• Championship-proven Performance

The base factors that have made the KX250 engine a standout performer in its class—finger-follower valve actuation, a downdraft-style intake, and dual injectors—are complemented by revised intake and exhaust layout and a single-shaft primary balancer, for an all-around stronger package with enhanced control better capable of challenging for race results.

• Light & Agile

The KX250’s new frame is based on that of the 2024 KX450, and updates for 2025 to suit the new intake and exhaust layout help to deliver improved handling. Smooth bodywork is designed to facilitate rider movement and control, and fine-tuned suspension and brake components further contribute to the KX250’s light, agile handling. ODI Lock-On grips and a quick-release side cover add to convenience.
