Here’s a few things that stuck out to me on the 2022 CRF250R while riding it for @dirtbikemag over a few days. First off is the motor. This thing’s got power from bottom to top. It now has some bottom end (which it was lacking the last few years) while keeping a strong middle and top. It should make everyone happy, not just pros. Next is the gear box; they closed the large gap between second and third. It now only has one shift fork shifting between second and third also, making the gear changes much cleaner. Now for the clutch, they added another plate so that it now has 9 instead of 8. Also this bike has a cable clutch, which I’m a big fan of and so are a lot of pros. It gives you a much better feel for what the clutch is doing; whether it’s getting hot or needing to save it in certain situations. The motor now has a much better oiling system through the clutch, cams, and top end. It ran noticeably cooler. The bike comes with 3 maps that you can change on the bars. A mellow, intermediate, and aggressive map. It seems like most 4 strokes I ride have some mapping issues; they bog, foul plugs, or have a big dip in the power. This bike ran as clean as any bike I’ve ever ridden. Another crucial thing for me is the weight. It’s 8 pounds lighter and also a single exhaust. 8 pounds is a big deal, especially in a racing situation. With the single pipe and updated body, it makes it much easier to work on with less parts to take off and on. With the bike being more narrow, it helps the rider move around more freely on the bike. The suspension is super adjustable, I’m a big fan of Showa suspension and spring forks. Once you get the suspension set then it stays consistent throughout the day. I’m not a fan of the skinny 1.85 back rim and 90/100 rear tire. In my world I need to run a 2.15 and a 90/110 rear tire and this motor is plenty strong enough to pull it. For another perspective, my girlfriend @claire.parker916 also got to spend some time on the bike and wrote her opinion of it on her Instagram page. You can get in-depth details and more riders perspectives over on the @dirtbikemag website and future magazine. 🎥: @tfant612 #CRF250R #honda #motocross
