Dirt Bike Magazine tests the all new 2022 Honda CRF250RX at Cahuilla Creek in Southern California. For 2022, this bona fide closed-course off-road weapon is all-new, with the same upgrades as the motocross-focused CRF250R. Those changes, which result in reduced weight, more low-end power and improved durability, are particularly well-suited to closed-course off-road series such as NGPC, GNCC and WORCS-the realms of top teams like SLR Honda, JCR Honda and Phoenix Racing Honda. Making the bike even better suited for those applications, the CRF250RX comes standard with model-specific features such as a resin 2.1-gallon fuel tank, dedicated suspension and ECU settings, an 18-inch rear wheel and plastic hand guards.

Imagine a 150rx so many kids even adults would be happy af.
yep a 150rx with the full size wheels would be kind of bad ass
Was just talking about this the other day. There is no full size/small displacement 4stroke dirt bike. My girl is on her crf125fb but she is an adult. I wish I could put her engine in a 125 2 stroke chassis.
@@hippiewithhobbies take a look at the crf250f, i believe it’s closer to full size and the 250f motor isn’t a huge step up from the 125. way more tame than the 250 race motors
@@Michael-lu2tz yeah, thats probably what bike she will be on next. Then from there I won't be too worried.
It would sell like pancakes especially in SEA since most people here are shorter
Would love to see a review of some bigger riders thoughts on it, 200+ pound tall riders maybe
Loving mine so far. Running full gas sprint enduro series with it. No complaints yet!
My only complaint about your guys vids for off-road bikes is lack of east coast type terrain. Obviously it’s difficult to go all the way over here just for a review. Would be cool to get some feedback on the closest thing u west coast guys have to us.
All they have to do is come to Oregon/Washington
Totally agree, I wonder how this bike does on some tight Appalachian gnar
The gearing works great for wide open trails. I had the 2019 450rx and it was the same issues. Twitchy steering that wanted to dive down and constant clutch pull in single track. Was a blast if the trails opened up and you could fly through everything.
You just need to learn how to feather the clutch.
@@Den.D425 yes, I know how and did. But there’s no use in having a 20” left forearm when there are so many other bikes that perform so much better fir 95%of riders who aren’t racing harescrambles every weekend.
No wide ratio gearbox..........again :(
Yeah weird agree ,but on hondas website says does have diff gear box ratio then the mx version.maybe the 2023 line they changed over the 2022.
I like the close ratio 😏
Very cool! I picked up the 2022 CRF450R-S to go with the TM Racing EN300ES 2 stroke, and I'm building it with Red Moto accessories with an XPR Pro Racing engine package - pretty much the same as Motoconcepts Honda engines, but tailored for GNCC, GP's, & H&H's. These Hondas are something else for fun factor...my last 4 stroke was a brand new 2016 Yamaha YZ250FX with GYTR parts and modded engine...I really enjoy the Honda & TM Tacing more than the Yamaha, my 2020 Husky TPI 2 stroke I sold, and that ole Suzuki RMZ-250 that still holds the keys to my heart. These are straight up FUN Racing machines...it is hard to beat the fun factor of the "big reds" and zippy "Carolina blues." 💪
Great looking bike but, I think the YZ250X is a better overall buy
I own this bike has alot of thump and smooth
What tire air pressure would you recommend for hare scramble racing
Looks like a good for a fast XC bike but this is not a true enduro/ hard enduro bike
I do like Honda though
Agreed. This is honda’s half-ass attempt to compete with other “real” enduro bikes.
@@LuckyNikitaBoba lool soo mean : ( this is my first dirt bike im getting . Am I making a mistake?
@@dregsta I’m sorry but all Honda did was add a side-stand and softened the suspension from a motocross bike. It’s not a proper trail bike if you truly ride slow technical trails. 1st and 2nd need to be very close ratio while 3-5 is identical to mx. Where’s 6th gear? Try this. In 1st gear, ride as slow as you can . The bike should not flame out if it’s a true trail bike.
@@LuckyNikitaBoba you're not going to be winning any slow races if you're not using the clutch, even on a 2t. I don't think Honda attempted to label this as an Enduro bike, pretty sure they are marketing it as a full blown off-road race bike.
@@LuckyNikitaBoba I ride mostly with guys on Huskys and KTM's, the handiest thing I carry on my half ass bike is a tow strap. Your "real Enduro" bikes love a tow, no joke.
Might purchase one for the channel.
