Five decades of being the best
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.
Responsive frame
A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.
Hydraulic clutch
Inspired by our Grand Prix MX machines, the hydraulically actuated clutch offers a 10% lighter clutch lever pull compared to a cable equivalent. It also eliminates the need for adjustments, delivering optimal performance for even the longest motos.
Engine mode selection button
Customize your engine's power delivery on the fly with the convenient left-side handlebar-mounted blue button, allowing you to easily switch between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive modes to suit varying track conditions or rider preference.
Performance you can feel
Single-pipe exhaust
The single-pipe header routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution. It also produces more controllable power in the low- and mid-rpm range than the previous generation.
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.
Tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem
Compared to the previous generation, we revised the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for improved chassis rigidity and responsiveness to give the bike better cornering feel.
Showa® spring fork
A 49mm Showa® fork with a conventional spring, 39mm piston diameter, and 25mm rod diameter is designed to have a supple feel that still resists bottoming under heavy loads like big jumps, bumps, or ruts.
Rear suspension
A specially optimized rear shock has been tailored to the frame, complemented by a lightweight steel spring that maintains exceptional performance.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
Easily control your bike's traction with the left-side handlebar-mounted green button, activating our Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system. It offers three customizable settings to optimize your ride based on conditions or preference.
Stacked CRF logo
Like our factory racebikes, our CRF competition lineup features the vertically stacked CRF logos that look fast even sitting still.
Black rims
The DID DirtStar rims are lightweight and strong, while the black color looks good and is easy to clean.
Superior frame rigidity
Great handling starts with a superior frame. First, it’s light. By making the frame’s main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly we make the chassis more responsive by fine-tuning the lateral rigidity. The result is a bike that gets into, around, and out of corners faster.
