The 2021 Honda CBR250RR has been launched in Malaysia. The Yamaha R25 rival is available in the Southeast Asian country in two colour options - Winning Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. Both the paint schemes carry the same price tag of MYR 25,999 which converts to INR 4.73 lakh.
Powering the new CBR250RR is a 249.7cc
parallel-twin engine. It is a liquid-cooled unit which features a DOHC setup
and 8 valves. Honda has tuned it to deliver a max power of 40.23 hp at 13,000
rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 11,000 rpm. For the transmission, there’s a
slick 6-speed gearbox which is accompanied by assist and slipper clutch.
The 2021 Honda CBR250RR uses a pair of USD front forks and rear monoshock for the suspension setup. The braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both the ends. The front has a dual-piston calliper whereas the rear gets a single-piston calliper. To aid in the braking performance of the quarter-litre motorcycle, Honda has also provided a dual-channel ABS.
The new CBR250RR is a fantastic-looking motorcycle. Its dual-LED headlamp along with the LED DRLs impart a very imposing appearance. It certainly looks like a big bike from the front. The sculpted fuel tank is designed to allow the riders to easily grip the motorcycle with their thighs. The dual-pod exhaust might be overkill for some but it surely adds more sportiness to the overall visual appeal of the bike. Honda has also provided a very stylish and informative fully-digital instrument cluster.
