Honda’s CRF-F series returns for 2026

Honda's beloved CRF-F series dirt bikes are back for 2026, enticing new riders.

In a world where outdoor adventures are often overshadowed by screens and urban chaos, Honda steps in like a knight in shining armor, waving the flag of the CRF-F family. The latest announcement? The CRF50F, CRF110F, and CRF125F are making a glorious return for the 2026 model year. These machines aren’t just bikes; they’re a lifeline for those yearning to escape the mundane grind of daily life. Affordable, reliable, and downright fun, they’re the perfect gateway to a world of dirt and adrenaline—legally, of course, in off-road parks nationwide. But let’s be honest, are we really surprised? It’s Honda, after all.

The legacy of Honda’s trail bikes

Anyone who has ever dared to twist the throttle of a dirt bike knows that most of the legends in the sport owe their start to the likes of Honda trail bikes. Colin Miller, the American Honda Manager of Public Relations, puts it bluntly: “Ask any dirt-bike enthusiast how they got their start—even some of the top racers on start lines at major racing events—and there’s a very good chance they’ll say it was on a Honda trail bike.” It’s not just a statement; it’s a testament to Honda’s relentless pursuit of champion-making. So, what’s next? Maybe the kid on the CRF50F today will be the next big name in racing tomorrow—like, who knows, Jett Lawrence?

2026 CRF50F: The starter bike of champions

Let’s dive into the details, shall we? The CRF50F is the ultimate entry-level dirt bike, crafted for those pint-sized adventurers itching to take their first ride off the pavement. With a lightweight design that practically begs to be thrown around and a low seat height that ensures even the smallest riders feel like they’re on top of the world—this bike is the golden ticket. Powered by a reliable 49cc four-stroke engine, it delivers just enough oomph to keep things exciting without sending the little ones flying over the handlebars. And can we talk about the suspension? It’s designed to handle the inevitable bumps without turning a ride into a spine-cracking nightmare. Parents, rejoice! Your kid isn’t just learning to ride; they’re building confidence and skills that will stick with them for a lifetime.

2026 CRF110F: The bridge to bigger thrills

Now, for those who have outgrown the CRF50F but aren’t quite ready to jump on a full-sized beast, meet the CRF110F. This bad boy has quickly become the top-selling dirt bike in the powersports industry, and it’s easy to see why. With a 109cc four-stroke engine, it offers a smooth, manageable power output that keeps the thrills coming without overwhelming the rider. The ergonomics? Top-notch, my friend. The low seat height coupled with friendly controls gives young riders the confidence they need to tackle new trails. And let’s not forget the rugged build that promises to endure years of backyard adventures. What’s not to love?

2026 CRF125F: For those who want more

For a step up, we have the CRF125F. This bike is the definition of reliable fun, perfect for those who are just beginning to appreciate the off-road thrill. It’s like a trusty sidekick for the aspiring adventurer, and it’s available in both standard and Big Wheel configurations—because who doesn’t want options? The dependable power and suspension setup inspire riders to push boundaries while enjoying the trails with friends and family. And yes, both versions are off-road legal across all 50 states. Honda delivers once again, proving that they’re not just about making bikes; they’re about shaping experiences.
