RIDE REVIEW I 2025 HONDA CRF250RX 24-HOUR REVIEW
eral times since then. As of this
writing, the 24-Hour bike we rode,
now in other people's hands,
is, according to our friends at
Honda, still going strong with 68
hours on its meter.
So, 24 hours of ride time on
a 250cc four-stroke dirt bike
isn't really that much after all,
even if you do it all at once. The
CRF250RX can take it. As for
our test riders, though, 24 hours
was more than enough, and they
needed to freshen-up more than
the Honda did.

the last lap as it did on the first.
We were impressed. Especially
considering that our bike had
already seen some good use
before the race.
After the 24-Hours at Glen
Helen, we sadly had to return
the bike that had served us so
well to its home at Honda, where
their technicians quickly got to
work refreshing it for other future
projects and rides. We wanted
to know what they did to freshen
up our bike, just like any owner
would after a 24-hour race, and
they told us, "Not much, really.
Just the basics." They replaced
the clutch plates, brake pads,
chain, and tires, and performed
an oil change and a valve adjust

ment. And it has been ridden sev-
Decal Works made our bike look
good, and Klim made our riders
look good, providing our team
with their XC Lite gearset. USWE
dialed us in for on-the-bike
hydration.
24-HOURS LATER
Our CRF250RX performed flaw-
lessly for 24 straight hours. Our
team logged
approximately 315
miles on the Honda that carried
us to a podium finish in our class,
and all we did was keep the air
filter clean, lubricate the chain
whenever we could, and make
several suspension adjustments
to accommodate the ever-chang
-
ing track conditions. Nothing
broke,
the lights did their job, and
the bike felt almost as fresh on
The aftermath.
After a good wash,
you could hardly
tell our CRF250RX
had gone through
the wringer.
