Love my brand new 250RX
Is it good for a beginner?
@@thegreat1548 probably not. Throttle is snappy it’s basically a race bike with an 18” tire, kickstand, and softer suspension. If you don’t know what you’re doing you’re gonna be miserable the slower you go because the throttle has instant response.
Loved your comment about “needing” the RX when the 250F would be fine. I was in the exact boat, I just “needed” the RX too! … when in actual the 250f would have done everything I typically do😂 BUT I too am loving the RX and have been enjoying trail riding and open riding with my 6,7,7, and 10 year old kids. They have the Honda 50cc and 110cc.
You'll be glad you went with the 250RX, because it's something you can grow into, skills wise. The trail bike would have been boring for you in a short while. Plus, these high-end bikes have vastly better aftermarket support and better resale down the road.
Agreed! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Wish I coulda seen this damn comment before I bought a crf250f
@@FoxRunAdventures we got alot of cool places like that to ride in mississippi
My favourite bike, a few people have told me they have problems when they’re at low speeds it bogs out easy but I haven’t had any problems at all with that. It pulls up hills amazing and you can feather the clutch in those tight areas nicely as well. Only thing I wasn’t used to was the suspension being a bit softer compared to a track bike but it’s easily adjustable to your weight and skill or just all around preference. Hella steez on the tracks too
Just placed my order for one! Great video, really liked it
Thanks! Great bike, you’ll love it 👍🏻
Gonna add my 2 sense into that. I’m a young rider 21 and I grew out of the 250f pretty quickly looking for more and finding limitations with the suspension. So now I’m picking up a 250rx. No one notes the 450x has 40 horsepower and the 250rx has 38 the 250 actually has a higher top speed. Not that it will ever used realistically I’m hoping this pick will keep up with my 450 friends
My 250rx smokes the 450x.
@@johnj8840 you obviously have no clue bud 😂👍🏼 see you on the trails
@@johnj8840 explain to me how a 250f with only what 18 or 22 horsepower a 19inch front tire with no suspension adjustably. 250rx full size dirt bike same chassis as a 450 and 4 horsepower shy from a 450. It’s on the rider at that point my rx is lighter in the corners too. Look into the bikes your clueless
@@johnj8840 right ignore the numbers just say I’m delusional. Your funny man
@@johnj8840 mate my whole crew rides red the video is about Honda. I’ve got grown men that’s rode them for 20 years tell me otherwise. I’m not gonna pick a different bike just cause the pros ride them. Much more to a rx than just a kickstand a bigger tank. I don’t just ride gncc trails either. I’m curious why your so passionate about proving some random guy on the Internet wrong.
4-5 extra inches of suspension travel
Front tire is 2 inches bigger
The rear tire is wider
The horsepower is almost doubled
Engine mapping.
Same 450 chassis
Like 15 or 20 pounds lighter than the 250f
The rx is liquid cooled.
What you smoking bruv… and send me these forums by the way I’d love to see them.
Have you seen the two bikes in person?
Looked easy to me. Bike handled it perfectly.
I think this is going to be my new bike. Perfect fit
I just bought one and absolutely love it!
Wow you must have money.
@@tee8599no financed it. No longer have it. Sold it.
I've got a couple buddies who have CRF250Fs and have had lots of opportunity to ride that bike many times. I've also been able to sample the KLX230R. Between those two, I preferred the Honda. I had a KLX300 dual sport and wanted to trade it for a real trail bike as I was not riding on the road, just single track. According to Cycle Trader, a local shop had a CRF250F. I took my KLX300 dual sport in to trade for the CRF250F. But when I got there, what they actually had available was a used 2021 CRF250RX with only 6 hours. They also had a WR250F but it was still in the crate. I opted for the CRF250RX since it was relatively unused, only 6 hours, I didn't want to wait for them to build the WR. It certainly was a bit of a transition going from the mild 300 dual sport to the ripping 250 competition bike. At first, I had my doubts and a bit of buyer's remorse, feeling that maybe I should have looked around more for a CRF250F. Four months later and there's no buyer's remorse at all. I had a chance to ride one of the CRF250Fs a few weeks ago, swapping with my buddy. That bike is still a great bike, I can't say anything bad about it, and I'm probably no faster on my RX. But it's not near as much bike as the CRF250RX. I'm probably good enough that I've already hit the ceiling on the CRF250F but have plenty of room to grow with the RX. Since I'm riding really tight single track almost exclusively, I've found map two to be the best for me. I mostly ride in 2nd and 3rd gear and then use the clutch to prevent stalling. I can ride for hours now and may stall once or twice. I was stalling all over the place at first. Just subscribed and looking forward to more CRF250RX content.
