2018 Honda CRF250RE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Honda CRF250RE utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 37.6 HP (27.4 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 26.5 Nm (19.5 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 151 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the CRF250RE measures 105.6 kg (233 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 951 mm (37.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,489 mm (58.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.3-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
