2024 Honda CRF Models Return, Along With CB300R Naked Street Bike
If you're looking to play in the dirt, here's Honda's 2024 lineup.

Hot on the heels of Honda Racing Corporation factory team riders Chase Sexton, Hunter Lawrence, and Jett Lawrence cleaning up at the AMA Supercross championships, American Honda officially announced its returning 2024 CRF lineup. Both the Performance and Trail arms of the CRF family are present and accounted for, and they’re also bringing the 2024 CB300R along for its turn in the returning model spotlight. 

All in all, the CRF Performance family consists of nine models for 2024, while the CRF Trail family boasts four bikes, and the CB300R stands in the street, alone. Let’s start out with the 2024 CRF450 lineup, with a slew of specific motocross bikes aimed at specific purposes. 
The 2024 Honda CRF450 lineup is powered by a 449.8cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke single cylinder engine with bore and stroke of 96.0mm by 62.1mm. It's a Unicam overhead cam design, complete with four valves. The titanium intake valves measure 38mm, while the steel exhaust valves measure 31mm.  

The 2024 Honda CRF450R is the bike that swept the 2023 AMA Supercross series as ridden by the likes of Sexton, Lawrence, and Lawrence. Features include a 44mm throttle body and a Showa suspension. Move up to the 2024 Honda CRF450RWE (or Works Edition) for a raft of upgrades over the regular CRF450R, including a Yoshimura exhaust, D.I.D. DirtStar LT-X wheels, a D.I.D. DM2 Gold chain, Twin Air air filter, Hinson clutch basket and cover, Renthal Kevlar grips, Kashima-coated outer fork tubes, titanium oxide-coated fork legs and 18mm shock shaft, and more.  

If you like the CRF450R platform, but you’re looking for either greater value, more off-road capability, or a street legal version, don’t worry. Honda has variants for all those needs as well. The 2024 CRF450R-S is based on the 2022 CRF450R and skips some of the updates that came into play in 2023 so Honda can keep the price down for budget-conscious riders, yet they can still get that new bike feeling. 

The 2024 CRF450RX and CRF450X are ready for off-road competition, as well as trails. Both have proven track records in a variety of off-road competitions. The 450X has been a bike of choice in the Baja 1000 and AMA NHHA series. Finally, those looking for a street legal option can check out the 2024 CRF450RL, which offers dual sport options to suit a wide variety of riders. 

For riders looking to hit the trails, the 2024 CRF250R, CRF250RX, CRF250F, CRF125F, CRF110F, and CRF50F are here for riders big and small. While all these bikes are available in Honda Red, the CRF110F and CRF50F also come in some eye-catching white and bright colorways that you’ll definitely want to check out. 

Finally, of course, there’s the 2024 CB300R—the lone street bike in the bunch. (If you’re new to following returning model announcements, they typically come in waves—so don’t worry, other returning street models from Honda will surely be announced soon.) 

All the bikes listed here have a variety of pricing and availability information, so here’s a chart to keep it all straight:
