<\/a>The 2026 Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT combines a 24.8-litre tank, lower ride height and 19-inch front wheel for long-distance touring duties.<\/p>\nFor 2026, Honda has resisted making further major mechanical changes. Instead, the Australian Africa Twin range receives revised graphics and colour schemes inspired by the marque\u2019s rally racing heritage.<\/p>\n
The four-model local line-up comprises the Africa Twin, Africa Twin ES, Africa Twin ES DCT and Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT.<\/p>\n
The standard Africa Twin, Africa Twin ES DCT and Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT are available now, while the manual-transmission Africa Twin ES is due to arrive shortly.<\/p>\n
Four-model Honda Africa Twin range<\/p>\n
All four models are powered by Honda\u2019s 1084 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine and feature Throttle by Wire.<\/p>\n
Four preset riding modes \u2013 Tour, Urban, Gravel and Off-Road \u2013 are joined by a configurable USER mode, allowing riders to tailor the electronic settings to suit their preferences.<\/p>\n
Standard equipment across the range includes seven-level Honda Selectable Torque Control, selectable ABS, cruise control, an adjustable rally-style windscreen and tool-free seat-height adjustment.<\/p>\n
A 6.5-inch touchscreen provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, while Honda says density-optimised seat foam has been developed to improve comfort over longer distances.<\/p>\n
2026 Honda Africa Twin
\nFrom $22,999 RRP<\/p>\n
The standard Africa Twin remains the most off-road-oriented and least expensive model in the range.<\/p>\n
It combines a relatively slim and compact body with an 18.8-litre fuel tank, a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel.<\/p>\n
Fully adjustable Showa suspension provides 230 mm of travel at the front and 220 mm at the rear, maintaining the standard model\u2019s focus on rougher terrain and more serious off-road exploration.<\/p>\n
For 2026, the standard model will be offered exclusively in Pearl Glare White with Honda\u2019s familiar red, white and blue Tricolour treatment.<\/p>\n
The Africa Twin ES retains the conventional six-speed manual transmission but adds Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment suspension.<\/p>\n The EERA system offers Soft, Mid, Hard and Off-Road suspension settings, along with electronic rear spring preload adjustment.<\/p>\n Heated grips are also fitted as standard.<\/p>\n The Africa Twin ES will share the Pearl Glare White Tricolour finish of the base model and is expected to become available in Australia shortly.<\/p>\n 2026 Honda Africa Twin ES DCT The Africa Twin ES DCT combines the electronically controlled Showa suspension and touring equipment of the manual ES with Honda\u2019s Dual Clutch Transmission.<\/p>\n Riders can leave the transmission to change gears automatically or select ratios manually.<\/p>\n A dedicated G Switch modifies the clutch control strategy to reduce clutch slip during gear changes, providing a more direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel when riding over loose or uneven terrain.<\/p>\n The Africa Twin ES DCT will be offered in Grand Prix Red for 2026.<\/p>\n The Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT remains the long-distance flagship of the family.<\/p>\n Its 24.8-litre fuel tank provides considerably more touring range than the 18.8-litre tank used by the other models.<\/p>\n It also features a lower seat height, shorter suspension travel and a 19-inch front wheel designed to improve road manners, manoeuvrability and stability when covering longer distances.<\/p>\n Unlike the other Africa Twin variants, the Adventure Sports will be available in Australia only with DCT for 2026.<\/p>\n Its sole colour option is Iridium Grey Metallic.<\/p>\n Honda Australia offers a range of genuine accessories for the Africa Twin, including LED fog lights, a 42-litre aluminium top box and matching aluminium panniers providing 33 and 37 litres of storage capacity.<\/p>\n The aluminium luggage options incorporate Honda\u2019s One Key System, allowing the panniers and top box to be operated using the motorcycle\u2019s ignition key.<\/p>\n The 42-litre top box can accommodate a full-face helmet and also incorporates a pillion backrest for greater passenger comfort on longer journeys.<\/p>\n<\/a>The standard 2026 Honda Africa Twin is offered in Pearl Glare White Tricolour and priced from $22,999 RRP.
