CRF450R Features

The enhanced 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.

We've maximized torque output with a unique airbox shape and filter design. The filter is easily accessible and features a gasket-less design for quicker and easier cleaning and servicing.

With a centralized oval-shaped exhaust port and single-muffler exhaust, the new cylinder head design boosts power delivery from 5000 rpm onwards while optimizing exhaust efficiency.

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

Meticulous details like the 60-degree angled fuel injector put this bike ahead of the competition. It delivers a cooler and denser fuel charge, increasing power and torque.

The combustion-chamber shape has been refined to allow a 13.5:1 compression ratio for superior power and efficiency, with a generous squish area.

The system sprays fuel twice per intake cycle for better atomization and increased power in the midrange and on overrev. You'll feel it during your first race.

The CRF450RWE get a Yoshimura exhaust. It's made with a stainless steel header, titanium mid-pipe, and muffler designed for improved performance and ergonomics due to their compact placement.

Experience faster cornering with the lightweight, superior chassis design, which maintains finely tuned lateral rigidity.

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

The Works Edition's 49mm Showa fork goes further, with a Kashima-coated inner rod and titanium oxide-coated outer tubes for enhanced performance and durability.

A specially optimized rear shock has been tailored to the frame with revised settings, complemented by a lightweight steel spring that maintains exceptional performance.

A specially optimized rear shock has been tailored to the CRF450RWE's frame. It features revised A-kit tuning and valving and is complemented by a meticulously crafted lightweight steel spring that maintains exceptional performance.

Our swingarm design matches the lateral rigidity of the chassis for balanced frame stiffness. This allows for faster cornering and better feel.

The subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generation’s part. We’ve simplified its construction too.

The package is perfectly matched, with optimized lateral stiffness for the frame and swingarm, while the upper and lower triple clamps improve balance and responsiveness.

Brakes do more than stop the bike. They help set up turns and jumps. Our brake pads last longer and provide more stopping power to help you win.

The front brake disc measures 260mm, providing excellent brake feel and weight reduction. The brake disc guards are included on both the front and rear discs.

For the ultimate upgrade, the Works Edition comes with top-of-the-line premium DID DirtStar LT-X rims in black, ensuring the highest quality, performance, and style.

MX racers prefer Dunlop tires for their superior performance in diverse conditions, improving cornering grip.

Inspired by our Grand Prix MX machines, Honda's first hydraulically actuated dirt bike clutch offers a 10% lighter clutch lever pull. It eliminates the need for cable adjustments, delivering optimal performance on even the longest motos.

The eight-plate clutch design delivers 85% less slip at peak horsepower and 27% more torque transmission than a seven-plate clutch. Due to the hydraulic actuation and super-strong spring lockup, it maintains a light clutch-lever pull.

The Works Edition bikes feature a high-quality clutch basket made by Hinson and a stylish Hinson clutch cover for a truly refined look.

Easily control your bike's traction with the handlebar-mounted button, activating our Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system that offers three customizable settings to optimize your ride based on available traction conditions.

These bikes feature a lightweight titanium fuel tank that maintains the same capacity as its plastic predecessor while maximizing space and centralizing the fuel mass.

Our engineers used Computational Fluid Dynamics to fine-tune the radiator shrouds for increased cooling efficiency. The one-piece design ensures consistent power output and prevents overheating.

Slim bodywork makes for more freedom on the bike, while reduced fasteners allow for easier off-bike maintenance.

The ultimate racetrack weapon, the CRF450RWE Works Edition embodies the pinnacle of performance. Limited availability, this elite model features performance-focused upgrades for an unrivaled riding experience.

New graphics on our latest bike take styling cues from our HRC works bikes. Our "in mold" graphics are more durable, even after multiple track sessions and cleaning.

The CRF450RWE gets an exclusive Throttle Jockey graphics package inspired by our HRC works bikes, while the durable "in mold" graphics ensure long-lasting visual appeal even after intense track sessions and repeated cleaning.

The innovative seat design of the CRF450RWE relocates the attaching bolts and tongue for effortless removal and installation during service, while the exclusive Throttle Jockey seat cover adds a touch of style.

The Renthal Fatbar is made from aluminum and has a bend superior to the Honda “CR” bar, making it the new standard in excellence. You will love it!

Lightweight and strong, the black DID DirtStar rims also add a stylish touch.

Our engineers actually made the bike lighter by using an electric starter and lithium-ion battery.

We've made the controls easy to use with features like launch assist and selectable power modes so you can focus on winning.

Customize your engine's power delivery on the fly with the convenient handlebar-mounted button, allowing you to effortlessly switch between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive modes to suit varying track conditions.

Get a competitive edge with this bike's unique ECU program. Select the mode, open the throttle, and release the clutch to dominate from the start with its holeshot-seeking design.
