I've been living with the new 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sport for the last few weeks and been really enjoying the bike. But what's it like after some serious miles in the saddle?

the paddleshift with dual clutch is a game changer off-road. ive found myself on steep inclines of gravel, 2up, fully loaded. instant shift down with no clutch grab, shift lunge, or foot shuffling

I've bought the Manual Africa Twin Adventure ES and coming from a 2023 Goldwing with DCT I can tell you that DCT makes it easy, But utilitarian and takes some of the fun out of riding but puts back practicallity. If you wanna ride for fun get the manual if you are going somewhere or commuting the DCT is fantastic. With either transmission you are getting a great bike although Honda ought to have put a centerstand on it as standard.

I have the 2022 Africa Twin Adventure Sport with the DCT. It's an excellent bike for commuting, general touring, and dirt roads. The electronic suspension make a huge difference when going from pavement to offroad. It gets decent mileage, has, cruise control, car play, etc. When I bought my 3rd bike this year I planned on selling my Africa Twin but it's just such a great bike.

I never use any of the automatic modes with the DCT, I strictly use the push button shifting.

Top of left hand switch gear, in middle, pull towards you and it flicks between android and speedo. Get all the info you need in less than a second. It will still be on what ever app your on so wont interfere with maps or music.
Takes about 20 minutes to find what they all do then a bit of practice.
Keep up the good work.

For more wind protection take 2 more of those screen extensions (the ones with the more central mounting points) and mount one on either side of the windscreen, adjustable and takes almost all wind from shoulders :)

Seriously considering this bike right now. 2024 for the tubeless wheels, 19 inch front wheel and electronic suspension. I like the size of the gas tank for long distance riding. Luggage and bags can be added and removed.

There are the touring goldwing type bikes... yes they are plush... but they are so big and heavy I think why not just drive a car. Same with some larger adventure bikes. Everyone has their own sense of balance.

I rode from derbyshire to Switzerland in one hit last year and my dct was fine.

Great to have you back doing regular road reviews . 😄👍

[unnimenon]

Its nice to hear a macho-man like lamb chop liked the new Africa twin. The sales will roar for this wonderful bike.

[timmo]

Glad I didn’t have a drink everytime you said “19” 😂. Great review/test Chops 👍🏻

[jamiewhite-fkkw]

I have just gone back to a 2008 Street Triple. No modes, TFT or ABS! My mechanic loves it as do I. The modern era of bikes just seems over complicated and expensive. It reminds me of the emperor’s new clothes.

[michaelmclarney]

Nice review Chopsie, I think it's the base model I would go for, and manual too as it makes more sense to me. Part of the fun of biking for me is changing gear and having complete control of riding the bike! Although I would like the option of the bigger fuel tank for longer journeys

[Honda_Africa_Twin]

You can get the base Africa Twin 2024 with electronic suspension and DCT if you wish so. And they’re all tubeless now (finally).

[Jungleland]

Just had a test drive today on a DCT 1100. Instantly fell in love with it. It's really a game changer, and I think I'll be getting one in '25.

[linkomthsed]

the dct has modes which changes how long it holds a gear. you have D which will get to 6th pretty soon, then you have s1-s3 further you go up longer it hold a gear before shifting and lastly you "m" where you shift with the + and -

[davidellis]

I especially like the detailed reports on the state of your botty. It's to your credit that you really put your ar$e on the line for these motorcycle reviews.

[barney]

Saw your vid on Hel performance . I've know Steve personally for years, not giving too much away, but he is one of the most knowledgable people on brakes and suspension there is!!

[alandmorley]

The best way I found is to leave the DCT in auto and then change down when you wish at a bend or whatever with the handle bar paddle and the DCT will change up after the bend when its ready.

I pick up my new standard (non-dct) version next week, literally can’t wait… I went for the mat black colour, looks really badass!
I’ve spec’d a few extras too, inc the fantastic quick shifter/blipper
Much better option than a DCT box IMO - plus you save 13kg in additional weight 👍🏻
I’ve swapped my Yamaha T7 for it, so I’m used to a 21” front wheel. I personally think it looks better with the 18” and 21” wheels, regardless of if you take it off road or not..

I have ACC on my Tracer and I absolutely love it! Having said that it’s my first bike with any sort of CC. Love your work John!
