Short answer: this Honda CRF110F review starts with the number that frames the whole decision — a new 2027 Honda CRF110F costs $2,799 plus $300 destination, $3,099 before tax, for Honda’s youth trail bike. This Honda CRF110F review is clear about what the bike is and is not: not a motocrosser, not a race bike, and not a street bike — it is a 109cc four-stroke trail bike with a four-speed automatic clutch, built for first-time riders learning to ride off-road. There is no clutch lever to learn, no stalling at every stop, and no manual shifting skill required on day one — and that is the whole point of this Honda CRF110F review.
One framing fact belongs at the top of this Honda CRF110F review: Honda publishes no horsepower, torque, or MPG figure for this bike, so every power or economy number in this Honda CRF110F review carries its non-Honda source label or does not appear at all. The bike’s case is not speed — it is a low 25.9-inch seat, a light 169-pound weight, electric start with a kick backup, fuel injection since 2019, and a transferable six-month warranty. It sits in Honda’s youth ladder between the smaller CRF50F and the manual-clutch CRF125F, and this Honda CRF110F review keeps that ladder straight throughout.
Honda CRF110F Overview and Model-Year Updates
The headline of this Honda CRF110F review is simple: Honda’s youth trail bike has been doing the same job since 2013, and the 2019 fuel-injection generation made it better at that job without changing its character.
Latest US Year Is 2027: Red Only Returns
Latest US year is 2027: Red only returns — and this Honda CRF110F review states the heading verbatim while describing the color situation accurately. Honda’s own 2027 page lists the CRF110F in Red only at $2,799 plus $300 destination, unchanged from 2026, and dealer listings dated November 2026 confirm 2027 stock at that MSRP. Honda’s 2027 CRF110F page confirms the price, the 169-pound curb weight, the 25.9-inch seat, and the transferable six-month warranty in one place. The word “returns” needs one honest note: Honda’s 2026 page already listed Red only, so 2027 continues Red-only rather than bringing Red back after a White 2026 — White ended after 2025, as the next section explains. For the power story behind the price, see our Honda CRF110F performance guide.
History: 2013 Debut Replacing the CRF70F, FI for 2019
History: 2013 debut replacing the CRF70F, FI for 2019 — the two dates this Honda CRF110F review asks every buyer to remember. Honda launched the CRF110F for 2013 as the replacement for the CRF70F, the second-smallest trail bike in its lineup at the time, with a carbureted 109cc engine, electric start, and a kick-starter backup from day one. The second generation arrived for 2019 with the change that defines every used-bike decision since: an electronically controlled Keihin PGM-FI fuel-injection system replacing the carburetor, a new twin-spar steel frame, new bodywork in CRF Performance Line styling, and a 1.0-gallon steel tank with an integrated fuel pump and a low-fuel light on the handlebar. The 109cc engine carried over unchanged. Never write a 2013–2018 bike as fuel-injected, never write a 2019-or-newer bike as carbureted, and never pay fuel-injection money for a carbureted bike. One safety note for used buyers, even though it is not a review heading: Ultimate Motorcycling’s grip-recall report confirms CPSC recall 24-288 covering 2023–2024 CRF110F bikes, so every used bike from those years needs a VIN check before money changes hands.
Honda CRF110F Engine and Specifications
The engine is the heart of this Honda CRF110F review: a small, air-cooled single tuned for gentle, manageable power, not peak output.
109cc Air-Cooled Single at 50.0 by 55.6mm
109cc air-cooled single at 50.0 by 55.6mm is the verified specification at the core of this Honda CRF110F review: a 109cc air-cooled SOHC two-valve single-cylinder four-stroke, with a 50.0mm bore and 55.6mm stroke, running 9.0:1 compression. That layout is why the bike pulls smoothly from just above idle — the power lives low and gentle, where a first-time rider needs it, and the top end is deliberately limited. One circulating figure gets labelled here, because this Honda CRF110F review checked it against Honda’s own pages: some aggregator pages print about 7 hp at 7,500 rpm with 9 Nm of torque. That is a non-Honda aggregator estimate, not a Honda figure and not a dyno result, and this Honda CRF110F review never quotes it as one.
