Step up to win

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 MXGP 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 define pure racing aggression. If you’re ready to step up the CRF250R is where you start your winning move.

Redesigned 49mm Showa™ USD Forks

New top and bottom yokes, steering stem and axle work with redesigned outer tubes; internals have been remade to deliver consistent 250-spec. damping reaction and feel from the very first movement.

Power Up 249.4cc DOHC Engine

More direct airflow in and a straighter exhaust out improves slow-speed throttle feel and picks up mid- to top-end acceleration and power past peak, while a new crankshaft design spins up faster.

3-Level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

The CRF250R is now armed with HSTC, to minimise spin and maximise drive; there are light, medium and strong intervention levels to suit terrain or riding style. The system can also be turned off.

New HRC-Specification Front Brake Caliper

A design taken straight from our factory race bikes the two-piston front brake caliper reduces lever play by 57% by resisting heat fade. The re-machined body is more rigid, for consistent feel.

3-Mode Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB)

Tailor the engine’s character to suit what you’re racing against: Mode 1 serves up a balanced power and torque delivery. Mode 2 smooths power and torque while Mode 3 punches aggressively.

3-Level HRC Launch Control

Take the advantage. Level 1 operates at 8,000rpm, and is suitable for muddy conditions. 8,500rpm Level 2 is the base setting for dry conditions. Level 3 launches at 9,500rpm for expert riders.

New Aluminium Twin-Spar Frame

We’ve carefully tuned the frame’s rigidity balance to factory rider spec, to boost corner speed over rough, torn up track conditions and improve high-speed stability.
