CRF450R Features






































450cc Unicam® engine
The Unicam® cylinder head offers a compact, lightweight design with a narrow valve angle, which improves combustion chamber efficiency, increases compression ratio, and lowers the center of gravity.
Single-muffler exhaust
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.
Sealed airbox and filter
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.
Central-port cylinder head
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.
Titanium intake valves
Lightweight titanium intake valves reduce reciprocating mass and permit the use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height.
Fuel injection system
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.
13.5:1 compression ratio
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.
Double-spray injector settings
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.
Super light Yoshimura exhaust
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.
Light narrow frame
Experience faster cornering with the lightweight, superior chassis design, which maintains finely tuned lateral rigidity.
Showa spring fork
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.
Titanium oxide-coated Showa fork
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.
Rear suspension
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-kit rear suspension
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.
Narrow swingarm
Our swingarm design matches the lateral rigidity of the chassis for balanced frame stiffness. This allows for faster cornering and better feel.
Lightweight subframe
The subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generation’s part. We’ve simplified its construction too.
Tuned triple clamps
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.
Rear brake pads
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.
260mm front brake
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.
Black DID DirtStar LT-X rims
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.
Dunlop MX33 tires
MX racers prefer Dunlop tires for their superior performance in diverse conditions, improving cornering grip.
Hydraulic clutch
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.
Eight-plate clutch assembly
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.
Exclusive Hinson clutch basket
The Works Edition bikes feature a high-quality clutch basket made by Hinson and a stylish Hinson clutch cover for a truly refined look.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
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.
Titanium fuel tank
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.
One-piece radiator shrouds
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
Slim bodywork makes for more freedom on the bike, while reduced fasteners allow for easier off-bike maintenance.
Exclusive works edition
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.
Fresh styling
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.
HRC Throttle Jockey graphics
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.
