    250X compared to 150RB

    by bigman32hockey » Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:03 pm

    I recently purchased a 2018 CRF150RB for my son. He has been riding for a while now, mostly on "F" versions. He absolutely loves his new 150RB. Problem is, now I have a hard time keeping up with him on my CRF230F! I am thinking of upgrading to a CRF250X. I like to do more trail riding, and to be honest, I love the idea of electric start, a kickstand, headlight, taillight, odometer, etc., etc. The question I wanted to ask was, will the 250X be faster or slower than the 150RB? I know the 250X is a 5-speed with taller gearing, but I wondered if the extra 100cc's is enough to compensate for that plus the additional weight. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    The 250X with an R cam is a formidable bike. The only thing holding it back is the rider.
