Honda Australia has announced updated colour schemes for its CRF1100L Africa Twin range, refreshing the look of one of the brand’s most successful adventure bikes.
The updates arrive as the Africa Twin celebrates its ongoing success in the adventure segment, with over 121,000 units sold globally since the model’s reintroduction in 2016. For six of those years, the Africa Twin has consistently placed in Honda’s top three selling motorcycles over 125cc.
While mechanically unchanged, all Africa Twin variants receive new graphics and colour options that Honda says enhance the bike’s rally-inspired appearance.
All 2026 Africa Twin models retain the 1084cc parallel-twin engine producing 75kW of power and 112Nm of torque. Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) remains available across the range – an option chosen by almost half of all Africa Twin customers in 2025.
The standard Africa Twin continues with fully-adjustable Showa suspension, while the Electronic Suspension model features Showa’s EERA system, which provides optimised damping across all riding conditions and adjustable rear preload on the move. Electronic Suspension models also include heated grips and an ACC socket as standard.
The Adventure Sports variant maintains its touring focus with a larger 24.8-litre fuel tank (providing 508km range versus 385km on standard models) and a 19-inch front wheel for improved on-road handling.
Pricing and Australian availability for the 2026 Africa Twin range is yet to be confirmed by Honda Australia.
