The FE 250's engine is designed to be powerful, light and compact and takes another progressive step forward for 2020. With all major components and shaft arrangements once again carefully positioned to centralise mass, its renowned outstanding performance and handling characteristics are maintained. Through innovative manufacturing processes and design, the engine only weighs 27.6 kg and delivers a smooth, torquey power delivery which makes the FE 250 accessible for both professionals and amateurs.

ENGINE
CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head features advanced technology aimed at reducing weight and drag: from the low friction surface upon which the new twin overhead camshafts rotate, to the four lightweight titanium valves (intake 32.5 mm, exhaust 26.5 mm) that are actuated by DLC (diamond like carbon) coated finger followers. The new camshafts also feature revised timing, further boosting performance and responsiveness.
CYLINDER AND PISTON
The cylinder is taken over from the successful FC 250 motocross model and features the same 78 mm bore. It also houses a forged bridged-box-type piston, professionally engineered from high-strength aluminium. All this results in outstanding performance and reliability. The new cylinder as well as new cylinder head gasket also increase compression ratio from 12.8:1 to 13.8:1 for enhanced power output.
EXHAUST
The exhaust system is expertly designed to deliver class-leading performance at the lowest possible weight. The header pipe is designed and manufactured in two pieces, to be as compact as possible. It also features a new joining position, which allows it to be removed without having to take out the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a shorter, more compact silencer without increasing noise levels. The component is crafted from lightweight aluminium and is stylishly finished off in a new coating that highlights its premium quality.
Built upon a proven technical platform, the FE 250 bodywork offers rider contact points for greater control, even in the toughest of conditions. Highlighting the latest revisions, striking blue and yellow graphics, along with a white frame, create a distinctive look that underlines the constant evolution of this established enduro machine. Assembled with quality, with high-performance components used throughout, the FE 250 is capable of competing at the highest level thanks to the premium Michelin enduro tyres, BRAKTEC brakes and clutch, and enduro-specific WP suspension.
