The HONDA CRF250 RALLY is popular as an easy-handling all-round model that can be used both in the touring and on the forest road. However, some riders might be afraid of its seat height. We had a test ride on the Type LD lately released as a low-down model, to report its features.

The Type LD is a low-down version of the CRF250 RALLY with a quite lower seat height by 65 mm. We had a test ride to confirm advantage and disadvantage about the lowdown.
The CRF250 Rally has front suspensions 30 mm longer than the CRF250L and the extended rear wheel travel by 25 mm by the newly designed rear suspension link. Although acquiring an elastic ride feeling by those changes, it has a worse foot grounding than the CRF250L because of the 895 mm seat height.
