The 2026 Kove MX250 is the small-bore four-stroke motocrosser with a 20-year-old MSRP and 2026-modern tech under the plastic. A 249cc DOHC single — completely redesigned for 2026 with finger-follower valvetrain to raise the rev ceiling — puts out 40.2hp at 12,000 rpm through Bosch EFI, electric start, and a 5-speed gearbox. Selectable engine maps, launch control, quick shift, and a lap timer make it raceable straight off the showroom floor. KYB 48mm inverted forks and YU-AN piggy-back shock both deliver 12” of fully-adjustable travel, the chassis weighs just 227 lbs dry, and the slim cockpit is dialed for both small and tall riders. Closed-course competition only — perfect for vet-class racers, trail riders stepping up, and anyone who wants serious 250F hardware at a $7K MSRP.
