Comfort & Convenience

• HANDGUARDS: Whether you’re ripping through Baja or hustling through some tight woods, handguards are absolutely necessary on a bike like this. That’s why it's equipped with them right from the factory.
• NARROW SEAT AND BODY: Fine-tuning the seat height and narrowing the bodywork make it easier to move around on the bike and enhance rider comfort.
• SIDESTAND: Real enduro bikes need a sidestand, and we’ve given this bike a great one. We’ve tucked it in tight, so it’s out of the way on the trail.
• ELECTRIC START: It's equipped with an effortless electric starter. Convenient and lightweight, it’s a huge deal if you need to restart a stalled bike in the heat of battle.

Engineering

• NINE-PLATE CLUTCH: It uses a nine-plate design to improve durability and hookup. That means less slip at peak horsepower, better torque transmission through the clutch pack, and improved durability.
• SPECIAL PRIMARY AND TRANSMISSION RATIOS: It gets special primary and transmission ratios to handle the fatter midrange power and torque. The ratios let our engineers use the same shaft centerlines as the previous design so the transmission remains light and compact.
• GEAR-POSITION ENGINE MAPPING: An ECU with custom engine mapping for each gear delivers optimal power, setting it apart from the competition.
• HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC): Easily control your bike's traction with the left-side, handlebar-mounted button. It activates our Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system, which offers three customizable traction control settings to optimize your power delivery based on available conditions or rider preference.
• HIGH-CAPACITY RADIATOR: A large radiator provides the cooling capacity needed to sustain the engine's high power output.
• ENGINE OIL SCAVENGE PUMP: Deep in the engine, there’s a special oil scavenge pump that we’ve designed to be especially small and out of the way. While you may never see it, it helps keep the overall design compact.
• SHARED ENGINE/GEARBOX LUBRICATION: A shared engine/transmission oiling design reduces weight and makes the engine more compact, particularly for the right-side cam drive and clutch placement.

Handling

• DUNLOP GEOMAX AT81 TIRES: Dunlop’s Geomax AT81 tires are specifically designed for enduro use. They are spec'd at 21 inches for the front and 18 inches for the rear.
• RACE-BRED CHASSIS: We tuned the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for ideal chassis rigidity and responsiveness to give the bike cornering feel for days.
• RESPONSIVE FRAME: A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.
• 260MM FRONT BRAKE: The front brake disc measures 260mm, which provides excellent brake feel and weight reduction. Front and rear brake-disc guards are included.
• LOW BATTERY MOUNTING: Attention to detail is essential to keeping a bike’s center of gravity low. That’s why we located the battery as far down in the chassis as possible. It’s just another reason the bike handles so well.
• LOW REAR SHOCK MOUNT: With its rear shock mount low on the frame, the bike benefits from a lower center of gravity (CG) and greater handling stability.
• SHORT SWINGARM: The bike's short swingarm reduces unsprung mass, improves rear-wheel traction, and lightens it for improved handling.
• SHOWA® SPRING FORK: Valved specifically for off-road riding, the 49mm Showa fork uses a conventional spring design with a 39mm piston and a 25mm rod. It is designed to give the rider a supple feel while still providing the hold-up needed to resist bottoming under heavy loads like big jumps, bumps, or ruts.
• REAR SUSPENSION: Pro-Link® rear suspension offers 12.1 inches of travel and a lightweight spring for a plush and controlled ride.
• 18-INCH REAR WHEEL: Designed for enduro use, the 18-inch rear wheel-and-tire combo provides better bump absorption and a broader contact patch to smooth out the roots, ruts, and rocks that come with off-road riding.

Performance

• FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM: Tilting the fuel injector at a 60-degree angle sprays fuel directly towards the throttle butterfly, providing the engine with a denser and cooler fuel charge and increasing torque and power.
• DOHC ENGINE: A unique finger-follower rocker design and a double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine layout provide more power and a higher redline.
• BIG BORE/SHORT STROKE: With the 79mm bore and short 50.9mm stroke, it let our engineers create a high-revving engine with plenty of room for large valves—the two keys to making power in the enduro world.
• DOWNDRAFT INTAKE AND EXHAUST: The DOHC cylinder-head design straightens the intake and exhaust tracts for improved efficiency. Straighter ports boost low- to mid-range torque and throttle response.
• SINGLE EXHAUST: The bike uses a single-pipe header and a single muffler. It routes close to the center, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution.
• TITANIUM INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES: Light is right when it comes to a high-revving engine’s reciprocating masses. We use titanium intake and exhaust valves with a super-narrow 20.5-degree included valve angle.
• LARGE-DIAMETER VALVE: The engine's twin-cam design includes large-diameter valves—33mm intakes and 26mm exhausts—which enhance flow at high rpm.
• THROTTLE BODY: With a 44mm venturi designed to increase airflow, the throttle body increases response at low engine speeds. You get power and snap right now.
• BRIDGED-BOX PISTON: The bridged-box piston design features a reinforcing structure between the skirts and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable the high redline.
• HIGH-VOLUME AIRBOX: The airbox and air-cleaner element have a large surface area and high volume, designed to increase midrange power. Additionally, the air filter is easy to service.
• HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAM PROFILES: With input from our HRC factory team, we’ve given the bike cam profiles that help the engine produce ample bottom-end torque while retaining substantial peak power.

Style

• STYLING: Like our factory race bikes, our CRF competition lineup features 2027 graphics, with bold horizontal Honda and CRF logos, along with blue side number plates and rear fender, creating a tri-color look that embodies the Honda HRC racing identity.
• SMOOTH BODYWORK: Blending the body panels enhances the bike's appearance and facilitates easier movement.
• IN-MOLD GRAPHICS: With all the time you’ll spend in the victory circle, you need to look your best. Our in-mold graphics look great and stay looking that way for a long time.
• BLACK RIMS: The DID DirtStar rims are lightweight and strong, while the black color looks good and is easy to clean.

Technology

• HRC LAUNCH CONTROL: The ECU’s special launch control program lets you select the mode, hold the throttle open, and release the clutch. Your bike then takes control, regulating power to the rear wheel based on available traction and turning it into a holeshot-seeking machine!
• ENGINE MODE SELECT BUTTON: Customize your engine's power delivery with the convenient left-side, handlebar-mounted button. It allows you to effortlessly switch between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive modes to suit varying track conditions or rider preference.
