Featuring finger followers treated with a Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating, the DOHC cylinder head is engineered for high-level performance and further refined for 2023 with multiple revisions to improve performance and durability. The titanium intake valves remain at 32.5 mm while the exhaust valves increase in size to 27.5 mm – a direct result of the new bore/stroke ratio, which in turn optimizes gas flow. These revisions allow the FC 250 to rev freely and produce strong and efficient power throughout the rev range up to its 14,000 rpm limit.

Hailed as the highest performing 250 cc 4-stroke motocross machine on the market, the latest generation FC 250 receives multiple technical upgrades for 2023 to retain its place at the head of the field. Housed inside an all-new frame, a compact, lighter, redesigned engine features a revised Pankl gearbox ensuring smoother gear changes with a new quickshifter further aiding upshifts, even under heavy load. A new cylinder and CP piston increase the compression ratio to 14.5:1 for improved torque and peak performance on track. Completing the changes for 2023, striking white, yellow, and grey graphics are applied using in-mould technology for an outstanding and long-lasting finish. |
01. Faster and wiser
ENGINEEngineered to ensure class-leading performance and handling characteristics, all major engine components and shaft arrangements are carefully positioned closer to the centre of gravity to reduce the effects of rotational inertia. Tilted two degrees backwards to further centralize mass, the 250 cc 4-stroke engine is also 60 g lighter for 2023, tipping the scales at just over 26 kg. The FC 250 engine remains remarkably powerful with an increased power output and impressive torque to suit riders of all abilities.

DOHC CYLINDER HEAD |
CRANKCASESThe FC 250 crankcases are designed to optimize mass centralization by housing all internal components in the ideal position to achieve the perfect centre of gravity. Manufactured using a high-pressure die-cast production process, the result is a thin, exceptionally strong wall thickness at the lowest possible weight. |
CYLINDER AND PISTONA new 81 mm bore houses a forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP, which weighs just 150 g. High strength aluminium is used to manufacture both the cylinder and piston, with both components professionally engineered for outstanding performance and reliability. The stroke has been adapted to 48.5 mm to match the resized cylinder, boosting the compression ratio to 14.5:1 and adding further torque and peak performance to the FC 250. |
 |
GEARBOXProduced by Pankl Racing Systems, the 5-speed gearbox is designed to be extremely light and durable while featuring optimized and proven motocross-specific gear ratios (24:72). A redesign of the shift shaft reduces the operating forces required for gear changes. Integrated into the shift drum, a new quickshift sensor can be activated by pressing the QS marked button on the Map Select Switch to further aid seamless upshifting.

02. Ride easier
LIGHTWEIGHT FRAMEThe proven chromium molybdenum steel frame is refined for 2023. A new shock mounting, which is no longer connected to the main tube, significantly improves the anti-squat behaviour of the chassis. With optimized wall thickness in high stress areas improving reliability, the frame continues to offer advanced geometries and flex characteristics aimed at providing unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption, and exceptional straight line stability. The frame is finished off in a premium metallic blue powder coating with redesigned standard frame protectors offering superior protection, durability, and grip in any condition. Additionally, the inclusion of forged brackets on the lower frame rails allows for easy installation of the skid plate, which is available as a technical accessory. |

CNC MACHINED TRIPLE CLAMPSMatching the new frame design and suspension set-up, the CNC-machined triple clamps provide precisely calculated geometry for increased stability. Customized handlebar flex can be achieved by the new handlebar clamp which offers two mounting options – rubber damped for less vibration or fixed for enhanced front-end feedback. The upper triple clamp is stiffer to ensure a smoother fork action and plays a vital role in the perfect alignment of the front wheel for superior handling. |
WP XACT SUSPENSIONThe 48 mm split air forks now offer improved bottoming resistance thanks to a new hydrostop, which applies a progressive damping force in the last 40 mm of travel for even greater comfort. The WP forks are designed with a capsulated, adjustable air spring and pressurized oil chamber for smooth action and consistent damping. Oil and air bypasses reduce pressure peaks and in combination with a midvalve damping system, the forks provide precise feedback to the rider. The settings are easily adjusted via the single air pressure pre-load valve, as well as through easy access click adjusters for compression and rebound. For improved durability, new fork protection rings prevent dirt intrusion. Additionally, the air pump needed to adjust the fork’s air pressure is provided as standard. |
SWINGARMThe new hollow die-cast aluminium swingarm is manufactured from a single piece of aluminium using an improved die-cast production process for optimal stiffness and a 190 g weight reduction over previous versions. In order to optimize and match the flex characteristics from the new frame, a new 22 mm rear axle is fitted. Additionally, the chain guard and chain slider have been completely redesigned for improved durability and are less prone to hooking on external objects. |
03. Effortless ergonomics
HYDRAULIC CLUTCHThe new, high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear, near maintenance-free operation and perfect modulation in every condition. Meaning that play is constantly compensated so that the pressure point, and function of the clutch remain identical in cold or hot conditions, as well as over time. Countless hours of race focused testing have proven the high-quality, Italian-made Brembo hydraulic systems exceptional reliability. |

 |
 |
FOOTRESTSAll-new, CFD-designed footrests offer a 26.8% larger contact area to ensure better control of the machine while being less susceptible to hooking on deep ruts, take-offs when scrubbing, or trackside barriers. This was achieved by a new, narrower mounting design in the frame layout, which also helps reduce overall weight. |
*GEARBOXProduced by PANKL RACING SYSTEMS, the new 5-speed gearbox is designed to be extremely light and durable while featuring specific and proven motocross-specific gear ratios. |
*BRAKESThe highest level of quality is guaranteed with class-leading Brembo callipers and controls. The 260 mm front and 220 mm solid rear discs deliver superior stopping power instilling confidence in any condition. |
04. Technologically advanced
FUEL TANKA new and bigger 7.2 litre fuel tank integrates neatly into the revised bodywork. Due to the new fuel pump design and position, the tank is emptied further for increased running times. For improved safety, the external fuel line is specifically routed to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage. |

LAUNCH CONTROLWith the engine at idle, launch control is engaged by pressing the traction control and quickshift buttons simultaneously. Both symbols will start flashing to indicate the launch control is active. This function limits the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction, and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration. Once a gear change is made, the launch control will deactivate automatically. Additionally, the quickshift function is deactivated while launch control mode is engaged. |
MAPPINGFor personalized power delivery, the FC 250 has two built-in engine maps as standard. Map 1 offers linear, predictable power, while Map 2 is more aggressive for sharper throttle response and more explosive power output. |
ODI GRIPSODI lock-on grips feature an innovative integrated throttle mechanism and a glue-free installation. The throttle assembly offers easy free-play adjustment with the option to fit alternative cams for a personalized throttle action. |
