- We've taken a few minutes out from a photoshoot to show you what switches do what on the Honda Africa Twin - because we realised that nobody has done this yet.

It would have been worth mentioning that the toggle gear switches can be used in auto mode to overide the pre-selected auto gear. Say if you want to make a quick overtake when in auto, just press "-" to select a lower gear, the dct will then hold that selected gear allowing the maneuver until the revs drop again, and then it will revert back to auto mode. Clever stuff. I have dct on my nc700x, and have found that's the best way to use it.
thanks, i'm here looking for this information.
I'd never driven an automatic bike before, but my wife surprised me with a 2019 Africa Twin DCT. I thought it would be a nightmare to get used to ( no clutch or foot shifter), but I took to it almost immediately. After having almost 2000 miles on the odometer, I can honestly say I will never own another bike unless it's a newer model Africa Twin DCT. It's the perfect blend of motorcycle, dirt bike and crotch rocket. I couldn't be more impressed.
Michael Harmon Damn i wish there would be some sportier models with dct
What a wife!
Great job guys thank you for that !!
Could you delve a little deeper into the S levels, the ABS and G..gravel button? About as good an explanation as I've seen so far and I will try and ride them back to back before making a choice. Great vid and good luck
Good tutorial thanks. I'm picking up my africa twin dct tomorrow, i haven't ridden one so this will help.
Please buy a clip on mic
How do you rev bomb
Good vid. I own one and love it. On the few frustrating occasions I've had, all were street use only. Worked great off-road, (As well as any 240k Water Buffalo could), and better than alot of my fellow's bikes.
So basically, we can shift down and up gear without: clutching and releasing throttle?
put the sound up ,
how do you get the bike back to neutral "N" ,?
Thank you for your expertise... Great DCT
There is no need to necessarily go on Manual . You can still shift up and down whilst in Automatic mode. That's an important miss in this report.
What if you squeeze the left lever out of habit while riding, will the parking brake engage or is it idiot-proof?
its way to far out to mistake, such a long reach your reasoning would kick in and you'd stop before ever engaging it. I amputated mine a bit just to be sure and for putting cold weather bar covers on as well. but it's not a factor, never heard of anyone else doing it either.
Finally, I understood how dct works
Interesting comments on the lags. Thank you. Very nice video.
Equipped with cruise control?
Thanks for that really helpful
Can you ride automatic with the sport mode on?
The sport mode is an automatic mode. Like the D or drive mode. Greetings from Germany
Need it in more countries
Does the dct model have cruise control?
+dehoyos rudolph unfortunately there's no cruise control.
+MoreBikes.co.uk thank you for the reply.
+dehoyos rudolph, Check mccruise dot com, they have cruise control for new AT.
Nice one!
Cannot hear a thing...
CAN NOT HEAR YOU !!!! CHECK YOU AUDIO !!!!
Manual is better
most if not all DCT owners would not agree. and many like myself who never thought they'd give up shifting. There are many bikes I've wanted to add and didn't bc I'd miss the DCT. ride one a week intensively before you say. I've literally never heard one person say they regretted the DCT, you can still shift manually, just a lot easier with your finger/ thumb.
