The 250 SX-F was once again the World Champion in MX2 for 2014 and added a prestigious 2015 AMA Supercross 250SX Championship to its amazing trophy cabinet. The 2014 season was a great success in racing at all levels around the globe and the remainder 2015 promises to be no different. Already known for its strong performance, the new generation 250 SX-F presents itself with a newly developed, stronger engine built into an all new chassis. The combination of a powerful engine in a lightweight and agile chassis is sure to make the 250 SX-F the star of the show for the future. The new 250 SX-F, the lightest and best performing bike in its class, is the right choice for both the amateur and professional rider; a winning bike that the competition will find hard to follow.

ENGINE

  • The new 250 SX-F engine design is more compact, lighter and provides higher performance throughout the entire range of power
  • New engine cases redesigned to centralize the rotating mass of the crankshaft and clutch while reducing overall length
  • Completely reworked Keihin Engine Management System with new 44mm throttle body featuring a lightweight direct-connect design
  • New electronic Launch Control for efficient starts and multiple engine maps to control the overall power delivery
  • New cylinder head combustion chamber geometry, optimized ports, new camshafts, new timing, new finger followers and new valve springs for improved power and reduced weight
  • New lightweight forged bridged box-type piston by CP, new shorter connecting rod mated to a new shorter, stiffer crankshaft contribute to a light engine feel and strong power delivery
  • New 5-speed transmission features wider gears with a new surface treatment on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears along with a special low-friction coating on the shift forks to provide precise and easy shifting
  • New "No Dirt" shift lever prevents dirt from fouling the lever joint to ensure proper shifting in any condition
  • New CSS (Coil Spring Steel) one-piece clutch that has been completely redesigned for improved oil supply for better cooling, durability and lighter weight
  • New super compact and lightweight 1.1lb Lithium-Ion starter battery
  • New WP flow optimized radiator design features a substantial improvement in engine cooling
  • New exhaust header and new lightweight silencer are both designed to increase power and contribute to mass centralization

CHASSIS
