Based on Honda's successful 250cc motocrosser, the all-new CRF250RX is specially designed for closed-course off-road competition. Joining the CRF450RX in the quest for podiums in series like GNCC and WORCS, this off-road weapon features all of the same performance-driven features as the CRF250R, but adds off-road-specific features like a larger fuel tank, aluminum sidestand, and 18-inch rear wheel.
CRF250RX Key Features
- Large-capacity, 2.2 gallon resin fuel tank for completing long closed-course off-road loops
- 18-inch rear wheel to enable taller tire sidewalls for improved traction in technical conditions
- Forged aluminum sidestand is designed to be lightweight yet strong
- Sealed drive chain to withstand the elements
- Suspension with settings dedicated to closed-course off-road use
Engine/Drivetrain
- High-performance, 249cc single-cylinder engine with dual-overhead-cam design and high rev limit, offering great performance
- Finger rocker arm with Diamond Like Coating (DLC) maximizes valve lift while retaining a low engine height
- Downdraft intake layout produces strong power and enables great throttle response by reducing resistance, thereby improving air-charging efficiency
- Dual exhaust ports enable ideal air-charging efficiency
- Cam profile, which is based on feedback on the CRF250R used by the Team HRC factory MX2 race team, provides strong off-corner acceleration
- Intake- and exhaust-port geometry provides strong low-rpm engine power while also maintaining stellar top-end performance
- 44mm throttle body offers ideal low-rpm intake airflow for strong corner-exit performance
- Honda's piston oil jet with five nozzle holes provides superior piston-cooling efficiency and reduced knocking, enabling a precise ignition-timing setting for optimum power delivery
- Lightweight AC generator keeps weight to a minimum and minimizes friction losses
- Electric-start standard for easy, fast engine startup
- Easily selectable Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive riding modes enable easy tuning depending on rider preference or course conditions
- Selectable HRC launch control provides a steady stream of torque for excellent performance on race starts
- Exclusive ECU settings for ideal engine performance and rideability in off-road situations
Chassis/Suspension
- Lightweight aluminum frame with tapered main spars provides great rider feedback
- Low center of gravity reduces front-end lift for strong acceleration
- Renthal Fatbar® handlebar reduces steering-system weight, and flexes for comfort
- Top triple clamp features two handlebar-holder locations for moving the handlebar rearward and forward by 26mm, ensuring rider comfort. When holder is turned 180 degrees, the handlebar can be moved an additional 10mm from the base position, resulting in four total unique handlebar positions
- Newly shaped footpegs are 20% lighter and shed mud more easily, giving the rider great feel and confidence in all riding conditions
- Engine guard allows excellent airflow, boosting engine-cooling performance
- 49mm Showa SPG coil-spring fork with dedicated settings for ideal handling and comfort in technical conditions experienced in off-road racing
- Fork protectors have outstanding coverage for protection in off-road conditions
- Black rims offer strong presence parked in the pits or out on the trail
- Lightweight front-brake caliper uses pistons of different diameters (30mm and 27mm) for strong braking performance
- Front-brake hose resists expansion for precise braking
- Smooth bodywork layout eases rider movement
- In-mold graphics are durable and resistant to peeling caused by washing or abrasion
- Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires provide optimum feel and traction in challenging riding conditions