It's a beautiful motocross bike with a big ugly tank. It's not really worthy of it's own model designation without an offroad gearbox. Personally I'd get the R for the better ergo's since the R tank costs more than the 18" wheel. (Good job on the video though).
I’m interested in this bike. I’m 225lbs. Am I too heavy for it? Interested in the nimbleness everyone speaks of. I’m Currently on 2017kx450. Yes I know I will loose hp but I am a vet (old dog) but still like to ride fast.
No one is ever too heavy! :) I was a heavyweight contender for kick boxing & MMA @ 245-305lbs and was riding my 2016 YZ250FX until the wheels fell off! All you gotta do is get the suspension revalved and purchase/install new springs etc. with a trusted suspension specialist nearby. This is an excellent choice for fun riding!!! I've now owned Suzuki, Husqvarna, TM Racing, Yamaha, and Honda...the 22 Honda CRF450R-S and 2019 TM Racing EN300ES 2t have been the BEST bikes I've ever owned...but don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed every brand, and the 2020 Husqvarna was really slick - just nothing can beat the feeling I get when riding these two machines...my TM engine is maxed out and has more horsies than my stock CRF450R (but that will change when XPR ENGINES builds it up here this summer). Both of these machines show top level race engineering, and make me feel like Ken Roczen, Stu Baylor, Destry Abbott and all the above! lol
Definitely get that machine! Got to test ride the 22' CRF250RX when I picked up the 2022 CRF450R-S (which is the torquey twin pipe platform from 2020)...it was a killer machine, but I wanted to go up in displacement because I've been on small displacement bikes for years before getting this 300cc 2 stroke and 450cc 4 stroke...that 250RX was only in the showroom for 3 days in North Seattle...now all of the Honda race bikes are sold out! I'm so glad I got mine in time! Don't wait on it. lol I think you'd be very surprised with the agility of this machine!!!
Nice bike,can you review the 450RX next?
The R and the RX have the exact same engine and performance… identical…. The only difference is a bigger fuel tank.. and a kickstand as well as a softer suspension…. But these 2 bikes have the exact same power…. The R isn’t faster… other than the fact it’s slightly lighter than the rx because of the fuel tank and kickstand…
Qual relação coroa de 53 dentes e pinhão 13 dentes ou 14 dentes ❓🇧🇷
Does this bike have a radiator fan ?
No
Anyone ride a ktm 250xc-f and a RX? Any big differences?
Yes RX seems a lot smoother and feels lighter. Xcf is good too. I feel most people will adjust
This bike is a pain in the rear end in the tight stuff, refuses to lug down without stalling, its too snappy and breaks traction, suspension is too stiff so it deflects off of everything. Rather buy something Euro or atleast a YZ250X.
The issue with these bikes are they aren’t that much different then the motocross bikes which not as reliable as actual woods bikes like the xr’s of old cost a fortune to rebuild
100% agreed, i bought a 2022 last year and it feels more like a motorcross bike then a trail bike, would’ve been great if they added a 6th gear.
New clutch but didn’t go hydraulic?
Black tank and no wide ratio…Honda engineers need to ride some other brands. 😕
Things are going the right direction though.
IMO there's nothing inherently superior to a hydro clutch. I've ridden bikes with both, although most of my seat time in the last few years has been with a cable clutch. I prefer the feel of a well maintained cable setup if I have the choice.
@@morley3810
Why?
My hydro clutch has very light pull and requires almost no maintenance, while cable clutch can get very dirty and muddy.
@@rogermty1971 I ride a YZ250X, and I find the maintenance on my cable clutch likely takes a total of less than an hour per year, so negligible. It's a 1 finger pull so that's not an issue. I just like the feel better. I can feel exactly what it's doing, where it's engaging, I can feel when it's getting overheated etc. Just my preference.
@@rogermty1971 With a cable clutch, the connection is more direct. With a hydro clutch, first you convert mechanical movement into hydraulic, then you convert hydraulic back into mechanical. Some feel is lost and also it becomes more on/off feel.
Is the 250RX a trail bike or a track / moto / competition bike?
Both I own one
it is there offroad competition bike so only a few differences between the mx bike and this one
@@clintonkojro299uestion, I’m a noob to the wide ratio vs close ratio trans debate. I wanna go slow and technical instead of going all out balls to the wall speed wise and I ride in Az so the terrain is like this video. Why do you like the close ratio trans in comparison to the wide? I like the kawi and the Honda but I keep hearing the close ratio trans is a hinderance.
