Effortless directional changes on the fly

 

Unique 4-valve Unicam cylinder head has very compact dimensions, allowing it to be ideally placed for excellent mass centralization. This helps make it even easier for a rider to change direction, on the ground or in the air.

Programmed for power

 

The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system has new mapping to take full advantage of the upgraded engine components.

Even more power

 

Increased cam lift, new titanium exhaust valves, new valve springs, and updates to cylinder-head porting, piston shape and connecting-rod shape, add up to an engine that’s more powerful than ever.

Engine Mode Select button

 

The CRF250R’s Engine Mode Select (EMS) system lets you modify fuel-injection and ignition mapping with the simple push of a handlebar-mounted button – perfect for dialing in the best power curve for better starts, better drive out of corners, better traction, or simply to better suit your riding style. Modes two and three can even be fine-tuned using the optional HRC setting tool. Mode selection is easily accomplished without changing the rider's hand position or shutting down the engine (as long as the engine is idling).

Improved air and exhaust flow

 

The air-intake tube has been revised and the mufflers feature larger outlet diameters for improved breathing and flow, which has increased top-end power.

Keeping cool

 

Larger radiators for 2016 handle the output from the more powerful engine, and further enhance the CRF250R’s renowned reliability.

Excellent feel & feedback

 

Twin-spar aluminum chassis offers the benefit of a low centre of gravity with excellent feel and feedback. Designed to work in concert with the Showa air fork and the Honda Progressive Steering Damper, the chassis combines excellent stability with right-now turning precision.

Precise handling

 

The Honda Progressive Steering Damper allows more-aggressive chassis geometry for quicker steering, while also assisting straight-line handling. Damping action smoothly progresses as handlebar deflection increases, which produces very natural steering characteristics and feel.

Improved Air Fork

 

The inverted Showa air fork designed specifically for the CRF250R includes a number of clever innovations. By separating air-spring and damping functions between left and right fork legs respectively, overall weight balance from left to right is improved when the weight of the brake is included. The left fork with its air spring not only offers reduced weight, but its three-chambered design allows separate adjustment of ride height and "spring" rate. Together these innovations result in reduced weight, improved balance, superior suspension action and simplified adjustability. The fork is also 5 mm longer for 2016 to enhance stability

Full adjustment

 

Pro-link rear Showa suspension offers full damping adjustability and over 12 inches of smooth, well-controlled travel.

Stop hard

 

A full 260 mm in diameter, the wave-style front brake rotor offers excellent stopping power plus superior lever feel.

Better grip

 

Dunlop MX52 tires offer excellent traction in a wide variety of conditions.

Move freely

 

Optimized rider ergonomics with a very narrow midsection allow you to move freely on the bike and fully utilize the CRF’s incredible agility.

Easy to adjust

 

Quick-adjust clutch perch simplifies cable adjustment.

Reduced rider fatigue

 

Aluminum handlebar is rubber-mounted to reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort.

Comfort paired with control

 

Wide, long footpegs offer greater support for more comfort and control.

Preventative indicator

 

The engine stop switch with integrated LED indicator lets you know if the PGM-FI system is working properly.

Simplified maintenance

 

The design of the fuel hose connector simplifies maintenance.

Connectivity simplifies setup

 

Optional HRC setting kit includes an easy-to-use programming system with precise data for setting up the machine to meet all race situations. Ignition timing and fuel mapping settings can be uploaded by connecting the motorcycle to a computer and following simple step-by-step instructions. The system radically simplifies the setup process and makes tuning accessible to a wide spectrum of riders. Connection is simple with only one connector and no need to remove the fuel tank.
