HONDA CRF 1100L AFRICA TWIN new generation with DCT Dual Clutch Transmission

Heir to legendary models, such as the pioneer XRV 650 Africa Twin and the successive 750 versions, which from 1988 to 2002 redefined the concept of adventurous motorcycle, the new generation of Africa Twin arrived on the world market in 2016.

The arrival of the 2021 versions of the CRF 1100L Africa Twin is marked by an in-depth technical renewal, an improvement that preserves the 'True Adventure' essence, but that has effectively evolved the model in practically all aspects.

Relevant is the introduction of the double clutch transmission (DCT), which adds to the option with conventional gearbox.
