2026 Honda CRF250R Red

Designed to dominate Honda’s CRF250R is a purpose-built racer straight from the front lines of pro motocross and supercross. With its torque-hungry engine, razor-sharp chassis, and championship-winning factory DNA, it’s made to thrive under pressure. Every jump, every corner, every gate drop—it’s why champions Ride Red.

Features May Include:

DOHC engine layout

• With a unique finger-follower rocker design, the DOHC engine maximizes power and raises the redline, resulting in superior performance.

Single-muffler exhaust

• A pressed-alloy design lets us shape the muffler for better rider ergonomics and lighter weight.

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.

High-performance cam profiles

• Drawing inspiration from our esteemed HRC factory team, we have meticulously crafted the cam profiles to enhance bottom-end torque and power without compromising the exhilarating peak performance.

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.

Downdraft intake and exhaust layout

• The DOHC cylinder-head design straightens intake and exhaust tracts for more efficient flow. It also boosts low-speed and midrange torque and throttle response.

Titanium intake and exhaust valves

• High-revving engines benefit from lightweight components, such as titanium valves with a 20.5-degree angle and ovalized valve springs with finger rockers that are treated with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for durability.

Bridged-box piston

• The bridged-box piston design is the final piece of the engine performance package. It features a reinforcing structure between the skirts and wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline.

High redline

• Our DOHC design and big-bore/short-stroke engine lead to an impressive rev limit, peak power, and peak torque.

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.

Throttle body

• The throttle body, with a 44mm venturi designed to increase airflow, provides improved power and responsiveness at low engine speeds.

Yoshimura exhaust

• The CRF250RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. It's a full titanium system (header, mid-pipe and muffler) and is made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick, the exhaust sounds amazing, too.

Exclusive Works Edition

• Simply stated, the best of the best. The CRF250RWE is top-of-the-line and includes a host of factory racing upgrades such as a hydraulic clutch, specially ported red cylinder head, upgraded rims, titanium exhaust system, coated and revalved suspension, Dunlop MX33 tires, and more. Only a limited number will be available.

Tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

• Compared to the previous generation, we revised the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for improved chassis rigidity and responsiveness to give the bike a better cornering feel.

Responsive frame

• A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.

Showa® spring fork

• The 49mm Showa fork uses a conventional spring design with a 39mm piston and a 25mm rod to give the rider a supple feel while still having the holdup to resist bottoming under heavy loads like big jumps, bumps, or ruts.

Rear suspension

• The bike features Pro-Link® rear suspension, offering 12.3 inches of travel and a lightweight spring for a plush and controlled ride.

260mm front brake

• The front brake disc measures 260mm, providing excellent feel and weight reduction. A front brake-disc guard is also included.

Low battery mounting

• Attention to detail is essential to keeping a bike’s center of gravity low. That’s why we located the battery as far down in the chassis as possible. It’s just another reason the bike handles so well.

Low rear shock mount

• With its rear shock mount low on the frame, the bike benefits from a lower center of gravity (CG) and greater handling stability.

Short swingarm

• The short swingarm helps make it light and also gives the bike better rear-wheel traction. It reduces unsprung mass, which is important considering how much power you have on tap.

Rear subframe

• The subframe uses extruded aluminum rear members to produce a lightweight design. Since that weight comes off the bike's top, it contributes to the low center of gravity.

Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires

• With the Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires front and rear, you'll experience optimal grip and feedback across various track surfaces and conditions.
