Honda reveals 2025 CRF dirtbike lineup
Just weeks after Jett Lawrence’s securing of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, American Honda announced its entire line of 2025 CRF Performance and CRF Trail dirt bikes.
The iconic CRF450R and CRF250R motocrossers have received extensive updates for 2025, based partly on development input from Team Honda HRC riders Jett and Hunter Lawrence. Revisions to these models’ chasses result in optimized rigidity for a comfortable ride while maintaining precise handling, and engine updates result in strong but controllable power.
These same updates are carried over to the closed-course off-road-focused CRF450RX and CRF250RX, as well as the premium-level CRF450RWE. New for 2025, Honda offers a 250 in the premium trim option—the CRF250RWE—based on Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas factory machines.
“At Honda, the R&D processes of our production machines and our factory race bikes are closely intertwined. Over the past year and a half, Team Honda HRC has dominated in AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross, and the progress in that realm has both benefited from and contributed to the development of our production CRF Performance motocrossers. For 2025, the CRF450R, CRF450RWE, CRF250R and all-new CRF250RWE are more capable than ever, and those advances also carry over to the CRF450RX and CRF250RX closed-course off-roaders. As we celebrate Jett Lawrence’s AMA Supercross crown, and on the eve of his AMA Pro Motocross title defense, we’re happy to unveil our 2025 dirt-bike lineup with our fans and customers. With the updates made to these models, and the important contributions of our race team, Honda’s off-road success promises to continue.”
Colin Miller, assistant manager of public relations at American Honda.
Other models included in the announcement are the CRF450X (the winningest model in Baja 1000 history), the CRF450RL dual-sport bike, and the CRF150R motocrosser. Also returning for 2025 is the entire CRF Trail family, including the CRF250F, CRF125F, CRF110F and CRF50F—a lineup that has welcomed legions of new riders to the world of dirt-bike riding.
