The 2021 Honda CBR250RR has been launched
in Japan. The updated motorcycle produces more power and torque and gets new
colour options. No design changes have been implemented in the new model. Honda
has made several modifications in the 249 cc twin-cylinder engine of the 2021
CBR250RR. For example, the pistons are newly designed, there is a tin plating
on the piston rings, the connecting rods have been carburised, and the ignition
timing has been altered. The Japanese company has also optimised the intake
system as well as changed the internal structure of the muffler. The ECU has
been remapped, too.
All these tweaks have helped Honda to
extract more power and torque from the engine. The 2021 Honda CBR250RR produces
41 PS of maximum power at 13,000 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 11,000rpm. In
comparison, the 2019 model used to churn out 38 PS at 12,500rpm and 23 Nm at
11,000rpm. The new motorcycle also comes equipped with a slipper and assist
clutch along with an optional quickshifter. At 168 kg, the weight has also gone
up by 1 kg.
In terms of design, no changes have been
implemented in the 2021 Honda CBR250RR. It continues to flaunt the aggressive
styling that features a twin-LED headlamp setup along with double-barrel
exhaust. It looks very attractive and sporty from every angle. For the 2021
model year, Honda has shuffled the colour options.
The 2021 Honda CBR250RR is available in
four colour options including Matte Gun Power Black Metallic, Pearl Glare
White, Grand Prix Red, and Grand Prix Red with stripes. All of them come with
gold alloy wheels. However, there is some difference in the pricing. The Matte
Gun Power Black Metallic, Pearl Glare White, and Grand Prix Red colour schemes
cost JPY 821,700 whereas the Grand Prix Red
with stripes has been priced at JPY 854,700.
Honda plans to sell 4,000 units of the
2021 CBR250RR in Japan annually.
