That is what Akrapovic quotes for fitting this system, and it is the longest of any CRF250R exhaust in the catalogue — a full 45 minutes more than the machines that came after it. On a bike that goes back on the bench after every meeting, that is worth knowing before the box is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium throughout, with a coated silencer outer sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.6 kg where the standard system weighs 4.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak output of 35.5 PS, read at 11,050 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque of 25.2 Nm, with the gain arriving at 7,900 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable noise insert supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets FIM noise limits, with a welded bracket and a titanium end cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed course competition use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Coating Is New Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic notes for this system that the silencer outer sleeve carries a new coating for better scratch resistance and easier cleaning. That is a motocross answer to a motocross problem: a titanium can spends its life in roost, and bare titanium marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating does not make it invincible. It makes the difference between a pressure washer and a wire brush at the end of a wet meeting, which over a season is the difference that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Hundred Grams, and Nothing Inflated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.2 kg standard down to 3.6. Fourteen per cent, and it is the smallest saving of any Evolution Line Honda has needed for this bike. That is not a criticism of the system — it is a fact about the 2014 machine, which already left the factory with a comparatively light exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe later twin-silencer CRF250R carried 5.4 kg of standard exhaust, so the Evolution Line for that generation could take a third off. Here there was simply less to remove, and quoting a bigger number would mean quoting the wrong one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Different Engine Speeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeak power is read at 11,050 rpm and the torque gain at 7,900. Those are far apart, and that spread is the useful part: the system does something for the middle of the range as well as the top, rather than only sharpening what was already there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.1 Nm at just under eight thousand revs on a 250 four-stroke is drive out of a rut, not a dyno headline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Insert Is Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic records a removable noise insert for this system, and states that the exhaust meets FIM noise limits. Between them, those two facts cover most of what a club or national meeting will ask of a bike at scrutineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Welded Bracket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic specifies a more durable welded bracket rather than a bolted one. On a road bike that would be a footnote. On a motocross machine, the silencer mount is one of the parts that actually fails, and a welded joint has nothing to work loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Oldest CRF250R in the Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic still lists systems for four generations of this motorcycle, and 2014 is the earliest. A CRF250R of that age is a club bike, a practice bike or a project, and the case for a titanium exhaust on one is about how it runs rather than what it is worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone.
