2021 Honda CRF150R Features
UNICAM® ENGINE
The CRF150R uses a Unicam engine based on our championship-winning CRF450R. Designed to give you excellent rideability and more power and torque across the rev range, the engine runs consistently at different tracks—it’s an all-around winner.
PERFORMANCE
The CRF150R uses a carburetor featuring a “direct push” accelerator pump which gives you a better, more immediate throttle response.
HANDLING
A lightweight, high-tensile steel frame with large-diameter frame tubing and crossmember delivers excellent turning performance and straight-line tracking.
PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
The CRF150R’s Pro-Link® rear-suspension system features a fully adjustable Showa® shock for superb bump absorption and wheel control.
SHOWA® SUSPENSION
The adjustable 37mm leading-axle inverted Showa® cartridge fork features specially tuned valving for small bumps and a friction-reducing design to improve compression and rebound control.
ENGINEERING
The front disc brake provides powerful, precise braking.
LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS
Strong, lightweight wheels are durable and minimize unsprung weight.
REAR DISC BRAKE
The rear disc brake provides powerful, precise braking.
STYLE
The CRF150R features clean, bold, bright graphics that look like our CRF450R’s. Look like a pro, ride like a pro.
Hi ya Mak….are you certain about the specs you’ve documented above? According to Honda’s site, the 150R is:
1) Kick Start, not Electric;
2) Carb’d, not EFI; and
3) Fuel Capacity is 1.1 gal, not 2.0 gal
Can you confirm or deny?
Thanks!
I hav a 2019,being a race bike(150R) its kick start only?is carburated with an accelerator pump ? holds enough gas for a half day of fun on 94 octane, at 11.7:1 compression you don’t want anything less. Note: if you are planning on trail riding you will need to bump up the slow jet from stock for a more reliable idle and hot start, it’s a 149cc of awesomeness ?
