Works Edition Features
You’ll spot special components on the new Works Edition CRF250RWE everywhere you look, including the metallic-red cylinder-head cover on the 249 cc DOHC engine. And there’s good stuff hidden from view, too, such as the hand-ported intake manifold that contributes to an increase in torque throughout the rev range. |
Downdraft Intake and Exhaust
The combination of 79 mm bore and short 50.9 mm stroke produces a high-revving engine with plenty of room for large titanium valves. The engine breathes and revs — the keys to making power. As well, the DOHC cylinder-head design let our engineers straighten out the intake and exhaust tracts to improve power and response. The intake is shorter and just about arrow straight, and the exhaust flows more efficiently too. You’ll experience more power and better throttle response. |
Plenty of Torque
More torque at low revs means better drive out of corners, so our engineers focused on the shape of the piston and connecting rod, while optimizing valve timing to help prioritize combustion consistency and thereby exhaust efficiency at lower revs. The bridged-box design of the piston uses a reinforcing structure between the skirt and the wrist-pin bosses that helps enable a high redline. Big torque down low, huge power up top. A winning formula. |
Hydraulic Clutch
Less lever effort and smoother, more-consistent engagement versus a conventional cable clutch — the hydraulic clutch fitted to the CRF250RWE is the same system used by the U.S. MX2 race team. |
Maximize Traction
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) works to minimize rear wheel spin (thus wasted forward drive) and maximize traction. It doesn’t use a wheel-speed sensor, and, importantly, maintains feel at the throttle while managing power — ignition timing and the PGM-FI system are adjusted when the rate of change of RPM goes over a set amount. With three settings plus off to choose from, you can have your bike dialed no matter how much traction there is. |
Better Breathing
The CRF250RWE uses the same redesigned, less-restrictive air-intake system as the CRF250R, which means better throttle control and more consistent power delivery. The RWE goes one step further by fitting a Twin Air filter with dual-layer foam. |
Yoshimura Exhaust
The Yoshimura R&D exhaust system not only looks trick, it’s also key to the RWE’s increase in torque from low rpm to over-rev. |
HRC Launch Control
HRC Launch Control: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. |
Engine Mode Select (EMS)
This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive, depending on track conditions. |
Special ECU Settings
Exclusive ECU settings for the DOHC engine combine with the other upgrades to deliver performance worthy of a Works Edition racer. |
