Powering the new CBR250RR will be a 249cc, 8-valve, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine paired to a 6-speed gearbox. This motor will get a newly-designed piston and tuned for generating power worth 41PS, thus making it 3PS more powerful than the existing version. At present, the bike returns a maximum power of 38PS at 12,500rpm and 23Nm of torque at 11,000rpm.
Besides the more powerful engine, the 2020 Honda CBR250RR is likely to come with an optional bi-directional quickshifter and a slipper clutch. The bikemaker will also equip a smart key system for keyless ignition. There will also be a ‘Lock Button’ integrated on the handlebar for locking and unlocking the vehicle. The bike might also get an updated instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.
As of now, the company has no plan to bring in the 2020 Honda CBR250RR in the Indian market. Here, the Japanese bikemaker will expand its product portfolio with 500cc motorcycles including the Honda Rebel 500 cruiser and Honda CBRX 500. Talking about the Rebel 500, the cruiser motorcycle comes equipped with a 471cc, 8V, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that’s good for 45.5PS and 44.6Nm.
