Engineered 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 centralise mass, the 250cc 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.

ENGINE
WP XACT FRONT SUSPENSION
New shim stack settings improve the overall balance, cornering agility, and riding comfort on the FC 250 for 2024. The 48 mm WP XACT forks are designed as a closed cartridge system 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 mid-valve damping system, together with a hydrostop that applies a progressive damping force in the last 40 mm of travel, 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. Additionally, the air pump needed to adjust the fork's air spring pressure is provided as standard.
WP XACT SHOCK ABSORBER
The WP XACT rear shock offers 293 mm of travel. Inside the shock is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) optimised main piston for improved initial comfort, which provides strong hold-up in all conditions. Differently sized holes in the shims, which feature updated stack settings for 2024 to improve balance and handling, allow them to open more easily which reduces the overall stress of the oil flow. Complete with low friction SKF seals that are fitted throughout the linkage system, consistent damping, comfort, and traction are guaranteed with rebound and both high and low speed compression adjustable by hand.
SWINGARM
The 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 optimise 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.
Hailed as the highest performing 250 cc 4-stroke motocross machine on the market, the FC 250 is equipped with multiple, performance-focused technical upgrades to maintain its place at the head of the field. New for 2024, striking white, yellow, and grey graphics are applied using in-mold technology for an outstanding and long-lasting finish while revised suspension settings further improve overall handling. Housed inside a lightweight chromium molybdenum frame, the compact, powerful, and versatile engine features a Pankl gearbox for smooth gear changes with a Quickshifter further aiding upshifts, especially under heavy load.
