Motor

• MOTOR: The compact motor in our EX 250F pumps out some serious performance! Amazingly powerful, weighing just 25.9kg (57 lbs) and producing peak power at 14,000rpm, the lively 250cc, electric-start power unit is incredibly user friendly yet massively capable. Compact and designed to boost handling as well as best in class performance, it's a small but potent 4-stroke package.
• CYLINDER HEAD AND BALANCER SHAFT: We've carefully designed the combustion chamber of the EX 250F, so it produces efficient, high-level power across the entire rev range. A motor all riders will want to rev hard, the DOHC cylinder head features large titanium valves and finger followers with a tough Diamond Like Coating (DLC) that results is minimal friction and optimal performance. To balance out the mass forces, we've also fitted a multifunctional balancer shaft, which also drives the coolant pump and the timing chain.
• CYLINDER & PISTON: The EX 250F cylinder and piston are both professionally engineered from high strength aluminum, performing an important role in delivering the lively performance that makes the bike so much fun to ride. Guaranteeing outstanding performance and reliability the 78mm bore houses a rigid, forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP.
• TRANSMISSION: The 6-speed forged transmission from Pankl Racing Systems ensures our little 250cc racer delivers the highest levels of durability and reliability and uses wide-ratio gearing that’s perfectly suited to cross country racing. Additionally, a gear sensor allows the EMS to tailor a specific engine character to each gear. There’s a no dirt gear level too!
• CRANKSHAFT: The spinning heart of the EX 250F motor ensures durability and the best possible performance. Carefully located within the motor it also helps centralize oscillating masses for super easy handling. A plain big end bearing with force-fitted bearing shells increases service intervals.
• CRANKCASE: The protective housing that keeps all internal components safe and secure and in the perfect positions to achieve the ideal center of gravity, the high-pressure casting process we use to make our crankcases ensures they have a thin wall thickness for minimal weight. Don't worry, they are seriously strong!
• EXHAUST SYSTEM: Ensuring cross country specific power, our EX exhaust systems are designed to deliver the highest possible quality. The EX 250F, EX 350F and EX 450F exhaust systems are designed using an innovative 3D hydroforming process to ensure the best performance and lowest weight as well as a 2-part header pipe, which allows it to be removed without having to take out the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer that doesn't increase noise levels.
• DS CLUTCH: The fitted Diaphragm Steel (DS) clutch ensures that riders can quickly and easily keep the revs up on the EX 250F. Featuring a single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs the clutch basket is a single-piece CNC machined steel component, which allows the use of thin steel liners. Light and precise the clutch ensures a smooth and constant action no matter how much abuse it receives!
