2025-CRF450RL-450cc Unicam engine-dt

450cc Unicam® engine

In the world of Dual Sports, usable power is king. That is why we fitted the CRF450RL with our Unicam® engine. It is lighter, has a lower center of gravity, and a higher compression ratio, all designed to improve the outright power and performance.

IRC GP tires

Finding a tire that is as good on-road as off-road is not easy. We searched long and hard before fitting the CRF450RL with IRC GP rubber. The tires are designed to provide excellent traction while featuring a long life span.

2025-CRF450RL-Streel-legal and off-road capable-dt

Streel-legal and off-road capable

It’s all in the name – Dual Sport. The CRF450RL is street-legal in all 50 states and has a catalytic converter, yet it is capable enough off-road to tackle some of the toughest terrain you can imagine.

450cc Unicam® engine

Mastery in motion

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.

Mastery in motion

Streel-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.

Mastery in motion

Electric start

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

Mastery in motion

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.

Explore the extremes

18-inch rear wheel

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

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 bike that's easier to handle.

Electric fan

Electric fan

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

Skid plate

Skid plate

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

Titanium fuel tank

Titanium fuel tank

The premium titanium tank can hold up to 2.0 gallons of liquid. It is both lightweight and durable.

Factory handguards

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

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

Sidestand

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