Overview

Honda CRF 250L ABS

Now the Honda CRF250L comes available with ABS! All terrain conqueror. Derived from years of racing experience with the legendary CRF-R and CRF-X Motocross and Enduro bikes, the dual-purpose CRF250L blends true off-road capability with real world, street legal practicality. Get the right start It’s time to grow your motorcycling adventure. What makes the CRF250L so good in the dirt – Long travel suspension, low weight, narrow dimensions, nimble-steering chassis and crisp, responsive engine – also make it great around town, on rough roads and in busy traffic. Add Honda build quality, superb ergonomics, comprehensive digital dash and 7.7 litre fuel tank to the mix and the CRF250L is not just dual-purpose, it’s ready for anything. Multi-role partner One motorcycle, many possibilities. Lightweight aluminum rims reduce unsprung weight making the bike easy to turn. The directly attached spoke pattern layout is taken from the CRF250R/CRF450R and benefits from extreme rigidity. Block pattern enduro-style tires provide superb grip in a wide range of situations, but the rim sizes also make it possible to fit more off-road specific tires, turning the CRF250L into a more focused machine.

Purposeful lines The crisp styling takes cues from the legendary CRF competition range. The aggressive-looking graphics get you noticed with minimalistic MX design. The slim fuel tank holds 7.7L, and combined with the comfortable, flat seat offers maximum control and choice of riding position. The digital instrument cluster contains a fuel meter, with built-in clock and twin trip functions. Added to the excellent build quality and engineering standards expected from Honda, the CRF250L is ready to conquer all terrains. Honda’s 250cc class dual-sport motorcycle gets a number of important upgrades for the 2017 model year. This is a machine that’s more than ready to take on exciting off-road challenges without giving up street-riding accommodations. The compact and sophisticated liquid-cooled DOHC 249cc single-cylinder four-stroke powerplant produces smooth and consistent torque at low rpm to aid off-road work, yet the short-stroke engine also spins up excellent high-rpm performance for the street. All through the rev range, the CRF250L pumps out a well-balanced and very capable level of power, and changes for 2017 improve throttle response and increase power in the lower and midranges. Its off-road-oriented chassis, which includes a long-travel 43mm inverted fork and single-shock Pro-Link® rear suspension, makes it equally at home on city streets or country trails. And with styling cues carried over from Honda’s incredible 2017 CRF450R motocross bike, the CRF250L offers the full package, whether the day calls for low-cost transportation, a weekday commute or genuine dual-sport adventure. Bikes Built To Do It All. And To Have Fun Doing It We think motorcycles should be about getting out and enjoying the world around you. The sun, the smells, the wind, the weather. More reality and less virtual. And you know what’s even better? If you could find one bike that could do it all. Let you go exploring in the dirt. Zip along mountain roads. Commute to work every day. And even save you some money at the gas pump. Well, guess what—the CRF250L and new CRF250L Rally are going to be the perfect bikes for all those things. Strong, confidence-inspiring power Compact and sophisticated liquid-cooled DOHC 249 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine produces smooth and consistent torque at low rpm, plus excellent high-rpm performance. The engine’s wide spread of power makes the CRF250L easy and confidence-inspiring to ride, while also returning impressive fuel economy. Even better performance Enhancements to the engine’s intake and exhaust systems for 2017 boost horsepower by a estimated full 10 percent while also increasing torque at low rpm, all without changing the CRF250L’s easy-to-ride nature.

Improved PGM-FI The CRF250L’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions. A larger throttle body and a longer air-intake tube for 2017 contribute to the engine’s significant power increase. Smooth response The PGM-FI system incorporates an Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) to smooth responses to small changes in throttle position. Redesigned exhaust system By changing the exhaust system’s header pipe to a tapered design from a straight shape, and altering the internal structure of the muffler, engineers were able to increase overall power and torque while also reducing weight. Compact design Extremely compact roller rocker arm design for the low-friction valve train allows the use of a smaller cylinder head. Quieter operation The crankshaft runs in plain bearings for quieter operation and the big end of the connecting rod spins in a needle bearing, both contributing to the engine’s high-performance credentials. Less vibration A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization. Excellent stability & agility Chassis developed specifically for the CRF250L provides an ideal combination of on-road stability and off-road agility. Improved ride quality Inverted Showa fork features revised settings for 2017 for even better ride quality on the street and in the dirt. Excellent performance over rough terrain Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension has been tweaked for 2017, improving both rider comfort and traction while maintaining the ample travel that helps make the CRF250L capable on the trail. Outstanding stopping power Front and rear disc brakes ensure strong and consistent stopping power. Lightweight performance Front 21-inch and rear 18-inch wheels boast lightweight aluminum rims. Digital data at a glance Upgraded digital multi-function instrument panel includes a fuel-level gauge and clock. Secure storage Lockable tool box is tucked away behind the left-side number plate.
