The latest generation CRF series, the 2026 model, is here
Honda has announced its 2026 motocross machines, the CRF250R and CRF450R, as well as the limited-edition CRF Works Edition (RW). These models inherit the significant improvements made in 2025, while maximizing reliability and performance. This lineup, which firmly establishes Honda’s position as flagship bikes, meets the needs of a wide range of riders, from amateurs to professionals.
The Works Edition in particular is a highly refined vehicle that brings the technology of Honda’s factory machines to the general market, and features special components and exclusive specifications. Delivery of each model is scheduled to begin in November 2025, and reservations have already begun.
Achieving both price competitiveness and high cost performance
Thanks to the collaboration between Honda Motor Europe and its Italian distributor, Red Moto, the 2026 model maintains its competitive price. Despite the recent rise in inflation and parts prices, the price has only been adjusted minimally, demonstrating Honda’s renowned quality and excellent value for money.
As the limited edition Works Edition is in extremely limited stock, early reservations are recommended. The strength of the Honda CRF series is that it offers outstanding specifications and reliability while maintaining an affordable price range.
Supporting the next generation of riders with the Minicross series
Honda will also expand its minicross lineup for junior riders with the 2026 model. In addition to the CRF50F, which is already on sale, the company plans to release models tailored to each rider’s development stage, such as the CRF110F, CRF125F (low and high wheels), and CRF150RB, starting in November. This will allow young riders to become familiar with Honda’s technology and riding feel from an early stage, with the aim of broadening the base of motocross competitions.
Honda is trying to bring the appeal of motocross to more riders through a lineup that covers a wide range of riders, from beginners to elites, and through multifaceted purchasing support measures. The announcement of the 2026 model is not just a model change, but a move that can be seen as a symbol of Honda’s next-generation off-road strategy. Future market developments and user reactions will be closely watched.
