Honda Africa Twin vs KTM 500 EXC-F

The Honda Africa Twin (2025) and the KTM 500 EXC-F (2025) 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 KTM 500 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 511 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 315.3 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.02 s and the KTM 500 EXC-F in 4.06 s; the Honda Africa Twin is quicker by 1.05 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda Africa Twin (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 500 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda Africa Twin stops 10.1 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 158 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 KTM 500 EXC-F. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, 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.
