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.

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 and delivering optimal power with every shift.

Goodbye competition

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!

Nine-plate clutch assembly

An advanced nine-plate clutch design reduces slip at peak horsepower, improves torque transmission, and ensures greater longevity.

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.
