Character and use of the 250cc enduro
The CRF250RX is based on the CRF250R and fitted with specific modifications for off-road use. The focus is on enduro terrain and competitions away from the motocross circuit.
The CRF250RX is a competition motorcycle intended for track and terrain; it has no road approval. It is used in enduro competitions and off-road wherever riding is permitted.
Enduro is about longer laps on changing surfaces, from roots and gravel to meadows. The larger tank extends riding time between two fuel stops, and the handguards offer protection in tight passages.
Differences from the CRF250R motocross bike
The RX rolls on 21-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels fitted with Dunlop AT81 tyres. The tank holds 8 litres instead of the 6.3 litres of the motocross version.
Handguards and an aluminium side stand are fitted as standard. At 104 kg, it weighs two kilograms more than the CRF250R.
Technology: based on the CRF250R with DOHC engine
The technical basis is the CRF250R motocross bike with its DOHC engine and 249 cc displacement. On the motocross model, Honda improved the intake airflow, straightened the exhaust path and redesigned the crankshaft so that the engine revs up more quickly.
The RX takes over this basis and is given its own focus on off-road use. The current model year is 2027.
Who is the CRF250RX for?
The CRF250RX suits enduro riders looking for a light competition motorcycle. Compared with a 450cc, the 250cc is easier to move around off-road, because less mass rotates in the engine. If your focus is on the motocross track, the CRF250R is a better fit. The differences from the motocross version lie in the wheels, tank and equipment.
