CRF250R > Dirtbikes from Honda Canada

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 bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

Electric Start

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

Gear-Position Engine Mapping

Talk about smart: This model features an ECU with special engine mapping for each gear. You can’t give an inch in this class, so having your engine deliver optimal power for each gear choice is one of the features that separates Honda riders from the rest.

Engine Mode Select (EMS)

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.

DOHC Engine Layout

The double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine layout has a unique finger-follower rocker design. Together with the rest of the engine’s architecture (bore and stroke, intake tract, piston, and more), you get more power and a higher redline.

Titanium Intake and Exhaust Valves

Light is right when it comes to a high-revving engine’s reciprocating masses. That’s why it uses titanium intake and exhaust valves. Plus, the valve angle is a super-narrow 20.5 degrees (included). Ovalized valve springs and long-wearing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) treated finger rockers complete the package.

Downdraft Intake and Exhaust Layout

The DOHC cylinder-head design lets our engineers straighten out the bike's intake and exhaust tracts that have been optimized to improve power and response. The intake is shorter and just about arrow straight, and the exhaust flows more efficiently too. No athlete’s going to win a sprint if they try to run while holding their breath, and it’s no different with your bike’s engine. You’ll experience both, more power and better throttle response.

Big Bore/Short Stroke

The 79 mm bore and short 50.9 mm 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.

Dual-Exhaust System

The dual-exhaust system is light, compact, and positioned close and low in the frame to take weight off the rear end and bring more mass to the bike’s center for improved handling. It also allows for more airflow, and that equals added power.

Total Air Management

Total air management means complete attention to how efficiently air gets through the intake, through the head, and out the exhaust. Eliminate losses here, and you make more power everywhere. And the best part? It’s free horse power—you just need a bike with smart design.

Bridged-Box Piston

Coordinated to work with the new cam profile and combustion-chamber shape, it’s the final piece to the engines performance package. The bridged-box design features a reinforcing structure between the skirts and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable the high redline.

“H” Section Crank

Look closely at the crankshaft profile and you’ll see its “H” cross-section design. What’s up with that? Just like a structural “I” beam in an aircraft wing or a skyscraper, it boosts strength and cuts weight over a conventional crank’s shape—a big deal when you consider this part spins at over 14,000 rpm!

Gradual Pipe-Bend Radius

Notice how the dual exhaust pipes make gradual, large-radius bends out of the head, then flow straight back to the mufflers with no abrupt angle changes. Getting the exhaust out of the engine—while still maintaining a tuned exhaust length, is the key to power, while the pipes’ low mass and twin-silencer design optimize the center of mass for superior handling.

Clutch Design and Materials

The clutch uses two different types of friction material. Why? The clutch can handle the increased power of the engine without being any larger. The lighter rotating weight is directly related to how fast the engine revs.

Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Battery

Like the rest of the bike, the Lithium-Ion battery is both super light and high performing, weighing in at less than half the weight of a conventional lead-acid battery.

Titanium Fuel Tank

Every gram counts on a bike in the 250 class, which is why the CRF250R 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 fuel mass.

Engine Oil Scavenge Pump

Deep in the engine, there’s a special oil scavenge pump. While you may never see it, it helps keep the overall design compact.

Shared Engine/Gearbox Lubrication

The bike uses a shared engine/transmission oiling design. Why? Combining the two systems shaves weight and helps make the engine more compact, especially when it comes to placing the right-side cam drive and the clutch so close together.
