Which Xtrig colour looks best for crf the bright red ones or dark red (Bronze) I know it's a silly question but hard to tell without seeing them in person or on the bike, like which set would match other anodised red stuff best, red talon hubs, etc etc

Both are trick af. I wish they made the silver and black versions for Hondas as well because then you could match them to your any color of hub.

This is what i would do:
1) Do you have red hubs? Go red.
2) Do you have mag hubs? Go bronze.
3) Do you have black hubs? Go either.
4) Do you have stock hubs? Go either.
5) Do you have other color hubs? Go get new hubs asap cause that's whack.

Red looks great until if fades and starts turning pinkish. With that said, I’d go with Bronze

I'd go with the bronze. I might be a bit biased since i have them on my YZF but the bronze color is what i associate with Xtrig!

I don't think I'll have a problem with them fading, I'm in the UK so not sun all the time lol, also there for a cr250 2007 that I've owned for 12 years that I want to put ohlins forks on, had red parts on it for years that haven't faded, my problem is the bronze looks a little to dark red and the red looks a little to bright, I have lots of red stuff that they need to match really, hubs, reservoir covers, gear lever tip, brake clevis and tip, axle blocks with caliper support bracket, tank cap. I like the dark ones but think they would look odd and wouldn't match properly

Annoying because sometimes the (bronze) onea don't look that dark in some pics and then darker in others so confused which would be the best for my bike

In my experience the red ano holds up fine as long as you avoid Simple Green.

Bronze more of a factory look.

And long exposure to sunlight or florescent lighting.

IMO, this stuff works as good or better than Simple Green, isn't harsh on metals and doesn't break the bank!

Isn't there more to it? Red is non adjustable offset and the bronze is the pro version with 2 offsets.

Colour doesn't make any difference you can buy all colours in either standard rocs without adjustable offset or rocs pro with adjustable offset, don't think I would ever use the adjustable offset but makes it easier to change lower bearing when you can remove the stem easily, I like the bronze but I've decided to go with red on my CR, think it will look better with the hubs and stuff, just need to find a good deal on some ohlins or A kit forks now so I can actually use the clamps lol, A kit stuff doesn't come up for sale as much in the UK, finding a shock to with what forks I get is going to be hassle for a cr250, I should probably just leave it as it is with standard forks and black RG3 clamps, but red xtrigs and a set of ohlins rxf48 is going to have to be done

Red on Red for sure! Those details really make the looks of a bike IMO. Post pics when you do.

Anyone running Xtrig on a '20/'21 CRF250R? Curious to your feedback on this bike specifically. Thinking of buying but want to understand the feedback first.

I had red on a CRF450 and I thought they looked great and the color held up just fine. Red would be my choice, FWIW.
