Honda has unveiled the honda cb250ss scrambler concept at the CIMA Motorcycle Trade Show in Chongqing, China. The neo‑retro bike combines a 249 cc liquid‑cooled single‑cylinder engine with a scrambler‑styled appearance.
Honda CB250SS Scrambler Concept Details
The concept showcases a compact frame with design‑first priorities. A circular headlamp, reminiscent of the Rebel series, houses four LED projectors, while a protective guard adds rugged visual cues. The fuel tank adopts a teardrop shape with red striping and white branding, complemented by a small windshield featuring red borders.
Design and Features
Front and rear mudguards use a playful red‑and‑white palette. The radiator is protected by a white grille bearing the CB badge, and a sturdy bash plate hints at off‑road intentions. Gold‑finished front USD forks and a gearbox casing elevate the premium feel, while black side panels carry the SS branding. The seat is ribbed, brown, and bears Honda’s logo.
Engine and Performance
Power comes from a 249 cc liquid‑cooled single‑cylinder unit, the same family that underpins the Rebel 250 and the larger 286 cc engine found in the CB300R and Rebel 300. Expected output mirrors the Rebel 250’s 26 bhp and 22 Nm of torque. The bike rides on 17‑inch dual‑purpose tyres with a block pattern, and an up‑swept double‑barrel exhaust adds to the scrambler vibe, though suspension travel appears modest, limiting true off‑road capability.
Future Prospects
Honda has labeled the model a concept, and no production timeline has been disclosed. Uncertainty remains about market scope—whether the bike will stay exclusive to the Chinese market or become a global offering. Until Honda confirms a production version, enthusiasts can only speculate on availability.
