Three trail models are back
Honda has officially announced that it will reintroduce three entry-level trail models, the CRF50F, CRF110F, and CRF125F, as 2026 models. These lightweight, easy-to-handle models are ideal for riders experiencing dirt bikes for the first time.
CRF50F: A lightweight, low-seat entry model for beginners
The CRF50F is equipped with a 49cc single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine, and is characterized by its fuel-efficient and easy-to-handle power output. The seat height is set low, allowing even novice riders to straddle with confidence. The three-speed transmission and automatic clutch make gear operation easy, making it a highly popular entry-level off-road model.
CRF110F: Ideal for boys and girls taking the next step
The 109cc CRF110F is positioned as a model for a new generation of riders stepping up from the 50F. Its four-stroke engine with smooth power characteristics, low seat height, and four-speed transmission with automatic clutch will give you confidence even when trying out serious off-road riding for the first time. It’s the ideal second bike for families and beginner riders.
CRF125F: For versatile and challenge-oriented riders
The 125cc model CRF125F is available in standard and big wheel specifications, offering greater off-road capability. Its flexible configuration makes it suitable for not only serious trail riding, but also light forest roads and recreational riding. It can be used not only by new riders but also as a fun bike for experienced riders.
A lineup that combines reliability and affordability
The CRF series has a lightweight and durable construction, and is suitable for a wide range of riding conditions, from paved roads to dirt. After its release in 2025, the US model will have new colors and fuel equipment, but will continue to be sold without major changes to the engine or mechanical specifications. In terms of price, the CRF50F will be approximately $1,899, the 110F approximately $2,799, and the 125F approximately $3,599 (Big Wheel version: $3,999), but they remain an attractive option for riders who value high reliability and ease of handling.
Honda’s policies and seeds for the future
The Honda CRF series embodies the company’s philosophy of cultivating motorcycle culture through “entrance to racing,” and many top riders, including Jett Lawrence, are said to have come from this series. With a backdrop of accumulated support and tradition, there is no doubt that the series will continue to play a leading role in the spread of trail bikes in the global market.
The return of the entry-level CRF50F, 110F, and 125F models is good news for new riders looking to easily enter the world of off-road riding. These lightweight, durable, and affordable models will likely play an important role in Honda’s future strategy as a starting point for promoting the next generation of riders.
