Parallel-Twin Engine
For 2020 the CRF1100 Africa Twin's displacement has been increased to
1,084 cc's. As a result the peak power has increased by 7% and peak torque by 6%. The obvious increase in both power and torque makes itself felt from 2,500 RPM all the way through to the redline. This increase was achieved through engine refinements such as increasing the piston stroke, installing larger throttle bodies as well as updating the cylinder head and ECU settings.

Exhaust Control Valve
To better manage the uprated intake efficiency and higher output the exhaust end-can now features a variable Exhaust Control Valve (ECV) very similar to the unit fitted to the CBR1000RR. It enhances both engine performance and efficiency as it opens at higher rpm and gives a pleasing exhaust note ‘pulse’ at lower rpm.

Six-Speed Manual Transmission
The six-speed manual gearbox is both lightweight and robust – it uses the same shift-cam design as found on the CRF450R to ensure positive changes and uses shorter ratios. The gears themsevles have been re-shaped and constructed from stronger material.

Six-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
The Africa Twin is also available with an advanced, automatic shifting, six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). It features 4 automatic modes which adjust the shift patterns to match your riding style or the conditions, and a standard manual mode – allowing the rider to shift gears with triggers on the left handlebar. These triggers can also be used to override the automatic modes gear selection at anytime.

DCT - Cornering and Incline Detection
The addition of the new six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) now allows two new features on the DCT models– cornering and incline detection. The IMU knows when the bike is cornering or on a steep incline and can adapt the gear shift pattern to give you better control and a more natural gear shift feel.

New Inertial Measurement Unit
At the very heart of the Africa Twin’s elevated on- and off-road performance is a Bosch MM7.10 six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that measures
6-axis of data and sends that information to other critical systems like: HSTC, ABS and wheelie control… these systems then make adjustments in real-time to give you total control.

G (Gravel) Switch
The DCT is specially engineered to handle off-road adventures, thanks in part to the G switch, which can be accessed through the TFT touch screen display. Activating the G switch in any riding mode improves the feel for available traction and machine control by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system comes with seven (7) levels of torque control, and an “off” setting. Thanks to the new IMU which can determine when the rear-wheel starts to slip out and it will seamlessly modulate your torque control to keep you in that sweet spot during acceleration.
