HONDA CRF100F (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, Honda released the Honda CRF100F, an off-road small displacement machine with the perfect size for younger riders but also for the more seasoned ones. It was in the eighth consecutive production year, packing the same characteristics as previous ones without major changes.

The Honda CRF100F was a small-displacement, off-road, entry-level motorcycle that debuted in 2004 as the successor of the XR100R. It boasted its best features and delivered great off-road worthiness as an intermediate step between entry-level mini bikes and more serious dirt motorcycles.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, such as fork slider covers, a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, a high-mounted single exhaust system, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

For suspension, the bike had installed a 27 mm leading-axle Showa fork on the front that offered 132 mm of travel and a Pro-Link swingarm coupled to a Showa shock absorber on the rear that delivered 147 mm wheel travel.

For braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with drum braking units both front and rear, offering optimum braking performance.

Regarding power, the 2008 Honda CRF100F got its thrust from a 99cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank. It delivered 10 hp with a maximum peak at 7,000 rpm and 5 Nm (4 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
