2027 Honda CRF250R

Meet the Red 2027 Honda CRF250R, a purpose-built competition machine that’s happiest when the gate drops and the roost starts flying. Dressed in classic Red, this off-road racer looks fast standing still—and once you’re on the bars, it backs up the attitude with a tight, responsive feel that begs for another lap.

At its heart is a 249.4cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with DOHC and 4 valves, fed by fuel injection through a 44mm injector. With a 13.9:1 compression ratio and electric start, it’s ready to light up quickly and get straight to work, running on regular fuel while meeting CARB off-road emissions standards. Row through the 5-speed manual transmission and put power to the dirt via a chain final drive—simple, direct, and built for the rough-and-tumble world it lives in.

The chassis is equally serious. An aluminum frame keeps things precise, while the Showa® 49mm inverted fork delivers 12.2 inches of travel with adjustable pre-load and rebound damping so you can tune it for braking bumps, big landings, or slick hardpack. Out back, the Pro Link® setup uses a twin sided swing arm with an aluminum rear suspension component, 12.1 inches of travel, and adjustable spring pre-load and rebound damping—ready for everything from whoops to ruts.

Stopping power comes from disc brakes front and rear, with a 260mm front rotor clamped by a 2-piston caliper and a 240mm rear rotor with a 1-piston caliper. It rolls on aluminum wheels (tubed) wearing Pirelli® Scorpion MX32 tires—80/100-21 up front and 100/90-19 in the rear—for that confident bite when the track gets technical.

Details matter on a race bike, and this one shows it: guards for the brake rotor/caliper, engine case, forks, frame, and exhaust, plus a brake disc cover and side cover. With a 37.6-inch seat height, a grippy one-piece vinyl seat, and a kick stand for pit stops, the Red CRF250R is built to line up, rip hard, and do it again.
