Lighter; stronger; and durable enough to dominate

Engine & Drivetrain
Heat can be the enemy of power and durability; so we’ve made a bunch of upgrades to the CRF250R’s DOHC engine to keep things cooler and improve performance. The oil path to the camshaft has been changed to increase flow and reduce heat; plus more-rigid camshaft holders and cylinder head improve camshaft accuracy while also reducing friction and; again; heat. New dual intake-valve springs and a re-aligned rocker-arm shaft improve valve-timing accuracy particularly at higher revs; as well as further assisting in heat reduction. It all adds up to a cooler; more durable; better performing engine.
More torque at low revs means better drive out of corners; so our engineers changed the shape of the piston and connecting rod and optimized valve timing to help improve combustion consistency and thereby exhaust efficiency at lower revs. The bridged-box design of the piston uses a reinforcing structure between the skirt and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline. Big torque down low; huge power up top. A winning formula.
Suspension & Handling
To match the improved engine performance; Honda engineers upgraded the frame to CRF450R-spec; resulting in improved stability while also saving 700 grams of weight. As well; a new rear subframe saves an additional 320 grams.
Mounted in a new triple clamp engineered to optimize rigidity; the 49 mm Showa fork has a slimmer shape but maintains its conventional spring design that helps increase front-suspension precision; handling; and feel. The 39 mm piston diameter and 25 mm rod diameter help to ensure a plush feel and supple action.
Additional
Convenient and lightweight; the electric starter is a huge advantage if you need to restart the engine in the heat of battle. Like the rest of the bike; the lithium-ion battery is both super light and high performing; weighing less than half that of a conventional lead-acid battery.
Another way the CRF250RX keeps its cool: a bigger radiator; with more fins that are angled for better airflow.
