DOHC engine layout

Pure performance

DOHC engine layout

With a unique finger-follower rocker design, the DOHC engine maximizes power and raises the redline, resulting in superior performance.

Pure performance

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.

Pure performance

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.

Pure performance

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.

More power. Sharper handling.

More power

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.

New frame

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 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.

Lower seat/narrower body

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

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.

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.

Superior frame rigidty

Great handling starts with a superior frame. First, it’s light. By making the frame’s main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly we make the chassis more responsive by fine-tuning the lateral rigidity. The result is a bike that gets into, around, and out of corners faster.
