450cc Unicam® engine

Engineered for excellence

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.

Engineered for excellence

Light narrow frame

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

Engineered for excellence

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.

Engineered for excellence

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.

Exclusive works edition

Exclusive works edition

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

Fresh styling

Fresh styling

The 2025 bikes get new “stacked” CRF graphics that take their styling cues right from our HRC works bikes. Plus, our “in mold” graphics are more durable, keeping them looking good, especially after repeated track sessions and cleaning.

HRC Throttle Jockey graphics

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.

New frame

New frame

A superior frame is crucial for great handling. The chassis weighs 1.5 lbs less than the previous generation's due to the narrow main spars. Almost 70 percent of the frame components are new this year, resulting in excellent turning performance and better compatibility with the new suspension.

New tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

New tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

New 2025 triple clamps work with the updated frame, fork, axle, and steering stem for consistent suspension and improved rigidity, responsiveness, and turning.

Showa spring fork

Showa spring fork

The 49mm Showa fork features a design that helps increase the front suspension's precision and feel, while the new springs, new seals, and new valving for 2025 improve the consistency of the stroke feel throughout the entire range of travel.

Yoshimura exhaust

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. 

Central-port cylinder head

Central-port cylinder head

The 2025 model features an oval-shaped centralized exhaust port, which, along with the single-muffler exhaust, boosts power from 5000 rpm up and increases exhaust efficiency.
