MXA VIDEO: “ALMOST FACTORY” INSIDE JORDON SMITH’S FIRE POWER HONDA CRF250
MXA VIDEO: “ALMOST FACTORY” INSIDE JORDON SMITH’S FIRE POWER HONDA CRF250
Fire Power Honda is a new team under the WPS umbrella which owns Fly and multiple other brands. They have hired Jordon Smith as a rider, Justin Hopson as mechanic, and Martin Davalos as Team Manager/Test Rider. Now this is considered a “privateer effort” but once we looked under the hood of this Honda CRF250 we found out that it is very close to what Factory Honda is running. Electric water pump, titanium hardware, ultra stiff Hinson clutch, SKDA graphics, A-Kit Showa/Factory Connection suspension, custom linkage set up, Twisted Development engine, Neken handlebars, oversized spokes, spec tires, and much more trick parts tailor this bike specifically for Jordon Smith. He has a unique motorcycle and a lot of great people behind him in 2022 and we highlight that in this video.
Jordon Smith has ridden for multiple factory teams including Geico Honda, Red Bull Troy Lee Designs KTM and, most recently, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Now, the new privateer Fire Power Honda team is based out of the MTF training facility in Cairo, Georgia, the same place where Jordon grew up training at in his amateur days.
Jordon is currently 7th in the 250 East Coast point standings with one race left.
