2026 Honda CRF250RX: Suspension & Chassis Breakdown

A trail-focused look at the CRF250RX platform—Showa suspension, geometry, wheels/tires, and braking—so you can choose a setup that matches your terrain and pace.

2026 Honda CRF250RX off-road

Trail-ready handling, race-bred feel

The CRF250RX pairs a responsive chassis with off-road-focused details like an 18-inch rear wheel and Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires. Suspension is Showa front and rear, tuned for real-world trail impacts and high-speed chop.

Base price: $8,699
Showa fork

Front Suspension (Showa)

49mm inverted Showa fork with 12.2-inch travel. Built to track straight in rough sections while keeping front-end feel for corner entry and line changes.

CRF250RX swingarm

Rear Suspension (Pro-Link)

Pro-Link Showa single shock with 12.3-inch travel. The linkage helps manage big hits and keeps the rear planted when traction is limited.

Dunlop Geomax tires

Wheels & Tires

Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires: 90/90-21 front and 110/100-18 rear. The 18-inch rear wheel is a classic off-road choice for traction and sidewall compliance.

Chassis geometry & ride position (what it means on the trail)

  • Rake: 27.5°
  • Trail: 4.5 inches
  • Wheelbase: 58.2 inches
  • Seat height: 37.7 inches
  • Ground clearance: 13.0 inches

This combination is aimed at stability at speed while still allowing quick direction changes in tighter singletrack. Ground clearance helps when you’re picking lines through rocks, ruts, and trail debris.

Brakes & control on descents

When trails get steep or slick, predictable braking matters as much as power. The CRF250RX uses a single 260mm front disc and a single 240mm rear disc for consistent stopping and modulation.

Why the 18-inch rear matters

An 18-inch rear wheel is common for off-road riding, helping the tire conform to trail surfaces and improving traction feel when the terrain gets choppy.
