2014 Honda CRF 250R Single-Cylinder 249

• Honda® Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD)

Our HPSD has been purpose-built to help deliver precise steering at all points on the track, from acceleration to braking, whoops to hardpack. So you can hit your line from the opening gate through the final lap.

• New Front Suspension Settings

The CRF®250R’s updated Showa fork features new settings. Since this is a true dual-function design, it offers full compression and rebound-damping functions in each leg for balanced, proven performance.

• Works-Style Brakes

Honda®'s MX bikes have always had great brakes on the track, and the 2014 CRF®250R continues that tradition. Front and rear discs with factory-spec master cylinders help you out brake the other guy into the turns. The front and rear rotor covers are new too.

• New Fuel Tank

We increased fuel capacity this year, and that means you can ride longer motos before pulling in for gas.

• New High-Compression Piston

More compression means more power, and the CRF®250R’s compression moves up to 13.5:1. Along with a new cylinder head and head porting, the CRF®250R gives a stronger low-end hit you can feel, a big advantage in this class.

• PGM-FI

The CRF®250R's fuel injection makes a big difference with a bike in this class. New settings this year include dual-stage injector timing and a new injector angle for improved low and mid-range performance. This technology provides smooth and consistent power with an improved throttle response. And fine-tuning it to specific track conditions is easier than ever with our HRC® Fuel-Injection Setting Tool.

• 249cc Unicam® Engine

A new cylinder head, higher-compression piston, head porting and new dual-stage injector timing for the CRF®250R’s fuel injection are fine-tuned to work with the new dual exhaust to give you more low-end horsepower and more freerev up top.

• New Transmission

We made the gears in the CRF®250R’s new transmission wider to increase durability and better handle the bike’s increased power.

• New Aluminum Frame

A new twin-spar aluminum chassis features lower frame spars to help lower the CRF®250R’s center of gravity and improve center of mass. The result? A machine that’s both responsive and stable, and that’s easier than ever to rail around the next berm.

• New Swingarm and Rear Shock

Honda® didn’t stop with the new frame. A new swingarm, linkage and Showa rear shock helps the bike hook up better under all types of track conditions.

• New Subframe

We shaved weight from the CRF®250R’s subframe this year. How? In part due to the new twin-muffler setup. Moving the mufflers towards the bike’s center of mass moves their mounting points so the structure can be lighter and improves handling characteristics.
