CRF450R Features

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.

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. 

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 single-pipe header routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution. A new design for 2025 helps produce more controllable power in the low—and mid-rpm range. 

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. 

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

MX racers prefer Dunlop tires for 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.

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 gives the bike more freedom, while reduced fasteners allow for easier off-bike maintenance.

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.

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.

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 Renthal Fatbar, made from aluminum, 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 add a stylish touch, too.

Our engineers 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.
