MX2 competition is red hot. And you'll find the new CRF250R at the centre of the fight. For 2025 it launches with the exact same chassis upgrades and all its championship-winning pedigree as the CRF450R, for high-speed cornering stability and control. The engine delivers even more mid-range drive and now has the benefit of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for maximum, race-winning rear wheel traction. New plastics and graphics define pure racing aggression. If you're ready to step up, the CRF250R is where you start your winning move.
Great handling starts with a superior frame, and that’s one place where the CRF250R chassis puts you out front. First, it’s light. By making the frame’s main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly we make the chassis more responsive. This year approximately 70 percent of the frame components are new for excellent, responsive turning performance and to work with the new suspension.
Features
New Triple Clamps
New top and bottom triple clamps work with the new frame, revised fork, new front axle, and new steering stem for a more consistent suspension feel throughout the stroke. Together, the new hardware helps improve the responsiveness, rigidity, and turning performance of the new line. The road to perfect balance starts here.
Nine-Plate Clutch Assembly
The CRF250R features a robust nine-plate clutch assembly for better durability and torque transmission. The optimised design reduces slip at peak power, offers lighter clutch pull, and provides an improved engagement feel.
Rear Suspension Linkage
The new frame design on the CRF250R leaves room for a specialised rear shock. The shock’s valving resets fast for better response and handling on any terrain. It even features a special steel spring that cuts weight without cutting performance, so you can own the track - lap after lap.
High Redline
Our better-breathing DOHC design and big-bore/short-stroke engine mean the CRF250R features a high redline and impressive peak power and peak torque.
SHOWA Spring® Fork
The 49mm Showa® fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase front-suspension precision, handling and feel. New springs, seals and valving improve the consistency of the stroke feel throughout the entire range of travel, delivering a smoother and more controlled ride.
260mm Front Brake
The CRF250R’s large front-brake disc measures a whopping 260mm. You get great brake feel and a pattern that cuts down on weight. Front and rear brake-disc guards are part of the package too. And for 2025 a new front-brake caliper and piston seals give you more linear front-brake performance with less lever play.
Fuel Injection System
By installing the CRF250R’s fuel injector at a 60-degree angle, the injector sprays fuel all the way back to the throttle butterfly. The engine gets a cooler, denser fuel charge for more power and better torque. It’s little details like this that put the CRF250R up front.
3-Level HRC Launch Control
Take the advantage. We're talking about a special ECU program here: push the starter button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the CRF250R will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. The lights on the left handlebar cluster tells you when it's activated. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine! Level 1 is suitable for muddy conditions. Level 2 is the base setting for dry conditions. Level 3 launches for expert riders.
More Power
Feel free to hold that throttle open and head for the first turn - the CRF250R is designed to win that critical holeshot drag race. You’ll also feel the increased low-end to mid-range torque.
Smooth Styling
The revamped bodywork features smooth, flat surfaces to increase rider ergonomics, provide better grip, and promote freedom of movement while riding. It’s not just a redesign, it’s a performance upgrade.
Low Seat / Narrow Body
Fine tuning the seat height and narrowing the bodywork makes it easier for you to move around on the bike and help enhance rider comfort.
New Triple Clamps, Axle, and Steering
The CRF250R is a perfectly matched package. New top and bottom triple clamps for 2025 work with the new frame, revised fork, new front axle, and new steering stem for a more consistent suspension feel throughout the stroke. Working in concert, they help improve and balance total rigidity, responsiveness, and turning performance.
