XT250
2012 XT250
See the World, One Trail or Road at a Time.
Key Features:
- Long-travel suspension and more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance live under a seat only 31.9 inches from the ground.
- Electric start makes firing up the 249cc four-stroke effortless.
- 245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.
Engine:
- 249cc air-cooled four-stroke with 9.5:1 compression makes maximum power at 7500 rpm and maximum torque at 6500 rpm for great on- and off-road performance.
- A light-and-strong forged piston inside a plated cylinder helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability.
- 33mm vacuum-type carburetor keeps the airflow up for excellent performance and throttle response.
- A light crankshaft helps provide quick responsive power.
- Wide-ratio five-speed transmission for maximum power and performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions.
- Straighter intake tract for improved performance.
- Hassle-free pushbutton electric starting adds extra convenience and reliability.
- Engine is mounted high in the frame to provide an incredible 11.2 inches of ground clearance.
- Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.
Chassis/Suspension:
- A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling.
- The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on-road and off. An aluminum lower triple clamp keeps the weight down.
- 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.
- A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive, Monocross®-style linkage system for a smooth ride.
- 21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.
- 245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.
- 11.2 inches of ground clearance means you’ve got serious off-road capability.
Additional Features:
- Multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting is easily visible day or night. It also removes a lot of weight from the handlebar for light, precise handling.
- The stylish gas tank holds a full 2.6 gallons (2.4 gallons CA) for long-range riding.
- Long, thick seat creates a balanced riding position for optimal rider movement and comfort.
- Durable and wide front fender is designed to keep mud and dirt off the rider when exploring off-road.
- Frame-mounted passenger footpegs provide two-up riding capability.
- Enduro-style, 60/55-watt halogen headlight features a cool 133mm lens for excellent visibility at night.
- Flex-mounted turn indicators offer great durability against breakage.
- Retractable brake and shift pedals deal with tough trail obstacles.
- Durable fork boots help prevent rocks and debris from damaging fork sliders.
- Standard dual rearview mirrors.
- Easy-to-use choke lever.
- Air-induction system helps clean up emissions, and a spark arrestor makes the XT trail ready.
- Dependable, low-maintenance battery.
