2026 CRF250RWE
Hydraulic clutch
Like the Team HRC race bikes, the CRF250RWE has a hydraulic clutch from the factory. This is a first for a stock Honda 250, eliminating the need to adjust the lever and providing a much lighter and more accurate feel.
Race-Tuned frame
A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the CRF250RWE chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.
Yoshimura exhaust
The CRF250RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. A full titanium system, including the muffler, it’s made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick; the exhaust tucks away for better ergonomics, too.
Speed meets style
DOHC engine layout
With a unique finger-follower rocker design, the DOHC engine maximizes power and raises the redline, resulting in superior 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.
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.
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.
Works Edition that just plain works
Exclusive Works Edition
Simply stated, the best of the best. The CRF250RWE is top-of-the-line and includes a host of factory racing upgrades such as a hydraulic clutch, specially ported red cylinder head, upgraded rims, titanium exhaust system, coated and revalved suspension, Dunlop MX33 tires, and more. Only a limited number will be available.
Yoshimura exhaust
The CRF250RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. It's a full titanium system (header, mid-pipe and muffler) and is made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick, the exhaust sounds amazing, too.
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
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
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
Like our factory racebikes, our CRF competition lineup features the vertically stacked CRF logos that look fast even sitting still.
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
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
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
The DID DirtStar rims are lightweight and strong, while the black color looks good and is easy to clean.
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!
