Honda Australia has confirmed the arrival of its updated 2027 Africa Twin range, following the global unveiling at EICMA 2026 in Milan, with three models joining the local line-up.
The biggest news is the introduction of the all-new Africa Twin Enduro Sports, which Honda describes as its most off-road-focused Africa Twin to date.
The 2027 range receives a significant engine update, with capacity increasing to 1,131cc for the parallel-twin powerplant. Honda claims a 16 per cent increase in peak power and almost seven per cent more torque, along with stronger mid-range performance.
The updates extend beyond the engine, with all three models receiving a new frame, a lighter swingarm, a revised riding position, and a lower centre of gravity. Honda says the changes are designed to deliver sharper handling, improved responsiveness and greater rider confidence.
The new Enduro Sports leads the off-road charge, featuring increased ground clearance, compact rally-inspired bodywork, a reprofiled seat and longer suspension travel. Dedicated off-road riding modes are also included.
The 2027 Australian line-up will comprise:
- Africa Twin Enduro Sports
- Africa Twin and Africa Twin DCT
- Africa Twin Adventure Sports
Honda Australia General Manager – Powersports and Products, Chris Schultz, says the updates build on the strengths of the existing platform while responding to rider feedback.
“The 2027 Africa Twin range builds on the strengths riders already love, with updates that enhance performance, comfort and overall capability,” Schultz said.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the new Enduro Sports model to the line-up as the most off-road-focused variant of the Africa Twin range yet. The Enduro Sports model is the Africa Twin Australian riders have been requesting, so we are really excited for this model.”
