When every corner matters and every gate drop counts, the CRF250R responds with factory-bred performance you can feel. It combines a torque-rich 249cc liquid-cooled single with a lightweight, agile chassis and championship-winning DNA built for serious motocross racers and committed riders alike. New for 2027, oversized horizontal Honda and CRF logos, blue side number plates, and a matching blue rear fender create a bold tri-color look rooted in Honda’s HRC racing identity.
The MX2 class is a relentless, close-quarter battle. And the CRF250R has proved itself a worthy weapon. Refined through competition, it’s a platform both amateur riders and pros can push to the limit, every lap. It delivers high-speed steering precision and agility, with precise control from its frame and Showa™ suspension, plus strong mid-range drive and power past peak from its engine. Updated graphics underline its racing intent. At its core, the CRF250R carries race-winning HRC DNA.
Features
Tripleclamps, Axle, and Steering Stem
We tuned the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for ideal chassis rigidity and responsiveness, giving the bike cornering feel for days.
Nine-Plate Clutch Assembly
An advanced nine-plate clutch design reduces slip at peak horsepower, improves torque transmission, and ensures greater longevity.
Rear Suspension
Pro-Link® rear suspension offers lots of travel and a lightweight spring for a plush and controlled ride.
High Redline
Our DOHC design and big-bore/short-stroke engine lead to an impressive rev limit, peak power, and peak torque.
Redesigned 49mm Showa™ USD Forks
Top and bottom yokes steering stem and axle work with redesigned outer tubes; internals have been made to deliver consistent 250-spec. damping reaction and feel from the very first movement.
260mm Front HRC-spec Front Brake Caliper
A design taken straight from our factory race bikes, the two-piston front brake caliper reduces play by 57% by resisting heat fade. The re-machined body is more rigid, for consistent feel.
Fuel Injection System
The 60-degree-angled fuel injector delivers a cooler, denser fuel charge, increasing power and torque. These meticulous details put this bike ahead of the competition.
3-Level HRC Launch Control
Take the advantage. Level 1 operates at 8,000rpm, and is suitable for muddy conditions. 8,500rpm Level 2 is the base setting for dry conditions. Level 3 launches at 9,500rpm for expert riders.
Big Bore/Short Stroke
With a 79.0mm bore and short 50.9mm stroke, our engineers designed a high-revving engine with ample space for large valves, the core elements of power in motocross.
New Styling
For 2027, the new livery features large horizontal Honda and CRF logos, plus blue side number plates and rear fender, creating a tri-color look that embodies the Honda HRC racing identity.
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.
Aluminium Twin-spar Frame
We’ve carefully tuned the frame’s rigidity balance to factory rider spec, to boost corner speed over rough, torn up track conditions and improve high-speed stability.
