What has changed on the 2026 Honda Africa Twin?
The Africa Twin is available in three variants globally. The first variant, aka Standard, is now available with Grand Prix Red, Matt Ballistic Black Metallic, and Pearl Glare White colour options with revised graphics on the fuel tank shrouds and the side panels. The same colour options have been updated for the electronic suspension variant as well.
Meanwhile, the top-spec Adventure Sports variant is now available in Matt Iridium Gray Metallic and Pearl Glare White colours. These colours also feature the iconic tri-colour HRC stripes, which are associated with Honda’s motorsports legacy.
Powering the 2026 Africa Twin is the same tried and tested engine as the previous model. This 1,084cc, parallel-twin engine makes 100.5 bhp of power and 112 Nm of torque. Africa Twin is offered with two gearbox options: a 6-speed manual and a DCT automatic.
Honda does not offer Africa Twin in India anymore. However, the 2026 model has addressed the issue of non compatibility with the latest emission norms, hence it could be soon launched in India as well.
