LOOK WHAT WE FOUND, HAS TO BE THE LAST ONE OUT THERE I'M SURE!!! 2018 Honda® Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT New day, new adventures
Features may include:

Engine & Drivetrain
Power your adventure
Featuring the same exhilarating 998 cc parallel-twin engine and fearless Dakar Racing heritage of the iconic Africa Twin, the upgraded ‘Adventure Sports’ version is sure to take performance to unimaginable new heights.

Engineered to perfection
Four-valve Unicam cylinder head design has numerous performance benefits – including lighter weight and reduced gyro effect – while also contributing to the engine’s compact dimensions. A lightweight camshaft – using the same materials as the CBR1000RR’s camshaft – operates the valve train.

Dual spark
Twin sparkplugs in each cylinder help to produce rapid, thorough combustion.

Distinctive sound and feel
A 270-degree phased crankshaft gives the engine a distinctive sound and feel – almost like a V-twin – while helping to produce strong and linear power and instant response anywhere in the rev range. There’s a deep growl as the RPM rises that will be music to any motorhead’s ears thanks to the revised intake and exhaust.

Clever design integration
The dry-sump oil system with internal tank reduces engine height. Combined with the Unicam cylinder head and other design elements, this contributes to an extremely low engine height, which in turn results in generous ground clearance.

Lightweight architecture
The water pump is housed within the clutch casing, and the water and oil pumps are driven by a shared balancer shaft, all of which reduces engine size and weight.

Chassis / Suspension
Dual-purpose design
The chassis is engineered to handle the most rugged off-road adventures, while also providing the comfort of a touring motorcycle and the everyday competence of a great all-rounder or day-to-day commuter.

Strength and agility
The semi-double-cradle steel frame uses oval-shaped tubing for extra strength without extra weight. The Africa Twin Adventure Sports model also features a larger skid plate with extended fairings and protective cowl bar.

Balanced handling
Careful attention to mass centralization – with heavy items like the battery packaged at the rear of the cylinder head – contributes to agile handling.

Nimble handling and tight control
The chassis design allows for superior manoeuvrability, with a wide 43-degree steering angle and a tight 2.5-metre turning radius.

Superior suspension
The Africa Twin Adventure Sports features increased ground clearance and longer suspension travel over the regular model, enabling the Adventure Sports version to tackle almost any terrain. The long-travel inverted Showa fork offers full spring preload, compression damping and rebound damping adjustment, and was designed specifically for a leading-axle wheel and radial-caliper mounting.

Engineered functionality
The Pro-link rear suspension design positions the shock lower at the front of the aluminum swingarm, lowering C of G even further and allowing designers to keep the seat/tank area above the shock as slim as possible.

Selectable suspension
The Showa rear shock’s hydraulic dial-style preload adjuster, combined with full adjustment for compression and rebound damping, makes it easy to change suspension performance to suit street or dirt riding.

Adventure ready
Like the CRF450R Rally, the Africa Twin Adventure Sports uses 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels, wearing 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 tires.
