Upshift Project: 2017 Honda CRF250X

We teamed up with Cylinder Works and Hot Cams to build a bike for the Upshift fleet with new riders in mind to ride in Idaho. The 2017 Honda 250X is reliable and trusted as a great entry-level machine. The 250X hasn’t actually changed between 2004 to 2018, so there’s a lot of these bikes around.  For this build, we focused on making the bike a little more comfortable for shorter female riders riding offroad.  By having Factory Connection lower the suspension, and installing a slightly lower Moto Seat, we were able to reduce the standover height by over an inch.

Our other main goal was to increase the power on the bike as the stock 250X is really corked down, but the potential for improvement is there. We wanted to make this bike as fast and strong as an R model with a few of their reliable mods. Check out the full build sheet at: http://bit.ly/2HHtjVH
