Honda Canada Announces Significant Updates To 2025 Lineup Of Crf Dirt Bikes

• CRF450R, RWE, RX feature optimized chassis rigidity, smooth power delivery
• All-new CRF250RWE includes premium components, including a Showa shock absorber, Yoshimura exhaust system and Dunlop MX33 tires
• The CRF150R and CRF150RB return for 2025

After an incredibly successful 2023 Canadian National Motocross campaign that saw Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing team's Dylan Wright secure his fourth consecutive championship in the 450 division, and in high anticipation of the opportunity to repeat for the 2024 season, Honda Canada is excited to announce a series of upgrades to the 2025 CRF Performance dirt bikes that will significantly benefit their off-road customers.

Honda's legendary CRF450R and CRF250R motocrossers have received extensive updates for 2025, based in part on development input from Team Honda HRC riders Jett and Hunter Lawrence. Revisions to these models' chasses result in optimized rigidity for a comfortable ride while maintaining precise handling, and engine updates result in strong but controllable power. These same updates are carried over to the closed-course off-road-focused CRF450RX and CRF250RX, as well as the premium-level CRF450RWE. And new for 2025, Honda is offering a 250 in the premium trim option—the CRF250RWE, based on the factory machines of Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas.

"We are dedicated to building our production bikes and our factory race bikes with similar DNA so our off-road customers feel confident in the saddle," said Ryan Kelly, Assistant Vice President, Honda Canada Powersports. "Over the past few years, the Honda Canada Racing Team has seen numerous Canadian Motocross championships in the 250 and 450 divisions with our CRF models. This winning theme is replicated globally and the progress in that realm has both benefited from and contributed to the development of our production CRF Performance machines. As we celebrate our win from the 2023 Triple Crown Series, and on the eve of Dylan's 2024 Canadian Motocross title defense, we're thrilled to unveil our 2025 dirt-bike lineup with our loyal fans and customers. We are confident our off-road success will continue in no small part due to the innovation and improvements that have gone into these models."

CRF450R
Motocross continues to evolve with new techniques and riding styles that enable riders to push the sport to new heights. Matching that evolution, the 2025 CRF450R makes important strides in handling characteristics, power delivery and suspension performance that allow riders to perform at their best, even when the track is at its worst. Several years in the making, this new model integrates input from factory HRC riders like Jett and Hunter Lawrence and five-time MXGP world champion Tim Gajser, as well as professional test riders. Many of its features have been developed and used in competition, during Jett Lawrence's perfect 2023 Pro Motocross season, his 2023 450 SuperMotocross championship, and his 2024 450 Supercross title. But this bike isn't just for the pros; Honda's engineers also considered feedback from customers and leading motocross media to deliver the most comprehensive package of performance and rideability to date.