That’s good to hear, I’m hoping with more practice all the stalling will be a non issue. I can already tell it’s way better. Planning on having lots more 250rx content. Thanks for the comment and the subscribe 👍🏻
Stalling! Sounds like me on my CRF300L. That's why I'm looking at a 250rx or Yamaha FX. Problem is actually finding one before I sell the 300L.
12:37 trail like this you go fast 💨
I crashed my 2023 250r at Tall Pines, good call on being safe. I was only wearing a t shirt.
Ride Red 4 ever 🤘
Hell yeah brother can't fly without wings.
I was thinking of getting this bike for trail riding, of any sort, at moderate enjoyable laid-back speeds. But nothing hardcore enduro or such. Riding alone, just for the day. See the sights, not see what its capable of. Also would like to make connections on public roads, I know this can come registered for public road usage so thats good. Not many options if you want that from enduro-like bike. Its pretty much KTM or Honda. I like Honda for its reliability.
Also any worries about it stalling at low speeds, or it not having long enough final gear, is fine by me. I can change those. I'm just mostly concerned if its light enough, fun enough, easy enough, reliable enough. Seat, clutch, gears, all that is adjustable with parts and work.
I thought about getting one of those...But I got a KTM 250sxf off a buddy I work with. I went from a KLX 300r I enjoy the difference in the power... I would love to get a bigger bike to see what it would be like as soon as I have the money...
That KTM is a nice bike, congrats. I have my eye on a KTM 300xc-w as my next one ☝️ but that will be a ways off. I’m enjoying the power this CRF250RX has, but also I’m amazed it’s so light every time I get on it. Thanks for the comment!
great content! some really nice footage of sharing the riding experience with you're kiddos. Being a new bike and all the new design changes for 2023 have you had any reliability issues? How many hours do you have on it? Im an older vet rider who now wants a more ballsy bike underneath me that will still trail ride, seems like this might be the ticket thanks!
I have 17 hours on it right now. Solid as a rock so far 👍🏻
Wish they would make this a SIX speed and put headlight coil on it. Are you goin to put a FAN on it I see that REDMOTO has like fan kit.
that thing is sick
For sure!
I think of getting one, I am a leasure rider driving my current CRF 250L through woods and paths. I am ambitious and drive at maximum possible speed. I saw a matrix, though, that the RX is close to motocross and thus NOT engineered for softer/slower trail riding and not a leasure Enduro - what are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
Hey man, I’m doing the exact same thing, 230 to a 250rx
It’s quite a big step! Loving it so far 👍🏻
hmmm i was thinking about a 125 2 stroke but this bike seems fun
hope you have a good power washer for that pretty honda!
do you have to cover the clutch going
Yes, it’s the same. Stalls very easy at low speeds.
Good job on razor hill bro 👍🏼
Thanks!
I’ve ridden a 97 Suzuki dr 200 enduro not much time on it but I plan to ride trails and take it to parks I would like to get more technical as I get more confident like jumps and what not would the RX be a good bike I’m 6’3 205lb
Oh yeah, it’s a good bike to grow into and learn skills. Start slow and ease into it and you’ll be fine. Also with the height you have that’s a bonus 👍🏻. It’s a great trail bike at moderate speeds, but if you’re doing slow technical stuff there are better options.
Hey man just wondering where you’re riding at?? Park looks awesome
Mudslangers near Houston, MS
Bike won't stall as easy in the slower technical stuff if you keep it in mode 2
I might try mode 2 again in slower situations if I think about it 👍
7 hours in 1 month? I do that in a week. Would like a review after 40 hours
😂 I know, right? I only have about 20 hours on it now. I plan to ride a lot more in the coming months though 👍🏻
How about a flywheel weight?
