2026 Honda CRF150R Expert overview

The 2026 Honda CRF150R Expert is a junior motocross and competition dirt bike with a liquid-cooled, carbureted, SOHC four-stroke single, a five-speed transmission and kick starting. Its big-wheel setup uses a longer swingarm and is intended to give taller riders a higher seat than the standard CRF150R. The steel-frame chassis has a 37 mm inverted Showa fork, a Pro-Link Showa rear shock and a stock skid plate. It is designed only for competition use by experienced junior riders, with a 150 lb rider weight limit. The bike comes in red; US MSRP is $5,699, plus a $300 destination charge.

Who it's for

This is for experienced junior riders who are ready for a competition-focused motocross bike and need the taller fit of the Expert trim. Its big-wheel layout suits taller young racers riding motocross tracks, while the kick-start, carbureted engine and competition-only design make it a poor fit for beginners looking for a casual trail bike. Riders must stay within the 150 lb weight limit.
