Engine & intake technology

Rider aids & control features

HRC launch control

Technology on a motocross bike should help you ride harder with less distraction. The CRF250R includes Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), plus gear-position engine mapping to tailor delivery as you work through the gears. Add HRC launch control and an engine mode select button, and you’ve got practical tools for starts and changing track sections.

HSTC
Helps manage rear-wheel traction when conditions get slick or choppy.
Gear-position mapping
Engine response can be tuned by gear for a more connected feel.
