2023 Honda CRF250R

Talk about the best of both worlds: the 2023 Honda CRF250RX gives you motocross performance in a bike thats specially tailored to desert races, enduros, and demanding trails. Tailored how? With different gearbox ratios, an 18-inch rear wheel, special engine settings, handguards, a sidestand, a larger fuel tank, and more. We gave this bike a major upgrade last year, and its been racking up trophies ever since. Like the pure-motocross CRF250R, the RX features a double-overhead-cam engine, fuel injection, an all-aluminum chassis, and state-of-the-art Showa suspension. Anyplace where power, precision, light weight and nimble handling is at a premium, this is the bike youll want to be riding.

Features may include:

• NINE-PLATE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

The CRF250RX uses a nine-plate design to improve durability and hookup. That means less slip at peak horsepower, better torque transmission through the clutch pack and greater durability. Plus, the clutch pull is lighter, and you get improved engagement feel.

• HRC Launch Control

Were talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the CRF250RX will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

• FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

By tipping the CRF250RXs fuel injector back 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. Its little details like this that put the CRF250RX up front.

• DUNLOP GEOMAX TIRES

The CRF250RXs Dunlop Geomax tires are specially designed for enduro use. The AT81 tires are specd at 90/90-21 for the front and 110/100-18 for the rear. You read that right: the CRF250RX rolls on an 18-inch rear wheel.
