2027 Honda CRF250RX CRF250RXV

Meet the 2027 Honda CRF250RX—a new, competition-bred off-road machine that looks fast even when it’s standing still. Dressed in (with Red being the available color choice for the model), it has that unmistakable “gate-drop ready” attitude: lean, purposeful, and built to chase checkered flags from the first snap of the throttle to the last sprint to the finish.
At the heart of this CRF250RX is a 249.4cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with DOHC and 4 valves working together for crisp breathing and serious intent. The 13.9:1 compression ratio hints at its race-focused personality, while fuel injection (through a 44mm injector size) keeps delivery sharp and consistent when the trail gets rough and your right wrist gets brave. Hit the button and go—electric start means fewer distractions when the moment matters. It runs on regular gas and meets CARB off-road emissions, so it’s ready for real riding in the real world.
Power is sent through a 5-speed manual gearbox and out to the rear wheel via a chain drive—simple, direct, and perfectly at home in the dirt. The chassis backs it up with an aluminum frame, balancing strength with a responsive feel, while the stance is pure off-road confidence: 13 inches of ground clearance and a 58.2-inch wheelbase give you room to attack ruts, roots, and whoops without constantly tiptoeing.
Suspension is where the fun really starts. Up front, a 49mm Showa inverted fork delivers 12.2 inches of travel, with adjustability for pre-load and rebound damping so you can tune it for your pace and your terrain. Out back, the Pro Link setup offers 12.1 inches of travel with adjustable spring pre-load and rebound, anchored by an aluminum swing arm for a planted, driving feel.
Rolling stock comes ready for dirt duty: D.I.D. aluminum wheels with tubed Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires—90/90-21 front and 110/100-18 rear—paired with confident disc brakes (a 260mm front rotor with a 2-piston caliper and a 240mm rear with a 1-piston caliper). Add in guards where it counts—engine case, frame, fork, exhaust, and brake protection—and you’ve got a purpose-built machine that’s eager to be ridden hard.
With a one-piece vinyl seat, a tall 37.7-inch seat height, and a 242 lb wet weight, this CRF250RX is all about focus: one rider, one goal, and a whole lot of dirt between you and the horizon.
