The final instalment of Honda's video series offers a much wanted glimpse at the bike in action, along with a fascinating discussion between HRC riders and Honda engineers.

The white Africa Twin is the traditional manual, the red bike is equipped with DCT, subtle differences distinguish the two. The red bike has a second parking brake calliper mounted low down on the rear wheel, the engine cases are also different.
Speaking of DCT, the riders spend a significant amount of time discussing the world first off road specific dual clutch transmission. Judging by the action shots the Africa Twin is going to be happily at home running for miles over open savannah and the DCT may make that even more enjoyable as it would allow for easier shifting while standing on the pegs.
