Honda Africa Twin vs Honda Wave RSX FI

ESTIMATED SIMULATION

Run the comparison →

The Honda Africa Twin (2025) and the Honda Wave RSX FI (2026) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Honda Africa Twin is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 244 kg; the Honda Wave RSX FI is a cub / underbone with 109 cc, 8.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 315.3 hp/ton versus 49.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda Africa Twin is 537% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): Honda Africa Twin 3.02 s, Honda Wave RSX FI not reached (top simulated speed 88 km/h). In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Honda Africa Twin (with ABS) and 18.5 m for the Honda Wave RSX FI (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda Africa Twin stops 3.6 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 88 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Honda Africa Twin and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda Wave RSX FI. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration

Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
