About the 2027 Honda CRF250R HRC Works EditionThe machine

The 2027 Honda CRF250R HRC Works Edition is the Works Edition of the CRF250R: a closed-course motocross race bike with a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 249 cc four-stroke single, a DOHC four-valve head and a five-speed gearbox. Over the standard CRF250R it adds a Yoshimura titanium exhaust, Dunlop MX33 tires with a wider 110/90-19 rear, a Twin Air air filter, hand-polished cylinder ports, dedicated ignition and injection mapping, a Showa fork with Kashima-coated outer tubes and titanium oxide-coated lower legs, and a hydraulic clutch that cuts lever pull by 16%. Like the standard bike, it has Honda Selectable Torque Control, HRC Launch Control, a handlebar map switch and a titanium fuel tank. For 2027 it is renamed from CRF250RWE to CRF250R HRC Works Edition and gets a red, white and blue livery, new fork oil, updated ECU mapping and a smaller airbox opening to cut noise.

Who should ride it

For experienced motocross riders and racers on sanctioned closed courses who want factory-team parts straight from the showroom. It is a competition-only bike: not street legal in the US, and not meant for trail riding or beginners.
