New 2021 Honda CRF250R Competition Motorcycle

Heroic podium speeches start with heroic holeshots—if you’re not on it from the second the gate drops, the other guys are gonna eat your lunch. That’s why you need to be on a Honda CRF250R. Because it’ll be you who’s doing the feeding—feeding the rest of the field your roost. High-revving DOHC engine. Fine-tuned twin-spar aluminum chassis. The kind of fit, finish, and refined detail you see on factory bikes. The list of features goes on and on. It’s a complete package that’s ready to win, right off the showroom floor. All it takes is the right rider—and that’s where you come in.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

• HRC LAUNCH CONTROL

We’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the CRF250R will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

• BIG BORE/SHORT STROKE

The CRF250R’s 79.0mm bore and short 50.9mm stroke let our engineers create a high-revving engine with plenty of room for large valves. The engine breathes and revs—the two keys to making power in the motocross world.

CONVENIENCE

• ELECTRIC START

The CRF250R is equipped with an effortless electric starter. Convenient and lightweight, it’s a huge deal if you need to restart a stalled bike in the heat of battle.

PERFORMANCE

• DOUBLE-SPRAY INJECTOR SETTINGS

The CRF250R’s fuel-injection system sprays twice per intake cycle. That helps increase fuel atomization without adding the weight or complexity of a second injector. The better fuel atomization means more power in the midrange and on over rev—you’ll feel it the first time you race.

• BRIDGED-BOX PISTON

The CRF250R’s bridged-box piston is the final piece to the CRF250R’s engine performance package. The design features a reinforcing structure between the skirts and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable the CRF250R’s high redline.
