- CRF150R
- CRF150R Expert
As Amsoil Honda hotshot Carson Mumford demonstrates on the amateur national circuit, where he regularly posts moto wins and podium finishes, Honda's smallest motocross machine is more than competitive against its competition, thanks to a Unicam® four-stroke engine (based on the power plants of the larger Honda motocrossers) that offers a spread of ample, useable power and torque across the rev range. Suspension duties are handled by Showa®, with a 37mm inverted fork and Pro-Link® rear link system, and new graphics for 2018 align the model with the CRF450R. In addition to the standard version, Honda offers the CRF150R Expert, which features larger wheels, a taller seat and a longer swingarm.
Engine/Drivetrain
- High-performance Unicam cylinder-head design.
- Compact, lightweight engine assembly weighs only 43.6 pounds.
- Twin-sump lubrication system separates the oil supply for the crankshaft, piston and valve train from the clutch and transmission. This ensures a cool supply of oil to the clutch, eliminates potential clutch and transmission material contamination of the engine oil, reduces the amount of circulating oil and permits the use of a smaller oil pump.
- Cylinder head, piston, camshaft and carburetor provide power, torque and rideability throughout the powerband.
- Lightweight, compact, internal auto decompression and handlebar-mounted hot-start system provide easy starting, hot or cold.
- 32mm Keihin FCR carburetor with an accelerator-pump circuit provides accurate fuel metering, resulting in crisp throttle response and god rideability throughout the powerband.
- Suspension settings provide good action through even the toughest of track conditions.
- Exhaust system uses a lightweight stainless-steel exhaust header and re-packable aluminum muffler.
- Durable close-ratio five-speed transmission.
Chassis/Suspension
- Front and rear suspension settings unique to the CRF150R deliver ideal bump-absorption characteristics.
- Lightweight, high-tensile steel frame with large-diameter frame tubing and cross-member provides excellent turning performance and straight-line tracking.
- 37mm leading-axle inverted Showa cartridge fork features friction-reducing design to improve compression and rebound control.
- Pro-Link® rear suspension.
- Strong, lightweight wheels are durable and minimize unsprung weight.
- Lightweight front and rear disc brakes with high-performance pads offer powerful, precise braking.
- Stout 15mm front and 17mm rear axles incorporate a surface-treatment for added strength and durability.
- Large-capacity airbox and reusable two-stage foam air filter.
- Lightweight plastic body components (radiator shroud, side covers, rear fender, seat base, fuel tank, front fender and front number plate) offer a slim, aggressive style.
- High-quality Dunlop tires.
- HRC works-type rear-brake system integrates the rear master cylinder and fluid reservoir, eliminating the separate rear master-cylinder reservoir and hose.
- Consult owner's manual for optional racing parts
- Specifications subject to change
