Finally got my first ride on the 2022 Honda CRF250RX. What a machine this is. I instantly felt comfortable on the bike since I've been riding the 450 version of this a little bit over the past couple of months.
Will this bike one of my all time favorites, or will I prefer the Yamaha and Kawasaki over this 250? Time will tell. One thing is for sure, Honda knows how to make a dirt bike.

I love my 250! As per your previous video, I bought my first dirt bike. A 2020 WR250F. I mostly ride fire/access roads, ATV trails, and single track. The 250 is a great platform for a new rider. Thanks for all the great content! Cheers from NS, Canada

@danielshown2045 2 года назад

Thanks for throwing in the snipit about the KX and YZ! I may just go buy for the YZ250FX this weekend.

@BradandDad_Adventures Год назад

Love your review videos. Only wish you spent some more time on reviewing this bike. Especially some more seat time on some good single track. I know it's not gonna be as good as a 2 stroke but wish you had it for a few months longer.

Yes! I've been waiting to hear about this bike!

Kyle, everyone is hoping you will do a crf250rx vs yz250fx comparison. Also curious about the current 250xc-f and whether it is better now than it used to be.

Interesting hearing your comments. Ariemann1 compared the WR250 and WR450 recently here in Aus and was only separated by a few seconds. If you guys haven’t seen him you’re missing out 👍

@benny-n-the-jets7052 2 года назад

Honestly smaller displacement bikes are lot more fun just because their easier to through around and just easier to ride. But I would not trade my 450. just love having the power whenever I need it. Specially for dune and open desert.

I am 14 and just getting back in to cross country racing and I got a 2015 rmz 250 I love every thing about the bike and love rmzs before 2018 before they re did them and would like to ask if you could review a rmz and share you're thoughts about the bike line

@human1513 2 года назад

So the motor / head & valves might last longer since for offroad, trail riding their is not much need to rev it out like a rider would be likely to do with Yami & Kawi 250? That sounds like a good thing wirh the power being in the maybe 1st 70% of the rpm range.

I want to see you test a 450x with exhaust and vortex ecu. Ya heavy but it is setup for your type of riding with a softer suspension for trails and the power for monster hills :D The RX is still just an R racing bike with different mapping and the same 5 gear trans. You get 6 gears on the X

@ivanmilensky9408 2 года назад

Hi,,,good review..Kyle and/or any viewers...need some comment or input...i am on the fence about getting one of these..heard some informal news that in RX 250's and rX 450's dirt is getting past the air filter due to poor fitting in the air box....not sure if this is true....i think there is an aftermarket adapter plate to help remedy,,,but would just like some rider and owner input if they have experienced this issue.....Thanks and keep up the good work and reviews!

@DirtBikeChannel 2 года назад

The Sparky isn't for making it quieter really... it's just about controlling sparks, and the one in one hundred million chance that you could make a fire with that :). If you need to make it quieter, FMF has some decent options, but they would be full mufflers.

@Den.D425 Год назад

you are absolutely correct. I just got this bike. It has amazing, low end (literally crawls really well without giving gas), mid range is good, and then top end power shoots the front end up (especially in aggressive map). Not sure what Kyle means here. Seems like he is a bit biased against the honda bikes imo.

@cutandrunfarms 2 года назад

Looking forward to your preference between this bike, the KX and the YZ.

@DirtBikeChannel 2 года назад

@joe0813 2 года назад

Hey Kyle, what bike would you say has the softer suspension? the YZ250fx or the CRF250rx

@MultiKtm300 2 года назад

I’ve had both and the RX is rigid and sensitive to setup which I never figured out. The FX is more stable and doesn’t deflect in stock form.

@lazyenword 2 года назад

@dustin9035 2 года назад

The mapping on Rx is different than the R, that's why the kawi seems like a top end screamer, because it's identical to the kx250 in the engine department. The Rx will seem more tame vs the R but the Dyno shows the same power just delivered differently.

@robertlambert7906 2 года назад

@rodjbosch 2 года назад

I've had a 530,tuned 350 and currently run a 250FX . The 350 without doubt my favorite 4t engine....I sorta regret selling it. Got a smoking deal on the 250FX after selling my Husky 300 and gotta say the 250FX as a package is impressive. Torquey engine that screams,great suspension and extremely reliable. It's great in single track and still able to hit the motocross track. Suspension best of any stock off roader I've ridden. Into my mid 50s now,still hang with younger guys doing nasty stuff I've realized power ain't everything. I'll never go back 5o a 2t....and only other 4t I'd b7y would be the 350...

@MultiKtm300 2 года назад

I sold my Honda 2022 250RX and replaced it with a 2022 250FX. I tried two different tuners and never could get rid of the front wheel deflection and overall stiffness of the 22 250RX.

@jackieonassis7438 2 года назад

@@MultiKtm300 are you happier with the FX now? how does the rx power compare to the fx?

@MultiKtm300 2 года назад

@@jackieonassis7438 Yes I’m happy with the FX but it is stiff in stock form but not in an unpredictable way like the RX was. There are a lot of tuners with experience for the FX and more info and data to work with. I was one of the first to have a 22 RX and no one had any info on tuning so I was the “Guinea pig” I guess. The 22RX could be great bike. It’s extremely lightweight, no engine braking and handles quickly, front brake is powerful and the engine was a great improvement over previous models but the suspension valving was terrible in my opinion and the exhaust system is prone to denting because they made is so lightweight.

@mattinthehat22 2 года назад

The weight of the Honda is prolly what’s makin it feel slower than the other brands. Or at least contributing.

@DirtBikeChannel 2 года назад

Anything is possible. It's not SLOW by any means. I'm just not sure it's got the "snap" of the other 250s I've owned the last couple of years. And for the record, I'm not even saying that's a bad thing. Some guys don't want them to be super snappy. They want smooth and controlled, so it's just something to point out. Maybe my opinion will change on it as well. This is really early on...

@speedtoad6167 2 года назад

Honda is one of the lightest 4 strokes

@ronald8673 2 года назад

@@DirtBikeChannel ...Honda tuned it to make a smoother powerband roll on compared to their mx bikes. From what reviews I have read, it is best suited for cross country, hare scrambles or desert . It still is a little lacking for lowend power for muddy enduros. They try to get around that by map selection.

@pedrorelvao4117 2 года назад

What about the 300 or the 400? Just think that the 300cc to the 400cc, bikes, are the best 4t, choices... 450 is just too much, and the 250 usually feels short...

@gary-ei8dd 2 года назад

Does the 250RX really require valve check/adjustment every 15 hrs?

@DirtBikeChannel 2 года назад

Manuals sometimes say the darnedest things. I take some of that stuff with a grain of salt. I don't know anyone that follows valve adjustments at those types of intervals.

@carlatamanczyk3891 2 года назад

I recommend adhering religiously to the recommended valve adjustments or it will cost you later. Especially if you plan on keeping the bike for some time.

@croomrider9785 2 года назад

Unless you’re racing at a pro level, or always on the rev limiter. You don’t have to check the valves that much. I can tell when mine need to be adjusted because it’ll get hard to start and won’t idle long.
