AfricanQueens XRV 840 Rallye Forte
 

With the Rallye Forte, AfricanQueens shows how new life can be breathed into the aging concept of the classic Honda Africa Twin.
With finest components, the stock RD04 model is transformed into a highly competitive rally motorcycle.
The dry weight is reduced by a whopping 20 kilograms, the engine power increases by 18 hp.

The chassis is trimmed for uncompromised racing performance, with lightweight and almost indestructible Excel rims and the finest, fully adjustable suspension elements from Öhlins and Marzocchi, which significantly exceed the stability and reserves of the original chassis.

Four handling-favourably low-mounted tanks hold a total of 50 litres of fuel and more than double the range of the Forte when compared to the stock bike.

The light and slim fairing with its distinctive double-headlights provides space for a professional rally cockpit and optimises the Forte for fast and strength-preserving riding over long distances - whether at racing or travel speeds.

The concept is rounded off by a variety of proven and functional components and details, such as the Kevlar engine guard, the wide rally foot pegs, an additional side-stand for easy wheel removal in the event of a puncture and much more.
