In 2010, Honda introduced the world's first dual clutch transmission (DCT)*1 in a motorcycle, and has continued to evolve the DCT ever since. 2012 saw the introduction of the DCT in the NC700 series and the CTX700, expanding the circle of users. In 2016, this technology was introduced to the CRF1000L Africa Twin to expand riders’ field of use. And in 2020, it evolved to become quieter and smoother, with control closer to the rider's senses.

&nbsp;

A Dual Clutch Transmission is a transmission in which clutch and shift operations are automated, while maintaining the structure of manual transmission with its advantages such as direct-feel acceleration.

With no need to operate the clutch, the rider can concentrate on the throttle and brake operation while riding, and smooth acceleration and deceleration is possible with fewer interruptions of driving force during shifting that inevitably occur with normal manual transmissions due to their structure.

As a transmission with two clutches (dual clutch), one for the 1st, 3rd, 5th gear and starting, and the other for the 2nd, 4th, and 6th gear, Dual Clutch Transmission is the world's first*1 technology for motorcycles.

*1: As of June 2010 (based on Honda research)

There are two gear shifting modes: the AT mode, which automates shifting operation, and the MT mode, which allows the rider to select a gear of their choice at any time. In the AT mode, in addition to the regular D mode, the S mode can be selected for sportier riding. The gears can be shifted at any time with shift switching according to the riding conditions, and after shifting the gears, the machine automatically returns to the AT mode.

Control flow of the 2020 CRF1100L Africa Twin

The CRF1100L Africa Twin is equipped with a 6-axis IMU (inertial sensor) that detects angular velocity and acceleration for pitch, roll, and yaw. The addition of cornering run detection control enables gear shifting closer to the rider’s senses, while enhancing launch control and gearshift control delivers a sense of security and directness.
