Honda 2 Wheels India has announced that the Africa Twin Adventure Sport will launch in the Indian market. This latest iteration of the company’s iconic adventure model features an updated color palette. Here are the top five highlights of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport.
Africa Twin is a name deeply rooted in the Dakar spirit. The experience of winning the most challenging desert rally four times in a row, including the debut, is the original creation of the XRV650 Africa Twin. Africa Twin opens a new chapter for this myth. More powerful than ever, this car offers driving comfort while maintaining the ethics of the attractive Dakar NXR750 engine.
