2025 Honda CRF250R Downdraft Intake and Exhaust

The combination of 79 mm bore and short 50.9 mm stroke produces a high-revving engine with plenty of room for large titanium valves. The engine breathes and revs — the keys to making power. As well, the DOHC cylinder-head design let our engineers straighten out the intake and exhaust tracts to improve power and response. The intake is short and just about arrow straight, and the exhaust flows efficiently too. You’ll experience serious power and throttle response.

2025 Honda CRF250R Plenty of Torque

More torque at low revs means better drive out of corners, so the shape of the piston and connecting rod, as well as valve timing, is optimized for combustion consistency and thereby exhaust efficiency at lower revs. The bridged-box design of the piston uses a reinforcing structure between the skirt and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline. Big torque down low, huge power up top. A winning formula.

2025 Honda CRF250R Durable Clutch

The CRF250R 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. Clutch pull remains light and engagement is easy to modulate.

2025 Honda CRF250R New HSTC

New on the CRF250R for 2025, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) works to minimize rear wheel spin (thus wasted forward drive) and maximize traction. It doesn’t use a wheel-speed sensor, and, importantly, maintains feel at the throttle while managing power — ignition timing and the PGM-FI system are adjusted when the rate of change of RPM goes over a set amount. With three settings plus off to choose from, you can have your bike dialed no matter how much traction there is.

2025 Honda CRF250R Better Breathing

To help the CRF250R breathe more freely, engineers redesigned the entire air-intake system. A new airbox, new filter position, and new intake funnel combine to reduce restrictions to airflow. The result? Better throttle control and more consistent power delivery.

2025 Honda CRF250R Revised Exhaust

In combination with its less-restrictive air-intake system, the CRF250R’s revised exhaust with straighter airflow means smoother engine operation in the mid- to high-rpm range and more-controllable acceleration.

2025 Honda CRF250R Single Muffler

The single muffler exhaust uses a pressed-alloy design for better rider ergonomics and lighter weight. The CRF250R naturally uses a single-pipe header. It routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution.

2025 Honda CRF250R HRC Launch Control

HRC Launch Control: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage.

2025 Honda CRF250R Engine Mode Select (EMS)

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.

2025 Honda CRF250R Revised ECU Settings

Our engineers never stop searching for ways to make it easier to go faster. Revised ECU settings combine with the other chassis and powertrain improvements to make the CRF250R an all-around better performer.

chassis & suspension

2025 Honda CRF250R New Aluminum Fram

The CRF250R’s aluminum frame has been radically improved for 2025 with the aim of increasing rigidity and stability. Using 70% new components, Honda engineers have managed to improve torsional and lateral rigidity in every direction, resulting in more-controlled and predictable handling —particularly in rough conditions.

2025 Honda CRF250R Improved Showa For

To complement the new frame, the CRF250R also boasts an extensively revised Showa spring fork. Everything from the outer tube to the axle was rethought and redesigned, resulting in improved low-speed damping, reduced friction, and enhanced rigidity. It all adds up to better control and lower lap times.

2025 Honda CRF250R Easier Shock Access

When you’re riding, you’ll appreciate the revised Pro-Link rear suspension with a new link system that’s less prone to flexing, and the redesigned shock with smoother action. When you’re wrenching, you’ll love the new ease of access to the rear suspension assembly. Removing the shock used to take about 21 minutes, by our watch, but can now be done in about 9 minutes. No more removing the seat, muffler and rear frame.

2025 Honda CRF250R Short Swingarm

The CRF250R’s short swingarm helps make it light, and also improves rear-wheel traction and reduces unsprung mass — important considering how much power is on tap.

2025 Honda CRF250R Large Front Brake

The large front-brake disc measures a whopping 260 mm, giving you superior stopping power while also being easy to modulate.

2025 Honda CRF250R Black Rims

They may not help you go faster, but the black D.I.D® rims sure look good.

2025 Honda CRF250RElectric Start

Convenient and lightweight, the electric starter is a huge advantage if you need to restart the engine in the heat of battle. Like the rest of the bike, the lithium-ion battery is both super light and high performing, weighing less than half that of a conventional lead-acid battery.

2025 Honda CRF250RCool Running

Another way the CRF250R keeps its cool: a large radiator, with fins that are angled for efficient airflow.
