With 7 HP more than the 800MT Explore [IBEX], it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the [800MT Explore [IBEX]](/cfmoto/800mt/2024/explore-ibex) has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners.
