Honda CRF Enduro 2021: the new CRF250RX, CRF300RX, CRF400RX and CRF450RX models [PHOTO]

Reported by RedMoto the 2021 specimens of Honda CRF250RX Enduro, CRF300RX Enduro, CRF400RX Enduro e CRF450RX Enduro.

250 Honda CRF2021RX Enduro

The model is based on the consistent base of the cross model, differing in some elements linked to the enduro panorama. It features a lightweight, functional frame and swingarm for a balance of rigidity combined with compression damping settings for the Showa fork and shock. Stability is refined, as is the perception of control and driving precision, as reported. At the front, an upside-down Showa fork with 49 mm stanchions similar to the 'factory' one used in competitions. The cylinder has a diameter of 25 mm, the rod is 14 mm and the piston is 39 mm. The inclination of the steering head is set at 27°18′ and the trail at 116 mm, considering a wheelbase of 1.486 mm. The weight with a full tank amounts to 111 kg, always taking the information and the saddle is placed at 957 mm. Also featured is a forged aluminum stand.
The braking system includes a front brake caliper with two pistons of different diameters, 30 and 27 mm, connected to a 260 mm wave disc. While the rear one is 240 mm associated with a single-piston caliper with more durable pads and rear disc cover.

Among the aspects listed also a 7,3 liter tank, specific suspension set-up and 18-inch rear wheel. The front is 21 inches. The ECU mappings are developed for a more gradual delivery of thrust compared to a cross model, as indicated.
Several aspects already highlighted for the 2021 model have been confirmed in the 2020 model, with the development of the 250 cc twin cam engine characterized by greater torque at low and medium rpm, with additional power at high rpm, redefining the combustion chamber. Then the ratio of the second gear is closer to the third, reducing the drop in engine speed in this phase. The clutch action has also been refined, as well as optimization of the intake and exhaust and engine mapping.
The homologation for road circulation and the related preparation are carried out by RedMoto Srl, partner of Honda Motor Europe Ltd Italia for the distribution of the Honda CRF off-road range in Italy, following the indications.

Resting on the model 250 CRF2021RX, is reported as the enduro version “big bore” di RedMoto. It retains aspects such as agility and dynamism already highlighted considering the 2020 model with consistent torque at low and medium speeds and lively power, in symbiosis with an aluminum frame and swingarm and a dedicated suspension set-up.
Also in this case, the 'street-legal' version approved for the Italian and European markets is managed by RedMoto Srl, official partner of Honda Motor Europe Ltd. Italy for the distribution of the Honda CRF off-road range.
Compared to the 250, the CRF300RX Enduro It has a thermal heart with a larger diameter. There are revised maps for refined delivery, a 7,3 liter tank, dedicated suspension set-up, an 18-inch rear wheel and a forged aluminum stand.

The frame and swingarm are identical to those of the CRF250RX. Highlighted, in addition to the optimal rigidity balance, is the stability linked to compression damping settings for the Showa fork and shock absorber. The seat height amounts to 957 mm.
Already considering 2020, the development of the 300 cc twin-cam engine has been focused on increasing torque at low and medium speeds with an extensive redefinition of the combustion chamber and further interventions together with the optimization of intake and exhaust and engine mapping, such as reported.

The new example is designed to offer usability with a refined delivery response at the touch of the throttle based on the needs of enthusiasts.
The approval for road circulation and the related specific enduro equipment are always handled by RedMoto Srl, partner of Honda Motor Europe Ltd Italia for the distribution of the Honda CRF off-road range in Italy.
The new CRF400RX Enduro it is evolved in various aspects, considering the experience acquired by the Official Enduro Team. Highlights are new integrated handguards as standard and a side stand closer to the frame, keeping overall ergonomics in mind. Functional freedom of movement is favored by the more compact superstructures and the smaller, lower seat at the rear. This is placed at 965 mm.

According to the information, it weighs 2,3 kg less than its predecessor (a dry weight of 107,6 kg) and is equipped with a new frame and swingarm, with aforementioned changes to geometry and suspension for optimization of cornering performance. At the front, the brake caliper includes two pistons with different diameters of 30 and 27 mm together with a 260 mm wave disc, the rear one is 240 mm associated with a single piston caliper.
The refinements also concern the engine with new intake and exhaust ducts, a new decompression system and a single silencer, making driveability at low and medium speeds smoother. We also worked on the clutch, which is more resistant, with a hydraulic control that allows greater control even with less pressure on the lever, as indicated.

An updated example drawing on the know-how acquired with the development of HRC's CRF450RW, taking the information back.
In partnership with Honda RedMoto World Enduro Team, RedMoto has taken care of the optimization of the product to make it compliant with the needs of European enduro, dealing with the response to the touch of the throttle and express delivery.
As previously, the approval for road circulation and the related specific equipment are handled by RedMoto Srl, partner of Honda Motor Europe Ltd Italia for the distribution of the Honda CRF off-road range in Italy.

The superstructures are more compact and the saddle placed at a height of 965 mm is less extended for greater freedom of movement. Also mentioned as standard are new integrated handguards and a side stand closer to the frame. Also in this case the weight is low at 2,3 kg and the model features a new frame and a renewed swingarm associated with interventions relating to the geometry and suspensions from a performance perspective. The engine includes new intake and exhaust ducts, a new decompression system and a single silencer for driveability at low and medium speeds. The clutch is revised, more resistant and with a hydraulic control that allows greater control with less pressure on the lever.
