping characteristics to suit the riding conditions. On some of the adventure and tourer models the rider is able to use the meter to select if a pillion and or luggage is being carried, the system then automatically adjusts the damping to suit.

TBW THROTTLE BY WIRE
The Throttle By Wire (TBW) systems use electronics to control opening and closing of the throttle valves and eliminates the mechanical connection between the throttle grip and throttle valves. TBW enables the PGM-FI system to precisely control throttle opening throughout the RPM range to delivery controlled and progressive torque. It also enables the use of rider aid systems such as, selectable riding modes, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), wheelie mitigation and selectable levels of power and engine braking.

HEATED HAND GRIPS
Heated grips improve rider comfort and control during cold conditions and are now fitted as standard on some models and available as a genuine Honda accessory on much of the range.

SELECTABLE RIDING MODES
Selectable riding modes enable the rider to select pre-set and customisable user modes. These modes alter the levels of power delivery, HSTC and engine braking to suit the rider preference or riding conditions.

6-AXIS IMU
The 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) enables precise measurement of the angle and rate of the motorcycle acceleration for yaw, roll and pitch. This enables the use of rider aid and safety systems such as cornering ABS and rear wheel lift control.

TFT SCREEN
Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology is now integrated into the meter on many of the Honda motorcycle and scooter range. This type of colour display provides clear and concise user information and integrates touch screen technology on some models.

LED HEADLIGHTS
LED lights use Light Emitting Diode Technology to provide clear and intensive lighting to improve visibility and visual presence as well as benefiting from their low consumption properties.

HONDA SKYHOOK CONTROL
Honda Skyhook control continuously controls damping force based on vehicle motion to minimize body movement and deliver a smoother, more comfortable ride.

SELECTABLE LEVELS OF ABS
On some of Honda's super sport models, the rider is able to select levels of ABS intervention to suit the riding conditions i.e. race circuit use.

HONDA SMART KEY
Honda Smart Key brings the convenience of keyless entry to the motorcycle world. This system improves security and convenience as the rider can keep the key fob in their pocket whilst operating the motorcycle.

HSA HILL START ASSIST
Hill Start Assist (HSA) holds the brakes on momentarily when stopping to enable seamless pulling away and prevent the motorcycle from rolling when stopped on an incline.

ESS EMERGENCY STOP SIGNAL
Emergency Stop Signal ESS is a safety system that alerts road users that the motorcycle is in an emergency braking situation by flashing the direction indicators during hard or sudden braking.

ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTED FRONT SCREEN
The electronic screen function offers seamless screen hight adjustment at the touch of a button and whilst on the move.

ACTIVE SPEED LIMITER
The Active Speed Limiter keeps you within a set speed to prevent unintended speeding and you can ride with peace of mind in built up places or on the highway.

WHEELIE CONTROL
Wheelie control limits how high the front wheel lifts off the ground during hard acceleration, maintaining steering control and maximum forward momentum.

ENGINE BRAKE MANAGEMENT
Engine brake management controls the speed the engine slows down when you let go of the throttle.

HONDA SENSING RIDE

Emergency Brake Assist
Emergency Brake Assist supports the rider with additional braking intervention when a potential collision is detected.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control maintains your set speed and helps keep a safe following distance by assisting with acceleration and braking.

Stop & Go
Integrated with Adaptive Cruise Control, Stop & Go Assist helps make riding in slow-moving traffic easier by automatically managing acceleration and braking as traffic flows and comes to a halt.

Rear Distance Information
Rear Distance Information continuously monitors traffic behind the rider and provides a visual notification on the TFT display when a vehicle is approaching.

Forward Collision Warning
Forward Collision Warning continuously monitors the road ahead and provides a visual alert on the TFT display when there is a risk of collision.

Blind Spot Information
Blind Spot Information monitors the rider's blind spot and provides a visual alert when a vehicle is detected nearby, helping to make lane changes safer.

Rear Collision Warning
Rear Collision Warning monitors approaching traffic and automatically flashes the turn signals to help warn following vehicles of a potential collision risk.

Group Ride Assist
Group Ride Assist works as part of Adaptive Cruise Control, helping riders maintain their position within the group and stay comfortably in formation when Group Ride Mode is activated.

Riding Distance Assist
Riding Distance Mode helps maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, even when manually adjusting the throttle.

Automatic Brake Pulse
Automatic Brake Pulse works alongside the collision warning systems, automatically pulsing the brake lights to help communicate potential hazards to following road users.
