Italian outlet Moto.it examined why the jump from a 125cc two-stroke to an MX2-class 250cc four-stroke is harder than it looks, based on years of test rides. Even with similar dimensions, riders face more weight, inertia and engine braking that change the feel entirely. Bikes tested include Ducati's DESMO 250 MX, Honda's CRF250R and Kawasaki's KX250, with Honda's full redesign expected only in 2028.
