Based on the favored CRF250L but with rally styling inspired by the factory HRC Monster Energy Honda Team, the CRF250L Rally touts an outsized 2.7-gallon fuel tank and a frame-mounted windscreen that makes it comfortable for long-distance adventuring, but it also offers nimble handling in city traffic or on technical trails.

Available in standard and ABS versions, the Honda CRF250L Rally possesses relaxed dirt-bike ergonomics, long-travel off-road suspension, and smooth power.
