The 2021 CRF250RX uses a liquid-cooled 249cc single. Fuel-injection and electric start make it easy to get the engine lit. (Adam Waheed/)

In typical dirt bike form, the CRF250RX uses an upright Renthal handlebar that can be moved forward or rearward depending on rider preference. (Adam Waheed/)

The CRF250RX uses Honda’s signature twin muffler setup. Big Red says it creates a more balanced motorcycle. We just think it looks (and sounds) cool. (Adam Waheed/)

The CRF250RX rolls on a conventional 21-inch spoked rim shod with Dunlop’s versatile Geomax AT81 rubber. (Adam Waheed/)

If you go beyond its 13-inches of ground clearance, a plastic skid plate provides some degree of engine protection against trail obstacles. (Adam Waheed/)

The CRF250RX employs a more forgiving 18-inch rear wheel versus the 19-inch found on a moto bike. This affords greater comfort on trail with an extra degree of tire sidewall cushion. (Adam Waheed/)

A sturdy set of footpegs provide good grip against the rider’s boots. (Adam Waheed/)

Folks looking for a versatile dirt bike that can do a little bit of everything off-road will appreciate Honda’s CRF250RX. (Adam Waheed/)
