for youngsters new to off-roading, fun is the top priority. Parents, on the other hand, are more concerned with safety, reliability and ease of maintenance. The CRF 50 F is designed to satisfy everyone..

the smallest CRF is powered by a 49 ^cm3, single-acting, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine that delivers progressive power of around 3 hp, making it easy for beginners to exploit. Bore and stroke are set at 39 x 41.4 mm, with a volumetric ratio of 10 to 1. The ø 11 mm carburetor guarantees constant, linear performance at all engine speeds, regardless of how wide the throttle is opened.

fuel consumption is low, allowing long riding sessions between 2 fill-ups. At the same time, a throttle limiter gives parents the freedom to adapt available performance to their rider's abilities.

the ignition (with key switch) is maintenance-free, as is the timing chain, which features an automatic tensioner to optimize durability. Final drive is via a reliable, low-maintenance 420-pitch chain. The air filter is easily accessible and washable, while the exhaust is particularly quiet.

the CRF 50 F is equipped with a 3-speed gearbox, combined with an easy-to-use automatic clutch.
