CRF250R

We’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the 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. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

Improves durability and hookup. That means less slip at peak horsepower, better torque transmission through the clutch pack and greater durability. The clutch pull is also lighter, with improved engagement feel.

The key to riding a 250 fast is the powerband. The CRF250R boosts the critical midrange torque and power significantly, giving you the advantage on the track

The DOHC cylinder-head design let our engineers straighten out the CRF250R’s intake and exhaust tracts. The intake is short and just about arrow straight, and the exhaust flows more efficiently too. The straighter ports also help boost low-speed and mid-range torque as well as throttle response.

We’ve also installed the CRF250R’s fuel injector at a 60-degree angle, the injector sprays fuel 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 upfront.

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.

The CRF250R uses a shared engine/transmission oiling design. Why? Combining the two systems shaves weight and helps make the engine more compact, especially when it comes to placing the right-side cam drive and the clutch so close together.

The CRF250R is equipped with an effortless electric starter. Convenient and lightweight, it’s a huge deal if you need to restart a stalled bike in the heat of battle.

The 49mm Showa® fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase the CRF250R’s front-suspension precision, handling and feel. The 39mm piston diameter and 25mm rod diameter guarantee a plush feel and supple action.

Great handling starts with a superior frame, and that's one place where the CRF250R's chassis puts you out front. First, it's light. 680 grams lighter than the previous generation's. By making the frame's main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly, we made the chassis more responsive by fine-tuning the lateral rigidity. The result is a bike that gets into, around, and out of corners fast.

We've given the CRF250R five millimeters more suspension stroke, along with a lightweight spring. Combine that with a new Pro-Link ratio, and you get a 110-gram weight savings along with a more plush ride.

The CRF250R exhaust system utilizes a single straight exhaust port for good torque and low-rpm drivability. Single muffler with internal baffling means that the CRF250R is is optimized for torque delivery.

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 thinner than our previous plastic unit, freeing up more space and helping to centralize fuel mass.

The short swingarm not only makes the bike lighter, it also reduces unsprung mass and allows better rear-wheel traction. The low rear shock mount to the frame contributes to the low the centre of gravity and chassis stability.
