Honda CBR250RR – Mechanicals

The Honda CBR250RR gets a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, 249.7cc engine, which pumps out a maximum power output of 40 bhp @ 13,000 rpm and a peak torque output of 25 Nm @ 11,000 rpm.

The performance from the engine can be extracted using three different ride modes – Comfort, Sport and Sport+.

The Honda CBR250RR sits on a diamond truss frame and gets upside-down telescopic forks at the front and a 5-way adjustable mono-shock at the rear. For braking duties, the CBR250RR is equipped with single petal disc brakes at both front and rear, which are assisted with a dual-channel ABS.

Honda CBR250RR – Will it come to India?

Honda did sell the single-cylinder CBR250R once upon a time in India. However, the motorcycle was taken off the shelves of the Indian market, owing to its declining sales. The CBR250RR was seen as a perfect replacement for the CBR250R. However, Honda is reluctant in bringing this motorcycle to India, as it will be a pricey proposition for our market. Currently, Honda has confirmed to bring the single-cylinder CB300R in the quarter-litre segment, which is a 300cc naked roadster, which is going to launch in India in January 2022.
