             2020 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin revealed


bikeslover123.blogspot.com

A new engine, more power, revised chassis & better electronics on a bike that is leaner, lighter & styled more aggressively. So, is it wrong to term the 2020 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin as a completely new bike? 
After teasing the updated derivative of its full-size adventure tourer since July 2019, Honda has now officially introduced the 2020 CRF1100L Africa Twin. The 2020 model will arrive in two versions: a standard derivative & the Adventure Sports ES version. Both versions will further be available either with a manual or Honda's DCT automatic transmission. While the 2020 model is basically a new bike in itself (due to major components being replaced with completely new units), the standard version still gets better off-road capabilities than before. The Adventure Sports ES steps it up a notch with additional tech & features.
Visually, the 2020 Africa Twin bears a handful of changes. The overall front profile has been made more aggressive by a slightly tweaked fairing & headlight design. the tailpiece also receives a similar makeover. Further, to enhance riding comfort, the 2020 Africa Twin gets a taller & tapered aluminium handlebar (raised by 22.5mm), a 20mm narrower seat (for better body movement) & removable aluminium rear sub-frame, which has also been narrowed by 40mm. For better manoeuvrability, both on the road and off it, the 2020 Africa Twin gets long-travel suspension up front, courtesy of fully-adjustable 45mm inverted Showa forks (9.1 inches of travel). At the back, suspension duties are carried out by a fully-adjustable Pro-Link setup with a remote preload adjuster. Numerous weight-saving measures have been carried out on the 2020 Africa Twin, courtesy of a lighter swingarm, new steel frame & a lighter Li-ion battery.
The biggest change, however, is that of the heart. The 2020 Africa Twin gets a new & bigger 1,084cc liquid-cooled Unicam four-stroke parallel-twin motor. The outgoing bike has a 998cc version of the same motor. Apart from the bigger capacity, the new motor also has a reworked stroke (increased by 6.4mm), which allows for wider power & torque band, starting much lower in the rev range. Coupled with an improved air-intake & exhaust system, the 2020 Africa Twin produces 100bhp & 105Nm of torque, compared to the 2019 model's 94bhp & 99Nm.
As mentioned above, the 2020 Africa Twin gets an updated suite of electronic riding aids. The list now includes a new six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which adds additional features like wheelie control, cornering/selectable ABS, rear-lift control, DCT cornering detection and cornering lights. As the 2020 Africa Twin works via a throttle-by-wire system, this has also allowed it to receive the seven-way adjustable Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) feature & six dedicated riding modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road (New), User 1 & User 2. The last two offer rider-customisable settings. The riding modes, along with the new Cruise Control unit, are offered as standard on both manual & DCT versions. 
Another significant change comes in the form of a new command centre, courtesy of a new 6.5-inch LCD touchscreen dash display. The new screen unit also features integrated Apple CarPlay (new) & Bluetooth connectivity.
Over the standard version, the Adventure Sports ES offers a bigger 24.8-litre fuel tank (18.9-litre tank on the standard model), Showa Electronically-Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA) suspension, tubeless tyres, heated grips, accessory socket, larger skid plate & an aluminium rear rack. It also gets an adjustable seat height & windscreen.

KTM RC 390 Modified as Final Year college project

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir...
