The 2024 Africa Twin offers two colour schemes – Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and Pearl Glare White. The India-spec model has a lower seat version with an adjustable seat height between 810 mm and 830 mm, making it accessible to more riders compared to the European model.

Powering the 2024 Africa Twin is a 1,084 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 100.5 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 112 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm, an increase from the previous model. The bike offers gearbox options of a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for a versatile riding experience.

For suspension, the Africa Twin features 45 mm upside-down forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear, sourced from Showa. Braking duties are handled by discs at the front and rear wheels, with 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels wrapped in 110/80 and 150/70 tyres respectively.

The updated 2024 Honda Africa Twin showcases a blend of design enhancements and performance upgrades, catering to the demands of the adventure touring segment. With a focus on rider comfort, accessibility, and power, the Africa Twin aims to deliver a thrilling riding experience on all terrains.
