450cc Unicam® engine

Honda's Unicam® cylinder head combines single- and double-overhead-cam designs for a compact, lightweight engine with a narrow valve angle. This enhances combustion efficiency, compression ratio, and overall performance.

Downdraft fuel injection

A downdraft intake tract and fuel injector body help increase both power and fuel-metering precision.

Double-spray injector settings

An advanced fuel-injection system sprays twice per intake cycle, delivering optimal fuel atomization for explosive midrange power and impressive overrev performance.

Single-muffler exhaust

The new and improved muffler features a reinforced outer shell and revamped inner pipe construction, all while maintaining its original weight for a perfect balance of strength and performance.

Titanium intake valves

Lightweight titanium intake valves reduce reciprocating mass and permit the use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height.

Compression ratio

A refined squish area helps boost compression to an impressive 13.5:1, improving combustion efficiency for more power.

Central-port cylinder head

The new cylinder head design, highlighted by a centralized oval-shaped exhaust port and paired with the single-muffler exhaust, boosts power above 5000 rpm while optimizing exhaust efficiency.

Aluminum frame

The aluminum twin-spar frame lowers the rear shock, improving the airbox area and lowering the center of gravity. This allows for more holeshots while also enhancing steering and traction.

Showa spring fork

The 49mm Showa fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase the front suspension's precision and feel, while the revised spring rate provides better bottoming resistance and improved handling.

Low-mount battery box

Putting the batter box low in the chassis helps lower the overall center of gravity, which is always a benefit for responsive handling.

Swingarm

The swingarm uses a special fabrication technique that lets us fine-tune the flex to work with the chassis and give you better rear traction and cornering precision.

Dialed-in suspension settings

Special suspension settings are designed to work with its chassis and engine. You’ll experience excellent overall performance and superior front/rear balance.

260mm front brake

The front brake disc measures 260mm and provides a great feel. The bike also includes front and rear brake-disc guards.

Special rear brake pads

Brakes do more than just stop; they aid in bike setup for turns and jumps. Long-lasting pads offer superior stopping power, a win-win for riders.

Dunlop MX33 tires

Developed using Dunlop’s “block-on-block” design technology, the MX33 tires give excellent feedback and perfectly complement the frame and suspension.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Easily control your bike's torque with the handlebar button, activating Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and allowing you to adjust settings based on available traction.

Engine mode select button

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in the engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. You can choose between Standard, Smooth, or Aggressive depending on track conditions.

HRC launch control

Maximize your bike's power with this specially programmed ECU. Choose the mode, open the throttle, release the clutch, and let HRC launch control do the rest. Get ahead of the competition every time.

Titanium fuel tank

This bike has a lighter, stronger, and thinner titanium fuel tank that maintains the same capacity as our previous plastic unit. It also frees up space and centralizes fuel mass.

Skid plate

A factory skid plate is light and offers the engine and lower-frame protection that the racer demands.

Black rims

Boost your style with sleek black DID DirtStar rims. These lightweight, strong rims undeniably elevate the bike's aesthetics to new levels of cool.

"In-mold" graphics

With all the time you’ll be spending in the victory circle, you'll need to look your best. Our “in-mold” graphics look great and stay that way after repeated use.

Flat seat/tank junction

A flat seat/tank junction is part of the superior ergonomics that make moving forward and back on the bike easier, increasing your control.

Renthal "Fatbar"

The aluminum Renthal Fatbar boasts a superior bend that surpasses even the legendary Honda "CR" bar, ensuring a ride you'll absolutely adore.

Electric starter

No kickstart is needed. Our engineers eliminated it, shedding weight and enhancing performance. Combined with the lithium-ion batteries, the bike achieves perfect balance.
