HONDA CRF250L Rally (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CRF250L was a dual-sports motorcycle part of the CRF series. It was manufactured for the global market in 2012 as a 2013 model year and was also known as the MD38 or MD44.

The bike combined a high-efficiency fuel-injected engine fitted with an electric starter, a comfortable seating position, headlights and taillights, mirrors, turn signals, and a compliant exhaust system.

In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF250L Rally, a modified base model with various changes that made it a unique proposition in the market.

The visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like a high-mounted front fender, a small windscreen, a single seat, an engine spoiler, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork with 221 mm of travel on the front and a Pro_link swingarm with a single shock absorber on the rear that provided 239 mm of travel.

The braking power was achieved by a 296 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel and a 220 mm brake disc mounted on the rear wheel. The front was clamped by a dual-piston caliper, while the rear was tied to a single-piston caliper.

In the performance department, the 2017 Honda CRF250L Rally had installed a 249cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 24 hp at 8,500 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
