Honda Africa Twin Variants and Ex-Showroom Prices in India

The Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L is offered in two variants in India, differentiated entirely by transmission choice:

CRF1100L Africa Twin MT - Rs 15,96,500 (ex-showroom) This is the entry point into Africa Twin ownership. You get the full 1082.96 cc parallel twin, the complete electronics package (HSTC, 5 riding modes, dual-channel switchable ABS), the 21-inch front wheel, 24.5-litre tank, and USB-C charging socket. The six-speed manual gearbox is precise and has a light clutch action. On-road price in Delhi is approximately Rs 17.79 lakh; in Mumbai it rises to around Rs 18.53 lakh; in Bangalore expect close to Rs 19.80 lakh.

CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT - Rs 17,50,500 (ex-showroom) Pay Rs 1.54 lakh more and you get Honda's 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission in place of the manual gearbox. The DCT adds three automatic modes (Tour, Urban, Gravel) and a manual paddle-shift mode. It is the transmission of choice for long-distance tourers who want to focus on the ride, and it genuinely transforms the Africa Twin in city traffic and on technical trails. On-road price in Delhi is approximately Rs 19.49 lakh.

Both variants share identical engine output, suspension, braking, and feature set - the only difference is the gearbox. If you plan to mostly highway tour and are comfortable with a manual, the MT is the value pick. If you ride through heavy city traffic daily or plan serious off-road use, the DCT pays for itself quickly in reduced fatigue.

Note: As of May 2025, both variants are discontinued pending the 2026 BS6 Phase 2-compliant relaunch. The 2026 model is expected to retain both transmission options with locally assembled pricing in the Rs 16-18 lakh range.

When the 2026 model arrives, Honda is expected to also introduce the Africa Twin Adventure Sports alongside the standard variant - the Adventure Sports gets a larger 24.8-litre tank, electronically adjustable suspension, and more aggressive off-road tuning. That variant will be priced higher, likely above Rs 19 lakh. For most buyers, the standard CRF1100L MT represents the sweet spot of price and capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow many variants does the Honda Africa Twin come in?▾
The Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L is available in two variants in India: the MT (6-speed manual, Rs 15,96,500) and the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission, Rs 17,50,500). Both variants are identical in all other respects - same engine, suspension, electronics, and braking.
QWhat is the difference between the Honda Africa Twin MT and DCT variants?▾
The only difference between the MT and DCT is the gearbox. The MT uses a conventional 6-speed manual with a clutch lever; the DCT uses a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with three automatic modes and a manual paddle-shift option. The DCT costs Rs 1,54,000 more. All other specs - engine, suspension, brakes, electronics - are identical.
QWhich Honda Africa Twin variant offers the best value for money?▾
For most buyers, the MT at Rs 15,96,500 offers better value - it gives you the complete Africa Twin experience at a lower price and is simpler to maintain. The DCT at Rs 17,50,500 is worth the premium specifically if you do heavy city commuting or complex trail riding, where the automatic transmission reduces fatigue significantly.
QDoes the Honda Africa Twin get dual-channel ABS on all variants?▾
Yes - both the MT and DCT variants of the Honda Africa Twin come with Bosch dual-channel ABS as standard. The rear ABS is switchable on both variants, allowing you to disengage it for off-road riding while the front ABS remains active.
