VOLUME 58 ISSUE 31 AUGUST 3, 2021 P59 A longside the new Honda CRF250R comes the off- road version, the revamped CRF250RX, which also gets all the same treatment as the motocrosser for 2022. Like the R model, the RX also sees a significant reduction in weight. The new 250RX is six pounds lighter than the previous model. The RX is fitted with Dunlop Geo- max AT81 tires versus the motocross- er's new Pirelli rubber. Compared to the motocrosser, the off-road RX comes with hand guards, a smaller-diameter 18-inch rear wheel, a larger capacity fuel tank (2.1 gallons versus the R's 1.7 gallons, and the RX's tank is made from resin instead of titanium), suspension and ECU that are tuned specifically for off-road rac- ing and a removable kickstand. MSRP is $8499. Availability has not yet been announced. Click here for more detailed information on the 2022 Honda CRF250RX. CN The 2022 Honda CRF250RX off-roader gets all of the same changes as the '22 motocrosser. It also sees a significant drop in weight at six pounds.
