HONDA CRF100F (2012-2018) Specs, Performance & Photos

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.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CRF100F, an entry-level off-road motorcycle, in its ninth consecutive production year. The bike had the same characteristics as previous ones without any modifications. At its release, the 2012 Honda CRF100F was sold at an MSRP of $2,880.

For suspension, the bike's aluminum frame was fitted with 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.

In the braking department, the motorcycle packed drum braking units both front and rear, delivering optimum stopping power.

The bike's visual department was characterized by features 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.

The 2012 Honda CRF100F was powered by a 99cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, fed by a 22 mm piston-valve carburetor. It delivered 10 hp with a maximum peak at 7,000 rpm and 5 Nm (4 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm and was assisted by a five-speed gearbox and a final chain drive.
