Inspired by the factory CRF450 Rally machine raced in the Dakar by Team HRC, and based on the standard CRF250L, the CRF250L Rally is ready for weekend adventure, long-distance tour or the daily commute. Featuring styling that evokes images of adventure and travel, the bike has long-travel suspension, large-disk ABS brakes, excellent weather protection and an impressive cruising range. Engine performance combines solid bottom-end torque with substantial top-end power. Meanwhile, the standard CRF250L also features important upgrades for 2017, including a number of powertrain changes that are aimed at increasing power and improving throttle response.

Engine/Drivetrain

• Compact and sophisticated liquid-cooled DOHC 249cc single-cylinder four-stroke powerplant produces smooth and consistent torque at low rpm, plus excellent high-rpm performance.
• A 38mm throttle body (up 2mm from the 2016 CRF250L) combines with a revised airbox, reshaped air boot, new muffler design and a larger-diameter exhaust head pipe to provide improved response and better power in the low and midranges.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
• Extremely compact roller rocker arm design for the low-friction valve train allows the use of a smaller cylinder head.
• Gear-driven counterbalancer shaft helps reduce vibrations for rider comfort.
• Electric start for easy starting.
• Lightweight aluminum crankcase.
• Maintenance-free CD ignition.
• Heavy-duty clutch offers smooth, progressive engagement.
• Smooth-shifting, versatile six-speed transmission.
• Heavy-duty O-ring–sealed chain for durability and reduced maintenance.
• Quiet, USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler.
• Maintenance-free sealed battery.

Chassis/Suspension

• Rally-type "floating" screen, fairing and radiator shrouds provide wind protection, with the rest of the machine showing off minimal MX style.
• LED asymmetric headlights, as are the turn signals.
• Large fuel tank allows extensive range.
• Chassis developed specifically for the CRF250L provides excellent handling and agility.

• Powerful wave-design 256mm front disc brake, and 220mm rear disc brake provide strong and consistent stopping power.
• Meter assembly, taillight and license-plate holder have all been updated for 2017.
• Large floating front disc—plus ABS that can be switched off for the rear brake—delivers stopping power.
• Front 21-inch wheel and 18-inch rear wheel with lightweight aluminum rims.
