New styling

The graphics of the X-model bikes are inspired by our MX models. For 2027, we have introduced bold, horizontal Honda and CRF logos, along with blue side panels and a rear fender for a unified HRC racing look. The smooth bodywork allows for easy movement, and the in-mold graphics ensure durability.

Wide-ratio six-speed transmission

Having six speeds in the transmission, as opposed to a typical five on an MX bike, provides more versatility. This bike can handle everything from east-coast rock crawling to wide-open Baja blasts.

450cc Unicam® engine

Honda's Unicam® design creates a compact engine that saves weight. The included valve angle flattens the combustion chamber for easier ignition while the camshaft sits lower, making it more compact and lowering the center of gravity.

18-inch rear wheel

The 18-inch rear wheel provides a great selection of off-road tires, and the black DID rims add to the aesthetic appeal.

Fuel injection

Fuel injection

Our proven fuel injection system provides excellent torque, spot-on metering, and response, especially in the critical low-rpm range. Additionally, it automatically compensates for changes in elevation and weather.

Dunlop MX52 tires

Dunlop MX52 tires

Dunlop’s MX52 tires provide excellent traction across various terrains and conditions, making them ideal for on- and off-road bikes.

Low center of gravity

Low center of gravity

The Unicam® engine's compact design and our center-of-mass engineering reduce the bike's weight and improve handling.

Works-style front brake

Works-style front brake

Increased stopping power and improved handling are thanks to the compact twin-piston front brake caliper, anodized aluminum brake pistons, and a lightweight 260mm front disc that minimizes unsprung weight.

Oversized fuel tank

Oversized fuel tank

We gave the X model a larger, 2.0-gallon resin fuel tank. This will allow for fewer fuel stops, which can save valuable time over the course of a long ride or race.

Skid plate

Skid plate

The factory skid plate is light yet offers the engine and lower-frame protection that serious riders demand on a machine like this.

Superior ergonomics

Superior ergonomics

Placing the rider’s legs at the narrowest part of the frame helps improve comfort and handling.

Sidestand

Sidestand

A sidestand may seem insignificant, but this forged alloy piece is an exceptional example of this bike's attention to detail.

Lighting package
