CRF1100L Africa Twin – 25YM

24YM marked another major step forward in the model’s development with an Electronic Suspension (ES) choice, more torque from the engine, further DCT improvements and enhanced equipment levels. Mechanically unchanged for 25YM the Africa Twin continues to build its reputation as a benchmark big-bore on- and off-roader.

Model Overview

The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin carries a strong focus on core off-road ability, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine. Its 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW.

Two options are available: The CRF1100L Africa Twin, with standard Showa suspension, and the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES, which features Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA™). Showa EERA™ offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES also includes an ACC charging socket and heated grips as standard, just like its CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports sibling.
