There’s Nothing Small About The Size Of Its Performance…

Honda’s CRF150R is, hands down, the best MX machine in the Mini Class. Designed around a four-stroke powerplant that showcases plenty of Honda technology, it’s also graced with the performance that will keep you up at the front of the pack and on the podium. And the CRF150R is available in two versions to fit a wider variety of riders: The CRF150R and the CRF150R Expert, which features bigger wheels, a higher seat and longer swingarm.

Fine-Tuned Suspension.

Showa® front and rear gives you unrivaled suspension action, especially over smaller, faster bumps that unsettle a bike’s chassis.

High Tech = High Performance.

Thanks to the Unicam® cylinder head, this four-stroke engine is more powerful yet more compact, improving handling, power and efficiency.

Winning Is Everything.

Make Your Move.

Competitive performance for juniors.

Big wheels, a sturdy chassis, a powerful, liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine – Packed full of high performance technology, the CRF150R is the best place for future champions to hone their skills.

Step up

The journey goes on.

When things start to get more competitive you need a bike that can step up with you. This is it – the CRF150R. Armed with a powerful 4-stroke Unicam® engine, that’s smooth and easy to control, a light twist-grip action gives accurate throttle response while its wide rev-range leaves other riders trailing in the roost. Now, you’re ready.

Starting advantage

The CRF150R uses performance technology based on our championship winning CRF450R and CRF250R.

And this bike handles. Only one step below its bigger brothers, the CRF150R carves corners, rides ruts and catches air like only a CRF-R can. The strong, slim and lightweight steel tube frame mounts a low-friction, long-travel, fully adjustable inverted front fork – just like its big brothers. With performance DNA this strong, you’ll be winning races in no time

Get airborne

Strong, light and agile.

With strong, lightweight frame, large wheels and revised suspension settings for the 37mm inverted Showa front fork and Pro-Link rear suspension system, the CRF150R offers the rider the confidence needed to get ‘airborne’. Once you find higher levels of expertise, manoeuvres on the ground, and in the air will start to come naturally to you.

Start Every Race In First Place.

Guess which mini-MXer was the first ever to win Bike of the Year from Dirt Rider? The answer: Honda’s CRF150R. So if you’re looking for your first bike, you just can’t beat it. Featuring the revolutionary Unicam® engine, race-ready Showa® suspension and track-ready chassis, its performance is designed to give every racer a head start.

2016 Honda CRF150R www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine / Drivetrain

Increased durability & maximum control

Heavy-duty clutch is fitted with tough friction plates for increased durability but retains a light pull at the lever giving you maximum control.

Maximum power output

Maintenance-free digital CD ignition system includes a throttle angle sensor so it can tailor the ignition curve to provide maximum power output whenever you grab that throttle.

Easy start from hot or cold

Although the 4-stroke engine is hard to stall, it’s nice to know that an automatic decompression system makes starting easy, hot or cold.

Less shifting more enjoyment

Broad 4-stroke power characteristics allow the CRF150RB to use a five-speed gearbox for less shifting so you can concentrate on your riding.

More immediate throttle

Flat-slide, FCR 32 mm carburetor is fitted with an accelerator pump for more immediate throttle response. Go ahead, use the 4-stroke advantage to grab the holeshot.

Consistent engine operating temperature

Liquid cooling and a Nikasil cylinder liner help to extend engine life. The cooling system’s lightweight aluminum radiator helps to reduce weight and ensure consistent engine operating temperature no matter how hard you push.

Power when you want it

Short-skirted piston and light flywheel mean the CRF’s willing engine builds revs very quickly – no waiting for the power to “hit”.

Excellent mass centralization

Ultra-high rpm, 149 cc engine is one of the most advanced in the sport, its unique 4-valve, Unicam design gives it very compact dimensions and excellent mass centralization for effortless direction changes on the ground or altitude changes in the air. Rail it or whip it with confidence.

Chassis / Suspension

Easy braking in any condition

Lightweight front and rear disc brakes with high-performance pads offer powerful, easy to modulate braking even when you’re riding in the worst conditions.

Precise control over any terrain

Lightweight wheels and hubs help to reduce un-sprung weight allowing the wheels to effectively follow uneven terrain. The strong and rigid, but lightweight, box-section aluminum swingarm further enhances rear wheel tracking offering precise control whether you’re braking over stutter bumps or root infested trails.

Comfort on any terrain

Pro-Link rear suspension system features a fully adjustable Showa shock that effectively soaks up whatever the track or trail can throw at it.

Improved turning precision

Wide-section aluminum top and bottom triple-clamps hold the inverted forks rigidly and position the fork tubes far apart giving you improved turning precision and control.

Riding comfort & traction

37 mm, inverted, Showa cartridge front fork features adjustable compression and rebound settings. The fork’s low-friction design will be especially appreciated when it’s helping the front wheel to follow small surface irregularities without breaking traction.

Excellent performance

Lightweight high-tensile steel frame with large-diameter tubing provides excellent turning performance and keeps you tracking straight through the whoops.

Additional Features

Personalized comfort

Fully adjustable, high-quality controls include comfortable grips, dogleg levers, side-pull throttle and a folding shift lever. Cleated, folding, self-cleaning footpegs offering excellent grip complete the impressive collection of thoughtful touches.

Stay comfortable & stay put

Slim, well-padded seat is comfortable and allows maximum movement. Non-slip seat cover gives you excellent control.

Consistent power

Large-capacity airbox and reusable two-stage foam air filter means power won’t drop off during long, dusty rides.
