2025 Honda CRF250R Red

Ride to win
Bred in the highly competitive world of professional supercross and motocross, the new Honda CRF250R is our most advanced competition machine to date. Lightweight, agile, and highly responsive, this powerhouse dominates even the most challenging tracks with its torquey engine and redesigned chassis. One lap, and you'll see why winners Ride Red.

Features May Include:

• DOHC engine layout
  With a unique finger-follower rocker design, the DOHC engine maximizes power and raises the redline, resulting in superior performance.
• Single-muffler exhaust
  A pressed-alloy design lets us shape the muffler for better rider ergonomics and lighter weight.
• Fuel injection system
  The 60-degree angled fuel injector delivers a cooler and denser fuel charge, increasing power and torque. These meticulous details put this bike ahead of the competition.
• High-performance cam profiles
  Drawing inspiration from our esteemed HRC factory team, we have meticulously crafted the cam profiles to enhance bottom-end torque and power without compromising the exhilarating peak performance.
• Big bore/short stroke
  With a 79.0mm bore and short 50.9mm stroke, our engineers designed a high-revving engine with ample space for large valves, the core elements of power in motocross.
• Downdraft intake and exhaust layout
  The DOHC cylinder-head design straightens intake and exhaust tracts for more efficient flow. It also boosts low-speed and midrange torque and throttle response.
• Titanium intake and exhaust valves
  High-revving engines benefit from lightweight components, such as titanium valves with a 20.5-degree angle and ovalized valve springs with finger rockers that are treated with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for durability.
• Bridged-box piston
  The bridged-box piston design is the final piece of the engine performance package. It features a reinforcing structure between the skirts and wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline.
• High redline
  Our DOHC design and big-bore/short-stroke engine lead to an impressive rev limit, peak power, and peak torque.
• High-volume airbox and air cleaner
  Compared to the previous generation, the air-cleaner element features a larger surface area and volume, and the airbox features a more direct flow to the engine, resulting in improved power.
• Throttle body
  The throttle body, with a 44mm venturi designed to increase airflow, provides improved power and responsiveness at low engine speeds.
• More power
  Feel free to hold that throttle open and head for the first turn—the 2025 model is designed to win that critical holeshot drag race. You’ll also feel the increased low-end to mid-range torque.
• Yoshimura exhaust
  The CRF250RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. It uses a stainless header with a titanium mid-pipe and muffler and is made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick, the exhaust tucks away for better ergonomics, too. 
• Exclusive works edition
  Simply stated, the best of the best. The 2025 CRF250RWE is top-of-the-line and includes exclusive upgrades such as a hydraulic clutch, special cylinder head, upgraded rims, exhaust system, revalved suspension, and more. Only a limited number are available.
• New frame
  A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars. For 2025, 70 percent of the frame components are new, working seamlessly with the suspension for responsive handling.
• New tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem
  New triple clamps in the 2025 model work with the updated frame, fork, and steering stem for better suspension feel and improved rigidity, responsiveness, and turning performance.
• Showa® spring fork
  The bike has a 49mm Showa® fork with a conventional spring, 39mm piston diameter, and 25mm rod diameter, improving precision, handling, and feel.
• Rear suspension
  The bike features Pro-Link® rear suspension, offering 12.3 inches of travel and a lightweight spring for a plush and controlled ride.
• 260mm front brake
  The front brake disc measures 260mm, providing excellent brake feel and weight reduction. Front and rear brake-disc guards are included.
• Low battery mounting
  Attention to detail is essential to keeping a bike’s center of gravity low. That’s why we located the battery low in the chassis. It’s just another reason the bike handles so well.
• Low rear shock mount
  With its low rear shock mount on the frame, the bike benefits from a lower center of gravity (CG) and chassis stability.
• Short swingarm
  The short swingarm helps make it light and also gives the bike better rear-wheel traction. It reduces unsprung mass, which is important considering how much power you have on tap.
• Rear subframe
  The subframe uses extruded rear members that produce a 20-percent reduction in weight versus the previous generation. Since that weight comes off the bike's top, it contributes to the low center of gravity.
• Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires
  With the Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires front and rear, you'll experience optimal grip and feedback across various track surfaces and conditions.
• Higher-capacity radiator
  It boasts a six percent larger radiator area compared to previous generations, providing the ample cooling capacity needed to sustain the updated engine's higher power output.
• Gear-position engine mapping
  The smart ECU delivers tailored engine mapping for each gear, giving riders the edge with optimal power in every gear choice.
• Nine-plate clutch assembly
  An advanced nine-plate clutch design reduces slip at peak horsepower, improves torque transmission, and ensures greater longevity.
• Wide water-pump gear
  Making the water pump drive gear wide gives it a more tooth-engagement area for longer component life.
• Engine mode select button
  This handlebar-mounted button allows you to adjust the character of engine power delivery with your thumb. Choose Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive to suit track conditions or rider preference.
• Engine oil scavenge pump
  Deep in the engine, there’s a special oil scavenge pump that we’ve designed to be especially small and out of the way. While you may never see it, it helps keep the overall design compact.
• Special primary and transmission ratios
  The bike has specialized primary and transmission ratios to handle more midrange power and torque without adding weight.
• Two-lead shift drum
  Changing from three to two lead tracks on the shift drum improved the shift feel between second and third gears.
• "H" section crank
  The crankshaft has an "H" cross-section design, similar to a structural "I" beam. This design increases strength and reduces weight compared to traditional designs, which is crucial as it rotates as high as 14,000 rpm.
• Lithium-Ion battery
  The bike’s Lithium-Ion battery is both super light and high-performing. It weighs less than half the weight of a conventional lead-acid battery.
• Shared engine/gearbox lubrication
  A shared engine/transmission oiling design reduces weight and makes the engine more compact, particularly for the right-side cam drive and clutch placement.
• Titanium fuel tank
  Every gram counts, so the bike 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.
• Lower seat/narrower body
  For 2025, we have fine-tuned the seat height and narrowed the bodywork to make moving around on the bike easier and enhance overall rider comfort. 
• New "stacked" CRF logo
  Like our factory racebikes, our 2025 CRF competition lineup features new vertically stacked CRF logos that look fast even sitting still. 
• Smooth styling
  Blending the body panels enhances the bike's appearance and facilitates easier movement.
• Black rims
  The DID DirtStar rims are lightweight and strong, and the black color looks good.
• "In-mold" graphics
  It is important to look your best while in the victory circle. Our "in-mold" graphics are durable and visually appealing.
• Detailed bodywork mounting
  It may seem small, but every second counts when you’re servicing your bike between motos. Fewer bolts mean enhanced serviceability at the track or in your garage.
• HRC launch control
  This ECU program lets you select a mode, hold the throttle open, and release the clutch. Your bike then takes control and launches you ahead, turning it into a holeshot-seeking machine!
• Electric start
  The electric starter is convenient and lightweight and is especially helpful if you need to restart a stalled bike in the middle of a race.
