The suspension system comprises fully adjustable WP Xact Aer forks upfront and a WP Xact rear monoshock, ensuring optimal handling and comfort. With a towering seat height of 958mm and a generous ground clearance of 343mm, this bike is designed for serious off-road riding.

Additional features like launch control, a quick shifter, and selectable engine maps enhance the 250 SX-F’s performance and rider convenience.
