2026-CRF250R-DOHC-engine-layout

249cc of race-winning performance

DOHC engine layout

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

2026-CRF250R-Higher-capacity-radiator
249cc of race-winning performance

Higher-capacity radiator

A six-percent larger radiator compared to the previous generation provides the cooling capacity needed to sustain the engine's high power output.

2026-CRF250R-High-volume-airbox-and-air-cleaner
249cc of race-winning 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.

2026-CRF250R-Gear-position-engine-mapping
249cc of race-winning 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.

HRC influence. Your advantage.

Responsive frame

Responsive frame

A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.

Tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

Tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

Compared to the previous generation, we revised the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for improved chassis rigidity and responsiveness to give the bike a better cornering feel.

Lower seat/narrower body

Lower seat/narrower body

We fine-tuned the seat height and bodywork width to make moving around on the bike easy and enhance overall rider comfort.

"Stacked" CRF logo

"Stacked" CRF logo

Like our factory racebikes, our CRF competition lineup features the vertically stacked CRF logos that look fast even sitting still.

Engine mode select button

Engine mode select button

Customize your engine's power delivery on the fly with the convenient left-side, handlebar-mounted blue button. It allows you to effortlessly switch between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive modes to suit varying track conditions or rider preference.

Showa® spring fork

Showa® spring fork

The 49mm Showa fork uses a conventional spring design with a 39mm piston and a 25mm rod to give the rider a supple feel while still having the holdup to resist bottoming under heavy loads like big jumps, bumps, or ruts.

Titanium fuel tank

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 the fuel’s mass.

Black rims

Black rims

The DID DirtStar rims are lightweight and strong, while the black color looks good and is easy to clean.

HRC launch control

HRC launch control

The ECU’s special launch control program lets you select the mode, hold the throttle open, and release the clutch. Your bike then takes control and regulates the power to the rear wheel based on available traction, turning it into a holeshot-seeking machine!

Superior frame rigidity

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.

There’s no better time than now
