2014 Honda CRF 250R, 2014 Honda® CRF®250R The New CRF®250R. The Best Just Got Better. The best-handling bike in the 250 class just got a whole lot better. That s because Honda® s CRF®250R is all new for 2014, with a major emphasis on doing what a 250 does best: offer precise, nimble, tack-sharp handling. So what did we do? First, we gave it our new, low-CG aluminum frame. Next, theres an updated fork, a new swingarm, a new shock and new linkage ratio. Finally, we added our patented dual-muffler exhaust - all of these come together to make the new CRF®250R handle better than ever. We didnt stop there. Engine changes include a new, high-compression piston, new cylinder head and porting, a lighter radiator and new dual-stage fuel injection timing that offers crisp low to mid range power. Add it all up and you can see that the bike that Wil Hahn rode to win the 2013 250SX East title is even better for 2014! Innovations 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 CRF250R 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 Hondas MX bikes have always had great brakes on the track, and the 2014 CRF250R 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 CRF250R s compression moves up to 13.5:1. Along with a new cylinder head and head porting, the CRF250R gives a stronger low-end hit you can feel, a big advantage in this class. PGM-FI The CRF250Rs 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 CRF250R s fuel injection are fine-tuned to work with the new dual exhaust to give you more low-end horsepower and