HEY HOW DID YOU MOUNT YOUR HOUR METER ? I HAVE MINE ON MY FUEL TANK FRONT BOLT ??
Do you suggest crf 250rx/300rx for hard enduro riding? The narrow 5sp gear ratios seems to be an issue on low speed technical trail. Is it?
The motor does not like to lug at all. You have to use the clutch a lot to go slow. This bike does not like slow technical 0-5mph stuff. That’s stock, but I’m sure you could add fly wheel weights to help. It’s on my list to try 👍
For slow technical riding 2 strokes are superior, which is why you see the worlds best on 300 2 strokes. I had a wr250 and slow speed it would flame out and stall very easily. Now on a gasgas 250 2 stroke.
Can a beginner moto this bike? I race woods but only have a moto track to practice on. Thanks
Sure! It’s basically a CRF250R that’s set up for woods so it would be a great beginner moto bike.
Coming from riding a 2016 yz125, would this be a good upgrade if I'm looking for a more trail-oriented bike with similar power?
Yes, more trail friendly power than a 125 for sure.
4:20 ah yes, 230 rx
You spoke Honda CRF 230rx and it's 250rx
Yes, my mistake :)
what are the key differences with the rx, compared to a normal 250r?
Kickstand, hand guards, softer suspension, bigger gas tank, 18 inch rear wheel
If it was only a 2 stroke !
+ videos crf ❤
What gear where you in on rzr hill?
I don't remember, but I want to say 2nd...
is it a enduro? ı mean the suspansions are smooth?
More for fast paced trails, not for slow enduro. Very smooth suspension though.
So can I buy this instead of the regular KTM Enduro would you recommend it for normal hobby use
Might aswell get a 50cc 2t wtf.
Here is question I have same bike and question here is how is your chain doing it'd got lose or not?
I did have to tighten up the chain once after the first week since the chain was brand new, but it’s been fine since then.
@@FoxRunAdventures that what I probably have to do to I buy mine bike on July 22 and after couple ride in empty lands its got lose I feel like you change oil right away when you got or you wait for it little bit or how you often do oil change and how you going do your !?
How about a headlight and brake lite like the 450rx?
450rx does not have any lights, 450x does.
REDMOTO has a kit or like BAJA Designs
Where did you ride at ?
This is mudslangers in Houston, MS
Yurrr
I wish I could call you on the phone and ask 100000 questions, you wanna sell it 😂
the seat is like cardboard. For Honda it's simple
u tell people u really wanted to us your cam. and make opnocous noise. sounds like a compressor these things. Rx is just letters R. like n 2024. u wait n see them. oh Mississippi River.
Are you on crack?
You will miss the power n stance of the 450we /R
English?
battery dies all times. it's lithium all the way. n it dies. o don't drop it on a root. they go right threw the battery. these stubid one month reviews is always about the person driving. really he ain't going to say anything bad about his bike serious. Japanese people just sent us. 2 million of just 250r not an Rx. just say u bought it because. I just put a big bore. so 270. way faster 450.
😂😂😂😂
Not enough thump for a race bike. Nice expensive playful low power bike tho.
They have plenty of power.It's basically an r with a 18in rear wheel, kickstand and oversize tank
nothing to say. as usual. Japanese do it all.
Honda 150rx cmon honda tf.
Lot of effort just for 30 minutes on the bike scared to go throw the water 💦 and down razor hill
Stalled in a bit of mud this is not
This is not the sport for you 💩🧠☠️
cornball
WTH, i'll trade you a 2024 CRF250F, 20 hours. You dont belong on this bike, twist the throttle and head home.. Dont blame the bike for your lack of skills.
Why’d you say 230rx?
4:21 brother you called it a 230 😂 So how's it going, 1 year since making this video. I just got through the part where you were talking about getting a F instead of the RX to save money, and you won't be using it as it was intended etc... Me, I think that's nonsense! You must be grown into that bike by now brother...
I need to do an update video! I have definitely grown into it :)
