2013 Honda CRF250R and CRF150R/CRF150RB-Expert

It looks like the bulk of the attention on Honda's new models for 2013 was focused on the CRF450R. Here are the photos, features and benefits lists, as well as the specs for the 2013 Honda CRF250R and CRF150R/CRF150RB-Expert.

2013 Honda CRF250R

Even with winning both Supercross Lites championships in 2012, Honda understands the never-ending need to push designs forward to stay competitive. To that end, the new CRF250R incorporates changes to its powerplant and suspension that help kick it up to the next level for 2013. Recalibrated fuel injection settings have given the CRF250R a bigger hit and more response in the low-end and midrange—this in an engine already noted for its broad powerband and amazing, right-now power response. Superb handling has long been the calling card of the CRF250R, and now new damping circuitry front and rear plus new fork springs with a stiffer rate deliver better bump absorption, improved tracking and more precise handling through those extra-rough sections of track. In addition, new-generation Dunlop Geomax MX51FA tires improve traction and feel, while the rear tire also shaves 0.9 pound of unsprung weight off the rear wheel assembly for more responsive action. Such improvements only serve to highlight the CRF250R’s well-documented championship-caliber credentials, and all this and more will help it retain its standing as the bike to beat on tracks all around the country in 2013.
