Intro
 

CRF 1000R Africa Twin
 

After many years of abstinence, Honda finally stirred up the rally scene again with the CRF 450.
The current factory machine is the template for this conversion of Honda's brand new CFR 1000L Africa Twin. Through our rally kit, the Twin is visually and technically a rally bike, a real CRF 1000R!

The fairing kit made of ABS plastic with PiAA LED headlights is not only by appearance based on the HRC original, it also saves weight and provides enough space for a comprehensive, professional rally cockpit.

The chassis has been reworked for more suspension travel and damping reserves even in rough terrain. High-quality components can be adjusted by the pilot individually and precisely according to the current terrain requirements.

AQ's new AdventureSport stainless steel manifold and a weight-saving performance silencer allow the twin-cylinder to breathe freely, resulting in a stronger push of torque from low revs and a generally more vivid performance. For racetrack or adventure travel assignements, the catalytic converter is removable.

The concept is rounded off by a multitude of functional add-ons and details, such as the carbon engine guard, the rear steel tube handle, the one-piece sport seat and many more.
