5-SPEED TRANSMISSION

The gear ratios of the KLX450R have been selected to specifically suit off-road riding. The engine is tuned to provide a wide range of power to optimize gear ratios. The gear sets and center cases are very compact, allowing the frame to be narrower at the rider's ankles.

FRONT SUSPENSION

The KX450F inverted Kayaba AOS (Air-Oil-Separate) fork offers superb damping and steering precision. Oil and air are stored in separate chambers for stable damping performance.

DISC BRAKES

Petal brake disks at the front and rear reduce the unwrapped weight and help clean the brake pads for more efficient braking. The forged aluminium rear brake pedal has a heavy-duty mounting bolt and a large “foot” with sharp teeth to provide a solid feel. The integrated rear brake fluid reservoir ensures increased reliability.
