CRF250RX

Of all the off-road bikes we make, there’s something very, very special about the CRF250RX. And it’s even better this year.

Combining the explosive power, light weight and no-compromise performance of a 250 motocrosser, it’s fine-tuned by our engineers (and racers) for stellar performance in off-road events, like Baja, the GNCC series and Hare and Hound racing.

We start with our CRF250R (including all the upgrades for this year) and dial the RX in with an 18-inch rear wheel, special ECU settings, handguards, a convenient sidestand, a larger fuel tank, and much more that make it a fantastic choice no matter where you ride.

Key differences between the “RX” has over the “R” model:
🔴 Larger fuel tank (8 vs 6.3)
🔴 Kick stand
🔴 18″ rear tyre (R has 19″)
🔴 51t rear sprocket (R has 50)
🔴 Softer suspension setting
🔴 Handguards
🔴 ECU settings

New for 2025:
🔴 Updated main frame constructed of 70% new components to optimize rigidity and improve handling characteristics.
🔴 New subframe mounting point optimizes lateral rigidity and reduces energy transmission from the rear of the bike to the front.
🔴 The rigidity of the steering stem, triple clamps, outer fork tubes and front axle have all been revised to match the frame updates.
🔴 The fork features new springs, kit-fork-inspired Bending Control Valves, seals and oil for a consistent feel throughout the stroke while minimizing harsh feedback.
🔴 A new shock spring, reservoir, shaft and oil seal contribute to a consistent stroke feel to match the fork updates.
🔴 The linkage has been updated to a one-piece structure that enhances rigidity, to improve tracking and stability performance. It also features a new leverage ratio that decreases pitching while improving bottoming resistance.
🔴 The front brake caliper has an updated piston and seal grooves for consistent performance throughout the moto. It also features new machined accents.
🔴 The redesigned airbox provides a straighter pathway for airflow, improving throttle control and top-end power.
🔴 Increased crank rigidity enhances midrange torque.
🔴 The revised muffler and header-pipe design is straighter and smoother, improving acceleration.
🔴 New ECU maps offer smoother delivery while retaining strong torque and power throughout the rev range.
🔴 The redesigned bodywork features smooth, flat surfaces to promote freedom of movement and offer a large contact point for gripping the bike.
🔴 A new map switch offers the same Honda Selectable Torque Control settings as the CRF450R.
🔴 Rear-shock removal time has been cut in half by eliminating the need to remove the subframe in order to access the shock.
