For 2026, the standard Africa Twin and the Africa Twin Electronic Suspension variant are offered in three colour choices including - the Grand Prix Red, the Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and the Pearl Glare White. The Electronic Suspension version continues to feature Showa’s electronically adjustable suspension setup, allowing changes to damping based on selected riding modes.
The Africa Twin Adventure Sports variant gets two paint schemes: Matt Iridium Gray Metallic and Pearl Glare White. The Pearl Glare White option features the HRC Tricolore graphics along with gold-finished wheels. These updates apply across the standard, electronic suspension and Adventure Sports variants.
Under the bodywork, the 2026 Africa Twin continues with the same 1,084cc parallel-twin engine. The motor produces about 100 bhp and 112 Nm of torque and is paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), both of which remain available across the range.
In India, the Africa Twin was earlier on sale but was discontinued following the introduction of BS6 Phase 2 emission norms. With the 2026 model now revealed globally, it is highly likely that Honda will bring this motorcycle back to the Indian market. However this time around, Honda is likely to offer both the standard Africa Twin and the Adventure Sports variant, whereas earlier only the Adventure Sports version was available.
