2027-CRF450RL-Light-narrow-frame-1193x736

Moto meets the streets

450cc Unicam® engine

The Unicam^® cylinder-head engine is a hybrid design based on our championship-winning CRF450R. It is lighter, has a lower center of gravity, and a higher compression ratio, all designed to improve the outright power and performance.

Moto meets the streets

Street-legal and off-road capable

Street-legal in all 50 states, this motorcycle has a catalytic converter and can be ridden off-road almost anywhere. You can ride it on public lands, roads, and state and national parks. Plus, you won't need to haul your bike to the trailhead.

Moto meets the streets

New styling

The graphics of the CRF450RL are inspired by our MX models. New for 2027, they feature bold, horizontal Honda and CRF logos, along with blue side panels and a rear fender, creating a tri-color look that embodies the Honda HRC racing identity. The smooth bodywork allows for easy movement, and the in-mold graphics ensure durability.

Moto meets the streets

Wide-ratio six-speed transmission

Similar to the 450X, the 450RL features a six-speed wide-ratio gearbox. This allows the low gear to be excellent in slow, tight situations and the high gear to be tall enough for highway riding to the next trailhead or gas stop.

Wherever the ride leads

View all Features

18-inch rear wheel

The 18-inch rear wheel provides an excellent range of tire options for both on- and off-road use.

Low center of gravity

The Unicam^® engine, compact in size, and Honda’s focus on center-of-mass engineering maintain a low center of gravity, resulting in a lighter-feeling bike that's easier to handle.

Electric fan

This bike is designed for all terrains and has an electric fan to cool the engine.

Skid plate

The factory skid plate is light yet offers the engine and lower-frame protection that serious riders demand on a machine like this.

Large fuel tank

Both lightweight and durable, the premium resin tank can hold up to 2.0 gallons of gas.

Factory handguards

Handguards come pre-installed from the factory, fully integrated, and color-matched to the bike. They attach to the control-lever pivots and are vented.

Fuel mileage meter

The fuel mileage meter displays current and average fuel mileage and consumption and can show measurements in miles or kilometers. It's located in the same digital display area as the speedometer.

Sidestand

A sidestand may seem like no big thing, but look at this. Tucked high and out of the way, this forged-alloy piece is another example of how this bike gets it right.

Electric start

An electric start system ensures easy starting in all conditions. The starter also drives the clutch side of the crankshaft, providing superior lubrication to its gears while producing a narrow engine with a short, strong crank.
