A True companion ‘on & off-road’
The adventure begins, where the road ends.

The inverted cartridge type fully adjustable front forks come with a 230mm stroke- the longest in its class- with a good range of rebound and compression settings. With a class leading 250mm ground clearance, riding this bike off-road is a glide. The Dual LED head lights- when lit, evoke memories of those Dakar winning machines.
Attractively priced at Rs. 12.90 lacs (ex-showroom New Delhi) the DCT Africa Twin will be available in New Victory Red color.
