17 AMA 250 Pro Motocross Championships

Pro-grade performance

Exclusive works edition

The CRF450RWE Works Edition includes all CRF450R features and more. It has a hand-ported red cylinder head, Hinson clutch basket and cover, Twin Air filter, gripper seat cover, DID DirtStar LT-X rims, Yoshimura exhaust system, Kashima-coated lower fork legs, revalved suspension, an RK gold chain, special ECU settings, and black triple clamps.

Pro-grade performance

Yoshimura exhaust

The CRF450RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. It uses a stainless header with a titanium mid-pipe and muffler made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick—the exhaust tucks away for better ergonomics, too. 

Pro-grade performance

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.

Pro-grade performance

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.

Factory-level finish

View all Features

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.

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.

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.

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.
