LIGHTER. FASTER AND RAZOR SHARP.
Powerful 449cc Unicam Engine
The oval-shaped centralised exhaust port on the CRF450R cylinder head is its most notable feature. It increases power from 5000rpm and increases exhaust efficiency when combined with the single-muffler exhaust.
Electric Starter
Kickstarting? Perhaps if you're in the vintage class, but not here. Our engineers can make the CRF450R lighter by eliminating the kickstarter entirely. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are now so small and powerful that putting them on a bike like this is a no-brainer. And the CRF450R is all about winning.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
Have you noticed the button on the handlebar near the clutch perch? Honda Selectable Torque Control is available on the CRF450R. (HSTC). Depending on how much traction is available, you can dial in your bike using one of three settings.
Downdraft Fuel Injection
The CRF450R has a downdraft intake tract and a FI body to improve power and fuel-metering precision. It's one of the reasons the CRF450R has such explosive power and massive torque, especially out of the gate and in the crucial first 30 metres to the first turn.
Hydraulic Clutch
We provided outside our working bikes with the old wired clutch and the first hydraulically driven clutch. The architecture is the same as in the Grand Prix MX machines produced with Nissin and does better than conversions from third parties.
HRC Launch Control
We're talking about a special ECU programme here: push the mode button, hold the throttle open, and let go of the clutch, and the CRF450R will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a significant advantage. It transforms your bike into a holeshot machine!
Engine Mode Select Button
With a push of your thumb, this simple handlebar-mounted button allows you to dial in the engine power delivery character. Depending on the track conditions, select Standard, Smooth, or Aggressive. Launch assist, selectable power modes, and other features are now available.
Brakes
Brakes are used for more than just stopping; they also aid in the setup of the bike in turns and jumps. That is why we pay such close attention to details such as brake pads. They're built to last longer and provide more stopping power—a true win-win situation that will help you win.
Front Suspension
We increased the stroke of the front suspension by 5mm to improve handling and rider comfort. We also redesigned the axle holding fixtures at the bottom of each fork leg, which increases rigidity and improves steering precision and suspension performance.
Showa Spring Fork
The Showa fork's 49mm diameter and conventional spring design contribute to the CRF450R's front-suspension precision, handling, and feel. The spring rate provides improved bottoming resistance and handling.
Light Swingarm
The narrow swingarm, designed in tandem with the frame, employs narrow main members to match the swingarm's lateral rigidity to the rest of the chassis. The titanium fuel tank is also light and strong, freeing up more space and aiding in the centralisation of fuel mass.
Battery Box
The battery box is low to the ground, which improves the centre of gravity. Second, it is simple to maintain. Third, it's watertight, so there's no need to be concerned when racing in wet conditions.
Rear Suspension
The rear shock on the CRF450R is tuned to match the frame, and the settings work in tandem with the frame. For improved response, the shock's valving resets faster. Furthermore, steel springs are very light, reducing weight without reducing performance.
Triple Clamps
The CRF450R is a well-balanced package. The upper and lower triple clamps are designed to match the lateral stiffness of the frame and swingarm, as well as the axle fixture of the fork legs. They work together to improve and balance total rigidity, responsiveness, and turning performance.
Single-muffler Exhaust
The muffler is made of pressed alloy, which is lighter and provides better rider ergonomics. The closer routeing to the centre of the bike also makes it lighter and aids in weight distribution. The air filter and airbox shape contribute to increased torque. The airbox is accessible via the left number plate.
