Honda CRF1100L AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORTS (MAN/DCT) 2023 Parts & Accessories

First revived in 2016 to carry on the legacy of the original V-twin XRV750, the modern Honda Africa Twin family—comprising the CRF1000L (2016–2019) and the upgraded CRF1100L (2020–present)—represents Honda's flagship adventure touring platform. Designed with a true off-road bias utilizing a 21-inch front wheel, long-travel suspension, and compact Unicam parallel-twin engines with a 270° crankshaft, the modern Africa Twin series offers a unique balance of rugged trail performance and long-distance touring comfort. Notable for pioneering Honda's optional Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in the ADV segment, the platform evolved in 2020 with increased displacement, advanced IMU-based electronics, lighter chassis components, and specialized Adventure Sports sub-models.
