2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports deliveries start in India

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. has commenced the deliveries of 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports in India.  The first customer was handed over the key of his all-new 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports at Honda’s exclusive premium big-bike dealership – the Honda BigWing in Gurugram, Haryana.

Introduced in 2017, Africa Twin, the flagship adventure-tourer motorcycle from Honda’s global line-up was the first 1000cc ‘Make in India’ model by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India. Since its Indian debut the mighty Africa Twin’s tribe celebrates over 200 adventure lovers.

The 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports (Honda’s first BSVI compliant big bike in India) was launched in both Manual (for the first time) and DCT transmission variants by Ricky Brabec (Reigning 2020 Dakar Rally World Champion from Monster Energy Honda Team) at a grand event in March 2020.

Inheriting the “go anywhere” spirit of its celebrated predecessors, #TrueAdventure gets bigger with 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports. A completely brand new adventurer from the wheels up, the 2020 Africa Twin brings with it the look and feel of a true rally machine. Smaller, slimmer and 5 kg lighter, Honda’s off-roader legend gets a new bigger engine, new lightweight chassis, new electronics, new suspension, and is power-packed with loads of new features for total control on all terrains!

Speaking on the occasion, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Director – Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Starting the BSVI era of its premium motorcycle business, Honda introduced the brand new 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports in March this year. We are pleased to announce the first delivery to the proud #TrueAdventure lover. The 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sports takes the ‘go anywhere’ spirit one step ahead. So pack your bags & get ready as #TrueAdventure is back!”
