CRF250R Range
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.
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.
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.

Take a look at our MX2 tool, enduro-ready missile and the ultimate CRF250R.
CRF250R - HRC to the core.
The MX2 class is a relentless, close-quarter battle. And our CRF250R has proved itself a worthy weapon for the fight. Competition has led its evolution over time, through increments and steps, into a platform that the amateur MX enthusiast – as well as the pro-racer – can extract the utmost out of, every metre of every lap.
And for 2025, the CRF250R shares the exact same chassis as the new CRF450R. So that means incredible high speed steering ability and agility, with precise control from redesigned frame and Showa™ suspension as well as more mid-range drive and power past peak for its stunning engine. The CRF250R is a bike with race winning HRC DNA at its very core.
CRF250RX - All terrain action.
The incredible abilities of the CRF250R give the enduro-ready CRF250RX a head start. Of course, as an MX bike it shines but this is a tool designed to deal with everything an enduro course serves up, from gnarly climbs to intense technical terrain.
Sharing all the 2025 updates the CRF250RX also has a larger, 8L plastic fuel tank for extended range, and 21-inch/19-inch front and rear wheels wearing Dunlop™ AT81 tyres. For enduro use there are unique settings for both engine ECU and Showa suspension, opening up performance across a broader range. Standard-fit knuckle guards protect hands and levers and an aluminium side stand tucks away neatly.
CRF250RWE - Our ultimate CRF250R.
For the first time the CRF250RWE – inspired by the bikes raced by American Honda – is available in Europe. And it’s more than a little special. It’s a lot special. Of course, it starts out in the same pit box as the new CRF250R, with the same upgrades to chassis and engine. But then things go extra factory specification.
A Yoshimura R&D™ exhaust is mated to a TwinAir™ filter boosting torque and top-end power. A hand ported intake manifold, unique ECU settings and hydraulic clutch system are part of the setup. Then there are the details you can see; like the Throttle Jockey seat cover, Metallic Red cylinder head cover, anodized aluminium fork caps and rear shock compression adjuster. The Showa rear shock also wears a titanium coated damper rod, the front forks Kashima-coated outer tubes and Titanium-coated slide pipes while the 110-section rear MX33 Dunlop™ tyre improves stability while sliding. Stunning graphics are the finishing, factory touch.

Race Ready
The CRF250R has new bodywork and chassis upgrades. And we’ve evolved the plastics to make it even easier to move where you want, when you want. The radiator shrouds covering the 6.3L titanium fuel tank offer smoother knee trajectory back and forward and everywhere around the bike race-minimal lines are clean and clear. Marking out the redesign are fresh CRF family graphics, and, for the first time, a Honda Wing sits up front on the mudguard.
Competition Never Stops
In a normal year where the CRF450R leads, the CRF250R follows. But MX2 competition does not wait and this is not a normal year so, for 2025, we’ve given the CRF250R the exact same chassis upgrade as the MXGP machine. And make no mistake. This is a full-factory specification upshift, driven by what it takes for HRC to give our riders the bike – 250 or 450 – they need to win. At any level, it’s tough. But that’s what we like. We’ve raced MX for over 50 years, experienced all the highs and lows. What we know, is what you see here. The 2025 CRF250R.