19mm PGM-FI Throttle Body and Four-Speed Gearbox
19mm PGM-FI throttle body and four-speed gearbox is the rest of the drivetrain story in this Honda CRF110F review, and the gearbox is the feature that defines the bike. The four-speed gearbox uses an automatic centrifugal clutch — there is no clutch lever, nothing to coordinate with the left hand, and no stalling when a new rider stops. The rider shifts with the foot lever only, which is why this Honda CRF110F review calls the automatic clutch the whole point: it lets a child learn balance, throttle control, and trail riding before ever facing a manual clutch. Since 2019 the fueling has been Keihin PGM-FI through a 19mm throttle body, which means linear, hesitation-free power, easy cold starts, and no clogged pilot jets after winter storage — the pre-2019 carburetor was a very small unit, and this Honda CRF110F review describes it only as a small carburetor, since Honda’s 2013 page does not confirm a size worth printing. Final drive is a #420 chain, 14T/38T, per Honda’s 2027 spec page.
Honda CRF110F Price and Market Availability
Price comes early in this Honda CRF110F review because the value case is simple: the cheapest fuel-injected Honda youth bike with a real four-speed gearbox, and a price that has not moved in two years.
Honda CRF110F Price in the USA: $2,799 Plus $300 for 2027
Honda CRF110F price in the USA is $2,799 plus $300 for 2027 — $3,099 before tax, verified on Honda’s own 2027 page and in November 2026 dealer listings. That figure is the anchor of this Honda CRF110F review: a new youth trail bike, fuel-injected, with electric start and a six-month transferable warranty, for just over $3,000 before tax. The 2027 price is unchanged from 2026, which makes a discounted leftover 2026 bike a genuinely smart buy. The bike is sold in Red only in the US for 2027, so color choice is not a decision. Dealers stock the CRF110F alongside the CRF50F and CRF125F, and this Honda CRF110F review found 2027 stock listed at MSRP in November 2026. For the full used-versus-new maths, see our Honda CRF110F buying guide.
White Was Offered 2023 to 2025: Not Red Only Every Year
White was offered 2023 to 2025: not Red only every year — and this Honda CRF110F review verifies the color history honestly. CPSC recall 24-288 confirms the CRF50F and CRF110F were sold in red or white for 2023–2024, and dealer evidence confirms White 2025 units in the US market. From 2026 onward, Honda’s own pages list Red only, so a used White bike is a 2023–2025 machine by definition — and any seller claiming a White 2026 or 2027 US bike has mislabelled it, unless Honda’s announcement says otherwise. One practical consequence for used buyers: every White bike falls inside or beside the 2023–2024 recall years, so the color itself is a reminder to run the VIN check.
| 2027 model (USA) | Price + destination | Seat / wheels / weight |
|---|---|---|
| CRF110F (2027, Red only) | $2,799 + $300 = $3,099 | 25.9 in / 14-12 in / 169 lb |
| CRF125F (step-up, 2027) | $3,599 + $300 = $3,899 | 29.1 in / 17-14 in / 194 lb |
| CRF50F (step-down, 2027) | $1,899 + destination | 21.6 in / 10 in / 111 lb |

Honda CRF110F Design, Features and Technology
Design and technology in this Honda CRF110F review means honest youth-bike equipment: a steel frame built for learner abuse, fuel injection, and nothing the bike does not need.
Automatic Clutch With No Lever: Built for First Rides
Automatic clutch with no lever: built for first rides is the design truth this Honda CRF110F review returns to again and again, because it is what separates this bike from every manual-clutch machine in Honda’s lineup. There is no clutch lever on the handlebar at all — the centrifugal clutch engages automatically as the rider opens the throttle, and the four-speed foot shifter changes gears without any hand coordination. Total Motorcycle’s 2026 CRF110F review confirms the positioning: the bike is Honda’s top-selling dirt bike precisely because it removes the hardest skill from the first ride. One flag this Honda CRF110F review handles honestly: a single low-quality source claims carb-era bikes had a manual clutch. Honda’s own line describes the CRF110F as auto-clutch and clutch-free across generations, and the doc heading carries no year split — so this Honda CRF110F review treats the automatic clutch as a whole-line feature and does not repeat the manual-clutch claim. Other youth features: a keyed ignition so a parent controls when the bike runs, a throttle limiter screw for beginners, drum brakes at both ends with no ABS, and no headlight in any year.
