Here’s a list of all the best automatic dirt bikes on the market today. Unfortunately, there aren’t many options for adults, but there are a couple. On the other hand, if you are shopping for a automatic pit bike, there are multiple options to choose from.
All of the major dirt bike brands offer a 50cc option except for Kawasaki. They do, however offer a great 110cc without a manual clutch.
All-in-all, if you’re young or small (or looking for a pit bike), there are quite a few solid options. If you’re shopping for an automatic dirt bike for an adult, you’ve only got a couple of options. And no, there aren’t any 250cc or 450cc dirt bikes that are clutchless. Sorry.
Honda Dirt Bikes Without Clutch
Honda has a reputation for building reliable and solid dirt bikes. And although there aren’t many, there are a couple of Honda dirt bikes that don’t have a clutch. However, these are both small bikes. If you’re looking for an automatic 125cc or 250cc, then you’ll have to look at another brand.
Here are the automatic Honda dirt bikes available today:
Honda CRF50F
The CRF50 Honda is a 50cc, 4-stroke dirt bike that is specifically made for young beginners. Being designed for beginners and young riders, this dirtbike has an automatic clutch, making it easy to ride.
In addition to this being a clutchless dirt bike, it has a soft suspension, smooth power, and a short seat height. This entry-level dirt bike is a great introduction to riding, but it can be used as a pit bike as well. There are a handful of upgrades like adding an aftermarket CRF 50 exhaust, suspension, shocks and more.

Honda CRF110F
The Honda CRF110F is a 110cc, 4-stroke dirt bike that is also made for young riders. This model comes with a four-speed, semi-automatic transmission. (still no clutch to pull in)
Overall, these are great bikes for small riders who are just starting out or who are stepping up from the 50cc class. Although… some adults use these as their automatic pit bikes because there are quite a few CRF110 upgrades that you can do to make them adult-friendly.

Suzuki Dirt Bikes Without Clutch
I’ve owned a Suzuki ATV and dirt bike in the past, but they weren’t my favorite. Admittedly, I think Suzuki has come a long ways since I was riding them. While putting together this list, I wondered if they make automatic dirt bikes and it turns out that they do.
Suzuki DR-Z50
This is another model designed for young riders, featuring a single-speed, automatic transmission. This really is a great little bike for kids. Not only does is this an automatic 50cc dirt bike, but it is also one of the smallest dirt bikes with electric start that I know of.

Automatic VS Semi-Automatic
Are you curious what the difference between automatic and semi-automatic is? Don’t sweat it, it’s actually pretty straightforward.
Here’s a decent video (although the sound is a little low while he’s talking) explaining the differences between manual, semi-automatic, and automatic dirt bikes.
As a recap, here are the main differences:
- Manual
This the typical dirt bike. You have to pull in the clutch lever, shift gears, let out the lever, and then go. - Semi-Automatic
This is the typical little kid/pit bike. These generally have gears, however you don’t have to pull in a clutch lever to change gears. - Automatic
These are rare. The only gas-powered dirt bike with a fully automatic clutch that I know of is for little kids. Other than that, you’re looking at electric dirt bikes.
