2024 Honda® CRF250R Base

2024 Honda® CRF250R

Power where you want.Features may include:

• Plenty of torque

More torque at low revs means better drive out of corners, so the shape of the piston and connecting rod, as well as valve timing, is optimized for combustion consistency and thereby exhaust efficiency at lower revs. The bridged-box design of the piston uses a reinforcing structure between the skirt and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline. Big torque down low, huge power up top. A winning formula.

• Durable clutch

The CRF250R’s clutch is big on durability and rigidity. Sporting a total of nine clutch plates and generous amount of springs in the damper chamber, as well as plenty of lubrication, the clutch strength and performance are race-worthy and ready to rock.

• Large airbox

The CRF250R features an air-cleaner element with plenty of surface area and volume. More air equals more power, especially in the midrange. In addition, we’ve made it easier to service the air filter too.

• Light frame

To match an impressive engine performance, Honda engineers built a frame to CRF450R-spec, resulting in a stable and light ride.

• Showa spring fork

Mounted in a triple clamp engineered to optimize rigidity, the 49 mm Showa fork has a slim shape but maintains its conventional spring design that helps prioritize front-suspension precision, handling, and feel. The 39 mm piston diameter and 25 mm rod diameter help to ensure a plush feel and supple action.

• Short swingarm

The short swingarm helps make it light, and also gives the bike solid rear-wheel traction — important considering how much power is on tap. The swingarm’s design focuses on stability and handling.

• Electric start

Convenient and lightweight, the electric starter is a huge advantage if you need to restart the engine in the heat of battle. Like the rest of the bike, the lithium-ion battery is both super light and high performing, weighing less than half that of a conventional lead-acid battery.

• Bigger radiator

Another way the CRF250R keeps its cool: a bigger radiator, with more fins that are angled for better airflow.

• Titanium fuel tank

Every gram counts on a bike in the 250 class, which is why the CRF250R has a titanium fuel tank. Light and strong, it’s also thin and engineered to help centralize fuel mass.
