2026 CRF450RL
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.
Street-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.
Built for both worlds
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.
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.
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.
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.
Endless possibilities
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
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 it also offers the kind of engine and lower-frame protection that serious riders demand on a machine like this.
Large fuel tank
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 up 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 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.
