The CRF250 Rally comes finished in Honda’s Extreme Red competition colour – just like the desert racing 450 – as a base, with black and white accents inspired by the HRC factory machines.
From the bike’s mid-section to the back, the style is sharp and aggressive – pure MX – with super-slim side panels and a seat and tank combination that helps the rider move freely on the machine.
The 10.1 litre fuel tank, with a 1.6L reserve, delivers a range of over 320km; perfect for a long weekend tour and good measure for a bit of off-road too. The flat filler cap is hinged for easy-fill convenience.
A 43mm Showa inverted fork, with 250mm stroke, is 50mm longer than the CRF250L. Working as one unit – one side contains the spring while the other provides damping control – the spring rate and damping have been tuned to suit the bike’s long-distance capability.
Pro-Link rear suspension features a ratio revised for rider comfort. The Showa shock absorber is a single tube design with 40mm diameter cylinder.
Developed from the parts used by the CRF450 RALLY, the ‘floating’ screen – along with the upper and lower fairing and side shrouds – effectively shield the rider and offer excellent protection from the elements.
The look of a true desert fighter, the LED asymmetric headlights provide excellent visibility on and off road. Others won’t miss you’re your turn either, as the indicators are also LED.
Hand guards offer further protection from the weather, but also protect your hands, brake and clutch levers from any obstacles that you may encounter when venturing off road.
Easy-to-see information is laid out and displayed clearly on the digital dash, which features a speedometer, tachometer plus fuel gauge and clock.
For extra braking power a 296mm floating, wave-style, disc is gripped by a two-piston caliper. Two-channel ABS is fitted as standard and gives the rider the option to switch off the rear caliper for independent control when you need it.
