2026 Honda® NT1100 DCT

With the heart and muscle of an Africa Twin adventure bike, the agile reflexes of a sportbike, and the easy-going demeanour of a touring bike, the Honda NT1100 opens up nearly endless opportunities for motorcycling fun. Weekdays, its nimble handling and comfortable seat height make it perfect for commutes in the city. Weekends, its relaxed riding position and luggage options make it ideal for riding to the horizon and back. Weather iffy? The NT1100 has you covered, thanks to a sleek but protective fairing with adjustable windshield, plus heated handgrips. For sport-touring enthusiasts, there’s no better way to enjoy two-wheel freedom than in the saddle of an NT1100.

Features may include:

• Africa Twin Power

Designing a great motorcycle always begins with equipping it with a great engine and the NT1100 is no exception. The 1,084 cc parallel-twin eight-valve Unicam engine at the heart of the NT1100 gets its DNA from the acclaimed Africa Twin, so you know it’s got buckets of torque down low. A sport-tourer also needs ample top-end horsepower, which is why engineers modified intake and exhaust components and other tuning elements to give the engine a broad powerband and a character all its own.

• Adjustable Riding Modes

Want to tweak engine performance to better suit your riding style or the road conditions? No problem with the NT1100’s adjustable riding modes. Choose from three default modes: Urban, which delivers an all-round middle setting of engine power and engine braking; Rain, which reduces power and braking for wet surfaces; or Tour, which gives full engine power and standard engine braking for strong performance while carrying a passenger and luggage. Want a setting somewhere in between? Two customizable User modes let you do just that.

• Throttle By Wire

Throttle By Wire (TBW) ensures accurate engine response through the full range of throttle openings, minimizing any delay in power delivery so you have full control of the NT1100’s broad powerband.

• Predictable Performance

With Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), three-level Wheelie Control, and Cornering ABS, you can ride with extra confidence even in less-than-ideal conditions.

• HSTC Assist

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) controls torque output by detecting differences in the slip ratio between front and rear wheels. When the rear tire loses traction on a slippery surface, HSTC is engineered to instantly kick-in and suppress torque by controlling fuel injection to help inhibit rear-tire slip. This system is user adjustable and can be turned off.

• Available DCT

The NT1100’s available Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) is an automated manual transmission built with the same operating principles as a manual transmission, but it shifts automatically so you can enjoy the ride without having to worry about the clutch or gears. And best of all, it’s fully adjustable. Choose versatile D mode for commuting in the city or comfortable cruising on the highway, or sporty S mode for winding roads and situations such as accelerating when merging or overtaking on highways. In S mode, three levels of shift timing are available — from a sportier level that uses more of the high rpm range, to a level that allows full torque mainly in the mid rpm range. Want even more control? Switch to MT mode and use the paddle shift buttons on the left handlebar to override the automatic gear selection, or put it in manual mode for full control.
