Built To Improve the Way You Ride

Honda has unveiled its 2027 CRF/R motocross and off-road motorcycle lineup, emphasizing performance upgrades developed with HRC factory teams. The new models feature lighter frames, improved engines, and specialized editions for various racing disciplines.
Why it matters
These updates represent the latest iteration of competitive off-road engineering, influencing the consumer market for high-performance motorcycles.
For Honda, race development is measured in the details riders notice after the gate drops. How cleanly the engine drives out of a corner. How confidently the chassis holds a line. And how much energy it takes to ride when the track gets rough. That thinking shapes the 2027 Honda CRF/R lineup.
At the center is the all-new CRF450R, developed with input from HRC and Honda's factory race teams. A new engine, frame, suspension package and ergonomics work together to deliver stronger, more usable power, improved stability, better control and more confidence. It's nearly 10 pounds lighter and makes 10 percent more power, while also feeling easier to place when the pace rises and conditions get rough and rutty.
