2013 Honda CRF250R, ready to ride - On The Gas! Anyone who?s ever raced in the Lites class knows that your bike better be perfect if you expect to win. With a 450, all that power can help you erase a mistake, but on a 250 if you give an inch the rest of the pack is going to use you for traction. That?s why the new 2013 CRF250R doesn?t give an inch. We took the 2012 Lites East AND West SX champion and gave it an even sharper edge. Updates include a larger high speed compression adjuster on the shock for improved low-speed damping, along with a stiffer fork spring up front and more high-speed compression damping adjustability in the rear. New Dunlop MX51 tires improve drive feeling and save weight, and new disc covers channel some of the 450?s style into the 250 class. Of course we?ve kept the features that put the CRF250R on the top podium box all across the country: its twin-spar aluminum frame, Unicam engine with fuel injection (new ECU settings this year for better low- and mid-rpm performance), and the exclusive Honda Progressive Steering Damper. All-in-all, it?s the most dialed-in 250 we?ve ever produced, Which means it?s way more dialed than anything else on the track.
Everyone knows the Honda CRF®250R is one of the best handling bikes in the class. And for 2015 it just got a lot better, thanks to the addition of its new Showa Air Fork SFF suspension. We made plenty of other fine-tuning changes as well. One ride, and we know you'll agree it was worth the wait.Some of the changes you'll spot right away—the all-new Engine Mode Select button. It's an industry first for MX bikes, and it's going to make tuning your bike for changing track conditions a snap. Other changes include a larger front brake disc, a lighter throttle return spring and larger muffler exit-pipe diameter.One thing's for certain—the closer you look, and the more you ride, the more you're going to realize that the new CRF250R is the best 250 you've ever wheeled up to a start gate.
