MXA VIDEO: WE TEST THE 2026 HONDA CRF250

This 2026 Honda CRF250 is here, and after receiving a host of updates last year, this bike is unchanged for the new model season. The 2025 Honda CRF250 gained an updated frame with the same geometry as the 2022-2024 frame, but 70 percent new components to update the handling characteristics. It also had a new subframe mounting position; the front axle, fork, shock, and linkage were updated on the chassis side of things. On the engine side, the crank was made stiffer, the airbox was opened up, the exhaust was made straighter, and the mapping was updated to work with it all.

In this video, Josh Mosiman and Josh Holley share their different perspectives on the CRF250, plus they share how the Luxon and Pro Circuit parts added helped the bike work better.
