Where the hell are these things already? Anxious to see the reviews. Considering replacing my ‘18 250SXF if the
reports are favorable.
reports are favorable.
The Shop
2019 CRF250R Changes:
New cam profile based on feedback from the Team HRC factory MX2 race team provides strong off-corner acceleration
New intake- and exhaust-port geometry improves low RPM engine power while also maintaining the CRF250R’s top-end performance
New 44mm throttle body improves low-RPM intake airflow compared to previous 46mm version, for improved corner-exit performance
All-new piston oil jet uses five nozzle holes instead of four, for improved piston-cooling efficiency and reduced knocking, enabling a precise ignition-timing setting for optimum power delivery
Right-side exhaust pipe shortened 50mm for excellent high-RPM power
All-new AC generator reduces weight and friction losses
Renthal Fatbar® reduces weight of the steering system, and flexes for optimal comfort
Top triple clamp features two handlebar-holder locations for moving the handlebar rearward and forward by 26mm, ensuring rider comfort. When holder is turned 180 degrees, the handlebar can be moved an additional 10mm from the base position, resulting in four total unique riding positions
New engine guard allows increased airflow, improving engine-cooling performance
Redesigned fork protectors offer improved coverage
Black rims deliver a strong presence on and off the track
New, lighter front-brake caliper now uses pistons of different diameters (30mm and 27mm) for strong braking performance
Updated front brake hose has reduced expansion for more precise braking
Newly shaped footpegs are 20% lighter and shed mud more easily, giving the rider great feel and confidence in all riding conditions
I understand most complete redesigns experience teething issues but an actual recall/sales halt is worrisome. I’m sure Honda will get it right and it likely wouldn’t sway me from purchasing a ’19 if the ride reports are positive but it’s still definitely a concern.
