VOL. 56 ISSUE 19 MAY 14, 2019 P65
A
fter completely revamping
nearly its entire fleet of off-
road models last year (2019),
Honda has already announced its
2020 line of motocross, trail and dual
sport models and, as you might ex-
pect, changes are a few and far be-
tween. However, that doesn't mean
Honda took the whole year off. Last
year, the CRF250R was the one bike
that didn't get the full works treat-
ment, but that's changed for 2020.
The 2020 CRF250R motocross
platform, including the CRF250RX
off-roader, got special attention this
time. Both bikes feature an all-new
frame and swingarm, just like the
450s got last year. The 250s also
took on numerous engines changes.
All of the CR-Rs feature a lower-
mounted (by 28mm) battery box to
improve CG, and new brake-pad
material.
Also, the rear brake disc cover has
been removed on all R/RX models to
improve airflow and cooling.
The 2020 Honda CRF250R will be
available in July. MSRP is $7999. CN
