Honda CRF250X Review Off-road bikes have changed. Where once you could chose from a wide range of genuinely capable trail bikes from the four big Japanese manufacturers, now the sector has become a fierce battleground of incredible enduro machines, all of them made in Europe. Yet despite this, Honda’s trusty CRF250X continues to sell by the container full, it’s combination of old-school dependability and modern design still delivering the goods on every level. It’s yet another classic from the company that bought you the largest selling motorcycle ever made, the Honda Cub. OK so lets look at what we are dealing with. The Honda CRF250X runs a liquid cooled, 249cc, 78mm x 54mm bore and stroke, single four-stroke power plant.

2017 Crf250x Specs
Despite virtually every other manufacturer going for a twin-cam layout, the entire CR range is served by the Unicam four valve design. It’s taken until the 2018 factory MX bikes for Honda to let go of this design, and to be fair, you can see why. The SOHC option keeps down the weight, shortens the upper part of the engine hence keeps the centre of gravity low. The extremely narrow valve angles keep the combustion wonderfully efficient compared to the necessarily wide set valves on the equivalent DOHC layout. It’s a clear question of ‘if it’s not broke’ tech, but in terms of raw power, the quoted output is a modest 29.3 bhp, so not MXGP levels. As the company that pretty much developed aluminium perimeter frames with their ground breaking 1997 CR motocross bikes, Honda are rightly proud of the technology that has been a staple of Japanese dirt bikes ever since.
And while the CRF250X may not have the very latest version, the design is well up to the task. The ally wraps its way round the compact engine on it’s way down to the swing arm pivot, and a detachable aluminium subframe mounts at the back. As you’d expect, the tank sits between the rails, keeping the weight nice and low, although at only just over seven litres, the standard tank is actually not that large. The reserve position starts when there is 1.6 litres left. OK so lets sum up the rest of the CRFX. On the standard CRFX the brakes run 240mm rotors at both ends, both grabbed by Nissin calipers.
If you choose the road legal version in the UK, you get wavy discs and a bigger 260mm disc up front for better stopping power on the road. The wheels are the usual 21/18 combination, although the tyre choice will vary according to which model you choose – road legal or off-road only. The Chain is a T ring option, though quite why they couldn’t just reach for an O-ring option is a mystery! As regards to additional kit, this really depends on where you are buying. In the US, you get neither skid plate or hand-guards but you do get stock red plastics. Whereas in the UK the stock X comes with other add-ons, from a Yoshimura Exhaust, different graphics and plastics. In the UK there is also the option of the CRF250 RE – a halfway house option sold with basic equipment to allow owners to make it legal for the blacktop.

Then there’s the full RL – road legal- version which is made fully road legal thanks to a collection of aftermarket parts added to the stock X version to meet the regulations. It comes with a full lighting kit, indicators, modified side stand and full registration. In past years they also fitted a GMX aluminium tank, but now they seem to have relaxed a bit and admitted plastic is quite safe enough!
With the details all down and listed, it’s time to review how the Honda actually rides. As mentioned, we headed to Devon to do ride the 2016 model, although in fairness we’ve ridden previous incarnations of the CRF250X in South Wales on numerous occasions at the former home of the Dave Thorpe Centre. Honda may release a raft of new versions of their bikes each year, but in reality the 250 Enduro bike has been much the same for the last five or so years. Having hit a winning formula, they’ve kept the tweaks to the minimum. On a recent TRF riding trip to Mid Wales last month, all but eleven of the twelve riders took their bikes the 90 miles from Bristol to the start point in their vans.

We never really considering the option of riding there. But this is exactly what the guy with the CRF250XRL did, travelling over 100 miles on motorways, dual carriageways, trails and byways complete with tent, sleeping bag and everything for a weekend camping. And once relieved of the kit and caboodle, the little Honda was able to keep pace with the more focussed enduro bikes from dawn til dusk.
