About Honda CRF250L Dual Enduro

Offroad Vietnam is proud to introduce the Honda CRF250L 250cc dirt bike, a versatile dual-sport motorcycle designed for riders who want to explore Vietnam on both paved roads and challenging off-road tracks. With its reliable Honda engineering, fuel-injected engine, and comfortable riding position, the CRF250L is an excellent choice for motorbike rental in Hanoi and adventure riding across Northern Vietnam.

The Honda CRF250L (MD38) is part of Honda’s globally recognized CRF motorcycle series. First introduced in 2012 for the 2013 model year, this dual-sport motorcycle combines everyday practicality with the versatility needed for longer journeys and mixed-terrain adventures. Its fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine, electric starter, double overhead camshafts (DOHC), and counterbalancer provide dependable performance for touring and off-road exploration.

The engine is a 249.6cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder DOHC unit with a wet-sump lubrication system and electric starting. The motorcycle is equipped with a headlight, taillight, turn signals, mirrors, and a road-oriented exhaust system. It has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 7.5 litres (2.0 US gallons), a curb weight of around 145 kg (320 lb) and a seat height of 881 mm (34.7 inches). These specifications make the Honda CRF250L a practical option for riders looking for a capable 250cc dual-sport motorbike in Vietnam.

Honda CRF250L – A Reliable 250cc Engine

The Honda CRF250L 250cc engine delivers smooth, predictable power, making it suitable for long-distance touring, mountain roads, and a variety of off-road conditions. Its six-speed gearbox provides flexibility across different riding speeds and terrain, while the fuel-injection system helps ensure consistent engine operation. The electric starter is especially convenient when stopping frequently during countryside rides or starting early in the morning.

For riders exploring Northern Vietnam’s mountain passes, rural backroads and unpaved tracks, the CRF250L offers a useful balance of manageable power and everyday reliability. It is a good option for experienced riders who want more capability than a small commuter motorcycle can offer without moving to a much larger adventure bike.

Disk Brakes

The Honda CRF250L features front and rear disc brakes to provide dependable braking performance on paved roads and off-road trails. Good braking control is particularly important when riding through mountainous areas, descending steep roads or navigating changing surfaces such as gravel, dirt and loose stones.

Compared with older dual-sport designs such as the Honda XR250, the CRF250L offers a more modern overall package. However, braking performance always depends on road conditions, tyre grip, maintenance and riding technique. Riders should adjust their speed to suit the terrain, especially in wet weather.

Board

The Honda CRF250L’s digital dashboard provides essential riding information in a clear, easy-to-read format. It gives riders a modern alternative to the more traditional instrument layouts found on older motorcycles, helping them monitor their ride while travelling through Vietnam’s cities, countryside and mountain regions.

Luggage Rack

The practical luggage rack provides a convenient place to secure essential belongings for a motorbike adventure. It can be useful when carrying personal items, rain gear and other necessities on multi-day trips around Northern Vietnam.

When preparing for longer journeys, luggage should be packed securely and kept within the motorcycle’s recommended load limits. Proper weight distribution helps maintain stability and control, particularly on rough or uneven roads.

Headlight

The Honda CRF250L headlight features an automatic headlight-on system (AHO) on applicable versions, improving visibility by keeping the headlight illuminated while riding. Its distinctive design complements the motorcycle’s modern dual-sport appearance.

Good lighting is important when travelling through Vietnam’s countryside, where shaded mountain roads, changing weather, and limited street lighting can affect visibility. Nevertheless, we recommend completing your daily rides before dark whenever possible.

Important

• This Honda CRF250L dirt bike is not ideal for carrying two people over long distances. The seat, passenger footpegs, and additional luggage load can make two-up riding less comfortable, especially on rough roads. We recommend riding solo for the best comfort and handling. If carrying a passenger is unavoidable, take frequent breaks, keep daily distances manageable, and avoid riding after dark or in heavy rain.
• Offroad Vietnam is based in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam. Our motorbike rentals start and finish in Hanoi. We do not offer motorcycle hire outside Hanoi or one-way rentals. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend other rental providers because we cannot personally verify the condition of their motorcycles or the quality of their services.
• To secure your preferred motorcycle, we require a deposit to confirm your Honda CRF250L rental booking, with the remaining balance payable when you collect the bike. If you wait until arriving in Hanoi to book, availability cannot be guaranteed, as our motorcycles are frequently reserved in advance.
• Rental days are not automatically calculated as consecutive 24-hour periods. The first rental day begins when you collect your motorcycle, unless a different arrangement has been agreed as part of a special deal. Please confirm your collection and return times when making your booking.
