The Honda NT1100 was introduced as a new sport-touring motorcycle for the 2022 model year, combining the 1,084 cc parallel-twin engine derived from the CRF1100L Africa Twin with a road-focused chassis, comprehensive electronics and long-distance touring equipment.
The NT1100 was available with either a conventional 6-speed manual transmission or Honda’s 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The specifications below are specifically for the 2022/2023 Honda NT1100 DCT, unless otherwise stated.
Honda’s official 2022 and 2023 specifications confirm that the 2022 and 2023 NT1100 are mechanically very similar. The 2023 model continued with the same 1,084 cc engine, 75 kW output, 104 Nm torque and DCT configuration.
Data regarding the tightening torques of all parts are listed in the ‘Tightening torques‘ overview.

The 1,084 cc engine is based on the power unit used in the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin. For the NT1100, Honda revised the intake and exhaust characteristics to provide smooth acceleration, strong mid-range performance and relaxed high-speed touring.
The 270° crankshaft produces the characteristic uneven firing interval of Honda’s parallel-twin engine.

Transmission
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
The NT1100 DCT uses Honda’s electronically controlled six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission.
The system uses two wet multi-plate clutch assemblies. One clutch operates the odd-numbered gears and the other operates the even-numbered gears.
| Specification | NT1100 DCT 2022/2023 |
| Transmission | 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission |
| Clutch type | Dual wet multi-plate clutch |
| Clutch operation | Electronically/hydraulically controlled |
| Gear selection | Automatic or manual |
| Manual gear selection | Handlebar-mounted switches |
| Number of gears | 6 |
| Final drive | Chain |
| Primary reduction | 1.863 |
| Final reduction | 2.500 |
Gear ratios
| Gear | Ratio |
| 1st | 2.562 |
| 2nd | 1.761 |
| 3rd | 1.375 |
| 4th | 1.133 |
| 5th | 0.972 |
| 6th | 0.882 |
The DCT allows the next gear to be pre-selected while the motorcycle is still using the current gear. During a shift, torque transfer is progressively moved from one clutch to the other.
This provides very fast and smooth gear changes without the need for a conventional clutch lever.
Final drive
| Specification | Value |
| Final drive | Chain |
| Standard chain | RK525MRO |
| Number of links | 122 |
| Front sprocket | 16 teeth |