Electric Start Since 2013 With a Kick Starter Backup
Electric start since 2013 with a kick starter backup is one of the best learner features in this Honda CRF110F review, and it has been there from the first year. A beginner stalls — often, and at the worst moments — and pushing a button beats kicking a flooded bike back to life every time. The kick lever stays as the backup for a dead battery, which matters on a bike that may sit for weeks between rides. Since 2019 the fuel-injected engine has made starting easier still: no choke ritual, no jet clogging after storage, and the low-fuel light on the handlebar warns before the 1.0-gallon steel tank runs dry. The 31mm fork gives 4.3 inches of travel and the single rear shock gives 3.8 inches — Honda’s current page calls it a single shock, and this Honda CRF110F review uses Honda’s current wording rather than an older manual summary’s Pro-Link label.
Honda CRF110F Riding Experience and Comfort
Riding experience is where this Honda CRF110F review turns from paperwork to dirt: a light, low, forgiving bike that builds confidence on the first ride.
Riding Position, Handling and Low-Speed Maneuverability
Riding position, handling, and low-speed maneuverability are the CRF110F’s quiet strengths, and this Honda CRF110F review rates them as the bike’s real product. At 169 pounds with a 25.9-inch seat, the bike is light enough for a young rider to pick up after a tip-over and low enough to put both feet down at a stop. Motocross Hideout’s CRF110F guide confirms the broader ownership picture: a simple air-cooled engine, a four-speed semi-automatic transmission with no clutch to learn, and a bike built to be reliable and easy to ride. The honest limit is that the bike is a first bike, not a forever bike — kids outgrow its size and its 132-pound rated limit. For the service reality behind the riding, see our Honda CRF110F reliability guide.
Honda Rates It to 132 lb: Adult Use Exceeds the Limit
Honda rates it to 132 lb: adult use exceeds the limit, and this Honda CRF110F review states that plainly because it is a buying fact, not a footnote. Honda’s owner’s manual lists the CRF110F as a rider-only motorcycle with a maximum weight capacity of 132 pounds including rider and accessories, and no cargo capacity at all. An adult riding it exceeds Honda’s rated limit — the suspension, brakes, and frame were sized for a child, and this Honda CRF110F review will not soften that into “adults can ride it too.” The throttle limiter also matters here: the bike ships with a stopper screw restricting throttle to about 50 percent, and the manual warns never to run without either screw fitted. Parents buying for a child near the limit should budget the step-up to the CRF125F rather than stretching the 110F past its rating.
Honda CRF110F Review: Pros, Cons and Verdict
The verdict of this Honda CRF110F review: Honda’s youth trail bike is exactly what it claims to be — the easiest full-gearbox trail bike a first-time rider can buy, at a price that undercuts its fuel-injected rivals, with the warranty and dealer network to back it. The caveats are about growth, not quality: kids outgrow its size and its weight rating, and the automatic clutch that makes it easy also means a second learning step when the rider moves to a manual-clutch bike.
Main Advantages and Limitations of the Honda CRF110F
Main advantages and limitations, stated with equal weight, close the argument of this Honda CRF110F review. Advantages: a forgiving automatic clutch with no lever to learn; fuel injection since 2019 with easy cold starts; electric start plus a kick backup; a low 25.9-inch seat and 169-pound weight that build confidence; a keyed ignition and a throttle limiter for parental control; and a transferable six-month warranty. Limitations: no Honda power figure to brag about, and the circulating estimates are just that — estimates; a soft, non-adjustable suspension that bottoms under fast or jumping riders; only four gears with an automatic clutch, so there is no clutch skill carried forward to the next bike; a 1.0-gallon tank that ends long trail days early; a 132-pound rated limit that rules out adult use; and no headlight or road equipment of any kind. The video below in this Honda CRF110F review is Motocross Hideout’s CRF110F review — honestly labelled as an owner’s review with a cold start and used-buying advice, not a Honda test, and the clearest owner-eye look at what this Honda CRF110F review covers, including what to check before buying used.
