2016 Honda CRF250R revealed
Honda has announced a series of upgrades for its CRF250R motocross bike.
The changes start with the four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 249 cc single-cylinder engine. Improvements include an extra intake duct for the airbox, a revised cylinder head, a reshaped con-rod, a lighter piston and recalibrated fuel injection.
As a result, power rises from 37.5 bhp (28.0 kW / 38.0 PS) to 39.4 bhp (29.4 kW / 39.9 PS). Peak torque meanwhile is up by 0.6 Nm (0.4 lb/ft) to 27.1 Nm (19.9 lb/ft).
Another component that has received attention is the Showa Separate Front Function with Triple Air Chamber fork, which was first used on the 2015 model. For 2016 it gains slightly longer top tubes plus modified internals to reduce friction.
At the rear, the Showa shock unit now features a stiffer spring rate and increased compression damping.
The CRF250R’s bodywork and aluminium twin-tube frame remain unaltered.
