A new breed of Honda tourer makes its debut.
Taking the heart of the CRF1100L Africa Twin as a starting point, the NT1100 builds on
the platform to offer comfortable, agile, enjoyable performance.
A low seat height and sharp steering geometry combine with high specification suspension
to create a sporting package.
5-way height and angle adjustable screen and upper/lower wind deflectors ensure high-speed
aero efficiency and outstanding weather protection; cruise control is standard, as are slim panniers
and heated grips.
Rider aids include 3 default riding modes, 2 USER custom options, Honda Selectable Torque
Control and Wheelie Control.
Radial-mount four-piston front calipers provide the braking power, 120 70-17 and 180/55-17
front and rear tyres the grip.
A 6.5-inch TFT touch screen rounds out a premium specification and features Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto connectivity.
Comfortable, agile, enjoyable.
The NT1100 in a nutshell.
Sleek, subtle styling delivers efficient aerodynamic performance with a riding position tailored
for touring.
Screen height and angle are 5-way adjustable and upper and lower wind deflectors also work
to protect the rider.
A 6.5-inch TFT touch screen provides full colour, customisable displays and offers Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Cruise control, heated grips and sizable integrated panniers are standard equipment.
The NT1100’s steel semi-double cradle frame employs a relatively short wheelbase and sharp
steering geometry while suspension is via 43mm Showa cartridge-type inverted front forks
and single-tube rear shock.
Rear spring preload adjusts hydraulically.
Dual 310mm front discs are paired with 4-piston radial-mount calipers; tyres are sized 120/70-17
front and 180/55-17 rear.
It also features full-fat performance from the twin-cylinder engine, inherited from the
Africa Twin, but with intake and exhaust tuned for super-smooth acceleration and a pleasing
low-rpm sound.
The performance does not come to the detriment of fuel economy: the engine’s efficiency
allows a 400km range from the 20 litre fuel tank.
The electronic package includes 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control, Wheelie Control,
full LED lights, self-cancelling indicators and Emergency Stop Signals.
And finding a natural home in the NT11000, Honda’s six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission
is an option.
