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.
The CRF450R HRC Works Edition builds on the same platform with a titanium Yoshimura exhaust, hand-polished cylinder ports, Kashima-coated forks, revalved suspension and a host of additional factory-inspired upgrades.
The CRF250R brings a lightweight, agile approach to the 250 class, with fresh HRC-influenced tri-color styling for 2027. Like the 450, there’s also a CRF250R HRC Works Edition with factory-inspired parts throughout.
For riders who race beyond motocross, the CRF450RX and CRF250RX extend the platform into enduro and cross-country terrain. Purpose-built equipment and tuned power delivery support off-road line choice, traction and control. The CRF450X adds another off-road option, with a wide-ratio six-speed transmission designed for fast, open terrain like dunes and desert.
Different missions call for different tools. Each CRF/R model carries Honda's same focus on race-bred development, usable performance and a stronger connection between man and machine.
