Motorcycle Protection – Comparing Africa Twin Crash Bars and Africa Twin Adventure Sports Crash Bars

We will discuss the GARDA Crash Bars for the Honda Africa Twin and the GARDA Crash Bars for the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports.

Both crash bar variants offer a high level of protection and, importantly, are dedicated to specific motorcycle models—they are not interchangeable. Although they are built in almost identical configurations, they mainly differ in mounting points, which are crucial to the overall structure of the crash bars.

Crash bars designed for the Honda Africa Twin cannot be mounted on the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports model and vice versa.

The Honda Africa Twin crash bars are lighter and more compact, which makes them suitable for everyday riding and less demanding routes.

On the other hand, the crash bars for the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports are more robust, making them better suited for extreme conditions where additional protection is necessary.

Moreover, both crash bar models can be complemented with other accessories for Honda models, such as the adjustable GARDA light mounts, which protect auxiliary lights during rides. By positioning the lights within the crash bars, the risk of damage in case of a fall is minimized.

How Do Crash Bars for the Honda Africa Twin and the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports Differ?

Common Features of Both Models:

• Durable Construction: Both crash bar variants are made of 27 mm diameter tubes with a 2 mm wall thickness, ensuring high impact resistance.
• Optimal Force Distribution: With 5 support points on each side, the crash bars provide optimal stability and motorcycle protection.
• Precise Workmanship: TIG welding guarantees durability and excellent connection of components.
• Easy Dismantling: In both the Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports crash bar versions, you can easily dismantle them by unscrewing only 6-7 bolts, making motorcycle servicing easier.

Differences Based on Motorcycle Purpose:

• Honda Africa Twin is a more versatile model, perfect for daily riding and light trips. The crash bars designed for this model perform well in urban conditions.
• Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a motorcycle designed for long, demanding expeditions. The crash bars for this bike can be bulkier and provide better protection in extreme conditions.

Which Crash Bar Model to Choose for the Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports?

Choosing the right crash bars mainly depends on the type of bike you own, but also on your riding style and needs. If you own a Honda Africa Twin and seek protection for everyday riding and light trips, crash bars for this variant will be the perfect choice—they are compact and easy to dismantle.

However, if you own a Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports and plan long, demanding trips, choose crash bars designed for such journeys. The Adventure Sports model requires more robust protection, especially in extreme conditions.