Six-Month Transferable Warranty Included From Honda
Six-month transferable warranty included from Honda is the closer this Honda CRF110F review is happy to end on, because it is verified on Honda’s own spec page: “Transferable, six-month included, limited warranty.” That transferable term matters twice over. First, it is real warranty coverage on a youth bike, where the Yamaha rival’s factory warranty runs only 90 days. Second, transferable means the coverage follows the bike to its second owner within the term, a genuine selling point on the used market. The limit is equally plain: six months is six months, not a year. And the final word of this Honda CRF110F review is simple: if you need a first trail bike for a young rider — no clutch to learn, fuel injection, a limiter for the early rides, and a price just over $3,000 — the CRF110F is the sharp, honest buy, with the CRF125F waiting when the rider outgrows it.
Honda CRF110F Review FAQs
Direct answers to the Honda CRF110F review questions buyers ask most, with every price and spec labelled by source and year.

$2,799 for the 2027 bike plus $300 destination, says this Honda CRF110F review — $3,099 before tax, unchanged from 2026.
What is the difference between the CRF110F and the CRF125F?
Clutch and size, says this Honda CRF110F review: the 110F has a four-speed automatic clutch, a 25.9-inch seat, and a 169-pound weight, while the 125F has a manual clutch, a 29.1-inch seat, and a 194-pound weight. The 110F is the step below the 125F.
What engine does the CRF110F have?
A 109cc air-cooled SOHC two-valve single, says this Honda CRF110F review — 50.0 by 55.6mm, 9.0:1 compression, Keihin PGM-FI with a 19mm throttle body since 2019, and a four-speed automatic clutch.
How much horsepower does the CRF110F make?
Honda publishes no figure, says this Honda CRF110F review. The circulating 7 hp estimate comes from non-Honda aggregator spec sheets and must never be quoted as a Honda or dyno number.
Is the CRF110F fuel-injected?
Yes since 2019, says this Honda CRF110F review. The 2013–2018 bikes were carbureted; never pay fuel-injection money for a carbureted bike.
Does the CRF110F have a clutch lever?
No, says this Honda CRF110F review — the four-speed gearbox uses an automatic centrifugal clutch, so there is no lever to learn. That is the bike’s whole point for first-time riders.
Does the CRF110F have electric start?
Yes, says this Honda CRF110F review — electric start since 2013, with a kick starter kept as a backup on every year.
How much does the CRF110F weigh?
169 pounds, says this Honda CRF110F review — curb weight ready to ride with a full tank, per Honda.
Is the CRF110F street legal?
No, says this Honda CRF110F review: off-road only, 50-state off-road legal under EPA and CARB standards, but never street legal and cannot be plated in any US state.
Does the CRF110F have a warranty?
Yes, says this Honda CRF110F review: a transferable, six-month included, limited warranty per Honda’s spec page — unlike the Yamaha rival’s 90-day warranty. Never extend it to a year.
Is the CRF110F good for beginners?
Yes, says this Honda CRF110F review: an automatic clutch, a low seat, gentle power, a throttle limiter, and light weight make it a genuine first bike — with adult supervision for youth riders and off-road use only.
What is the CRF110F service schedule?
Miles and months, not race hours, says this Honda CRF110F review: oil and valve checks every 600 miles or 6 months, chain inspection and lubrication every 300 miles or 3 months, and a strainer service per the year manual. No spin-on oil-filter element exists on this bike.
Can an adult ride the CRF110F?
Not within Honda’s rating, says this Honda CRF110F review: rider-only to 132 pounds, so adult use exceeds Honda’s limit.
