Honda PH launches off-road, enduro-focused CRF250RX

MANILA: Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) has launched the CRF250RX, which the company said is specifically made for enduro races, off-roading, and muddy and rocky trails. The CRF250RX is available at Honda Dealerships nationwide, and retails for P469,000.

The CRF250RX is powered by a 249cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder, DOHC engine, which carries the adventure motorcycle's slim bodywork and lightweight chassis. This engine is paired to an eight-liter fuel tank. 

For more off-road ability, the CRF250RX is underpinned by the Showa 49-millimeter upside down front fork, DID rim 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels , HRC Launch Control, and Engine Mode Select Button.

The CRF250RX's Showa fork has been calibrated for tough terrain, but with added riding comfort with its adjustable steel spring preload and rebound damping suspension. Meanwhile, its rear Pro-Link suspension has a faster response and bumps absorption.

Also helping with cornering is the tapered aluminum twin-spar frame, which features narrower main tubes. 

To enable smooth and fast acceleration, the CRF250RX's HRC Launch Control prevents excessive wheels spin, and engine failure due to over-revving and clutch and gearbox problems. 

The bike's Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB) responds to changes in engine character to suit different trail situations, aiding a rider’s ability to adapt to a wide range of riding conditions and scenarios.

Other features include Knuckle Guards, which protect the rider's hands from hitting branches during trail rides, the Side Stand that tucks into the bike's frame, and an engine guard to protect the engine for any damage that may be acquired during trail rides. 

The CRF250RX also comes in one color, Extreme Red.
