2026 Honda CRF250R

Built to compete at the highest level, the 2026 Honda CRF250R CRF250RT brings race-focused motocross performance to the starting gate. With a potent 249cc four-stroke engine, lightweight chassis, race-developed suspension, and Honda engineering, the CRF250R is designed for riders who demand serious performance every time they hit the track.
At the heart of the CRF250R is a high-revving 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine designed to deliver strong, responsive power across the rev range. Its Unicam four-valve cylinder head and carefully tuned intake and exhaust systems help provide the throttle response and broad power delivery needed to charge hard out of corners and carry speed down the track. A close-ratio five-speed transmission puts that power to the ground while giving racers the gearing they need for a wide variety of motocross conditions.
The CRF250R's lightweight aluminum twin-spar frame is designed around precise handling and rider feedback. Combined with Honda's race-developed suspension package, the chassis helps riders maintain confidence through corners, attack rough sections, and stay composed when the track gets demanding. Up front, a Showa 49mm inverted fork provides substantial suspension travel and adjustability, while the rear Pro-Link Showa shock works with the chassis to help keep the rear wheel planted.
Braking performance is equally important on a motocross machine, and the CRF250R features powerful disc brakes engineered for strong, predictable stopping performance. Lightweight wheels and a carefully developed chassis contribute to the bike's responsive handling, helping riders transition quickly from braking zones to corners and back onto the throttle.
Honda also puts significant attention into rider ergonomics. The CRF250R's slim bodywork and rider-focused layout make it easier to move around the motorcycle while standing, cornering, jumping, and attacking technical sections of the track. Selectable engine modes and launch-control technology give riders additional tools for adapting the motorcycle's performance to different track conditions and riding styles.
From the starting gate to the checkered flag, the 2026 Honda CRF250R is built around competitive four-stroke motocross performance. It's an excellent choice for experienced racers and serious riders looking for a lightweight 250-class machine with the performance, technology, and engineering expected from Honda.
For added peace of mind, the 2026 Honda CRF250R comes with a 6-month factory warranty, giving you additional coverage as you put this race-ready Honda through its paces.
