• Low Maintenance Engine

Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.

• Strong, Compact Frame

A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through optimized mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity along with reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling.

• Advanced Long-Travel Suspension

The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on- and off-road while an aluminum lower triple clamp reduces weight.

The maximum turning angle of the handlebar is 51 degrees—almost like a trials machine—combined with a short wheelbase of only 53.5 inches, the XT250 has a super-tight turning radius for excellent maneuverability.

• Linkage-Style Shock

A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive Monocross® linkage system for a smooth ride.

• Dirt-Ready Wheels

21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.

• Generous Ground Clearance

Impressive 11.2 inches of ground clearance means you’ve got serious off-road capability.

• Advanced LCD Instruments

Multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting is easily visible day or night. It also removes unnecessary weight from the handlebar for light, precise handling.

• Extended Fuel Range

The stylish gas tank holds a full 2.6 gallons for long-range riding.

• Comfortable Saddle

The long, thick seat creates a balanced riding position for optimal movement and comfort.
