Bangalore based turning firm, RaceConcepts run by Joel Joseph has come up with a tuned exhaust for the Honda CBR250R, in what is one of the first made-in-India performance boosting product for this quarter liter Honda. The Honda CBR250R does have a range of aftermarket exhausts, both branded and unbranded ones in markets like Thailand and Malaysia. While the branded ones like Yoshimura are quite expensive, unbranded ones often end up lowering the performance of the motorcycle. So, Indian CBR250R owners were caught between a rock and a hard place. However, all that has now changed.

A Honda CBR250R with a RaceConcepts Free Flow Tuned Exhaust

RaceConcepts has come up with the tuned free flow exhaust for the Honda CBR250R, which is not just affordable, but which also enhances performance by quite a bit. According to Joel, the lazy motor on the CBR250R with the stock exhaust has now been transformed into a rev hungry motor with the RaceConcepts free flow exhaust. Peak power at the rear has gone up by more than 10% and this has been dyno tested, though RaceConcepts haven’t yet made the dyno sheets public.
Joel claims that the CBR250R  with the RaceConcepts exhaust and head work does 24.5 Bhp at the wheel as opposed to the stock version’s 21.14 Bhp. So, that is a full 3 ponies higher than the stock motorcycle or over 15% boost in power due to the RaceConcepts exhaust and tuning work on the engine head. The RaceConcepts exhaust shod Honda CBR250R is touted to be as fast as a Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
The V-Box figures for top speed and acceleration, Joel says, will be put up shortly along with the dyno chart. Apart from the exhaust, Joel has also worked on the suspension of the CBR250R to fix the soft set up, which isn’t the best one for hard cornering. The front end’s damping has been stiffened with higher pre load. The rear end too gets a harder set up to make for more sharper handling.

To order a free flow tuned exhaust for the Honda CBR250R, you can get in touch with the folks at RaceConcepts on joel(at)raceconcepts.in or call them on +91 90607 22389. For the head job, you need to head to the RaceConcepts workshop in Bangalore.


I check out his site but it is not updated there but there was a post on FB from raceconcepts official page claiming the CBR will put WELL OVER 25 HORSES.. So guys you going for this..??

Theoretically the CBR should be able to do that.

I might be interested IF the exhaust stays as quiet as stock (or near it) and I do not need to fill premium petrol. That's a big ask, though.

Well was expecting you doc but then again had my doubts whether you would be interested or no..
And it says tuned FFE.. we know that usually FFE's are NOT quiet.. which i am guessing will mean a no-no for you.. and i doubt it will need premium petrol...

Not against modifications...but I think the hunger for power is endless. People will mod their 150s to run like 180s, 180s to run like 220s, 220s to run like 250s etc etc.

The only thing that strikes me is the reliability and cost factor, which I assume turns out to be the same cost of a new powerful bike which does the job with less fuss.

Rahul Beta, its not the upfront cost am talking about. Am talking about the long recurring cost that comes along with modifications.

Still the recurring cost will not amount to one and a half lakh.. Although this is a very stupid case in other case with agree with you though.. i.e. going for a 180 over a 150 etc..

Rahul, it's not just monetary costs but time too. A modded bike may have a problem completely unrelated to the mods - but the mech, esp the out of town mech will always zero in onto the mod because he is too dense to troubleshoot properly. Only and only if you understand the mod inside out and can explain things to the mech will he be able to help.

I think Joel will do well to train mechs for at least the major metros.
