E-SUSPENSION WITH HONDA SKYHOOK CONTROL
From long-distance touring to fully loaded off-road adventure, the CRF1150L Africa Twin’s Showa EERA™ Electronic Suspension with Honda Skyhook Control control continuously adjusts damping force to suit the terrain beneath you — delivering exceptional comfort, stability and control.
ELECTRIC WINDSCREEN
Fine-tune your wind protection with an electronically adjustable windscreen, built for whatever conditions arise.
SMARTPHONE POCKET
A new fuel-tank storage compartment, complete with a USB-C port, keeps essential items close at hand.
ELECTRONIC REAR PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT
Electronic Suspension allows the rear preload to be adjusted at the touch of a button, making it quick and easy to optimise the bike for solo riding, a passenger or fully loaded touring. Electronic Minimum Preload Mode lowers the rear suspension by 10mm at the touch of a button, helping riders feel more confident and in control when coming to a stop.
TRUE OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY
A 21-inch front wheel delivers confident control and agility across challenging terrain.
2 TRANSMISSION TYPES
Choose the responsive control of a six-speed manual or the seamless shifting of Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
HEADLIGHTS WITH DRL & CORNERING LIGHTS
LED headlights with daytime running lights enhance visibility, while integrated cornering lights illuminate the road ahead as you lean into bends.
CRUISE CONTROL
Settle in comfortably on long-distance journeys with cruise control, now easier and safer to adjust on the move thanks to improved switch layout, with cruise control engagement on the right and settings on the left.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
The 6-axis IMU measures acceleration and movement across yaw, pitch and roll in real time, enabling advanced rider aids including Cornering ABS and Rear Wheel Lift Control.
Six Riding Modes
Choose from six riding modes, including Off-Road, with each mode fully customisable to suit your riding needs. Off-Road mode lets you switch off rear ABS and traction control, while your customised settings are automatically saved and remembered the next time you start the bike.
WHEELIE & REAR LIFT CONTROL
Front and rear lift control systems work in the background to help maintain stability during hard acceleration and heavy braking.
CORNERING ABS
Adjusts braking intervention according to lean angle, helping maintain stability & control through the turn.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) helps maintain rear-wheel traction, with multiple intervention levels to suit tyre conditions.
