The new motor produces 102bhp of maximum power and 105Nm of peak torque. The Africa Twin CRF 1100L is available in manual as well as DCT versions in the international markets. The company is planning to get both transmission options to the Indian market.

Standard features on both variants include full-LED lighting and a 6.5-inch TFT touchscreen display. The Adventure Sports model further benefits from a taller windscreen, larger fuel tank, tubeless tyre compatible cross-spoke wheels, top-box and pannier mounts and wider sump guard.
