We’re merely days away from the official launch of the 2021 Honda CFR250L and CFR250 Rally and all of us are eager to know what the major updates for these two entry-level dual-purpose machines will be. We have some details to share to get your appetite going before its global debut.
For the 2021 Honda CFR250L, its looks might not be that different from the current model but the changes within are what sets it apart. Honda has claimed that this model will be further optimised for road use as well as some off-road fun, if you fancy having any. And those new LED headlights? Fire.
These updates include a more rigid chassis, a bigger fuel tank (the current model launched back in 2017 has a 7.8-litre capacity), and an updated Euro5-compliant 250cc single-cylinder DOHC engine. Power output is still in the dark, but we can probably guess that it won’t venture too far from the 25hp and 22Nm of torque.
As for the 2021 Honda CRF250 Rally, this beauty is said to get all the things mentioned above, plus a bigger front windscreen, updated long-travel suspension, new dual-channel ABS system, and more. We can also guess that its 250cc powerplant gets the Euro5 treatment thanks to new intakes, filters, and muffler.
More details will be released by Honda Japan soon. For now, we’ll just have to wait eagerly and patiently for its arrivals. As for the Malaysian market, we might just see them but the current Boon Siew Honda website only shows the Rally model, not the CRF250L. Stay tuned for more updates.
