2024 Honda® CRF450R

Even more competitive than you are.Features may include:

• 450 cc Unicam Engine

Honda Unicam cylinder heads combine the best of single- and double-overhead-cam designs. The configuration contributes to a compact engine that saves weight over a comparable dual-overhead-camshaft motor and also permits a narrow included valve angle. This flattens the combustion chamber to facilitate ignition flame propagation, allowing a high compression ratio. Since less space is taken up in the cylinder head, the camshaft sits lower in the head for a more compact engine and a lower center of gravity.

• Hydraulic Clutch

Big power requires a strong clutch, and this bike delivers with a smooth-operating hydraulic clutch. The CRF450R ditches the cable for consistency, solid control and strong feel at the light lever. A generous clutch capacity maintains a focus on maximized power transfer and durability - without much slippage at peak power.

• Electric Start

Kickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. Our engineers have focused on creating a bike that is suprisingly lightweight. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are so light now and so good that putting them on a bike like this is a win/win combination. And winning is what a CRF450R-series bike is all about.

• Ride Fast, with Little Fatigue

The CRF450R is focused on being fast while minimizing rider fatigue. They achieved this through optimizing frame rigidity working seamlesly with the suspension to prioritize traction, stability and bump absorption.

• Single-pipe Exhaust

The CRF450R uses a single-pipe header. It routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution. The single muffler uses a pressed-alloy design that lets us shape the muffler body for better rider ergonomics and lighter weight.

• Titanium Fuel Tank

Grams and performance count, and to keep the weight down, the fuel tank is constructed of titanium. Light and strong, it’s also thin, which means a generous amount of space to assist in centralizing fuel mass.

• Sealed Airbox and Filter

Along with the special air filter, the airbox shape helps deliver more torque. You can access the airbox through the left number plate. And because the CRF450R’s filter has no rubber gasket where it interfaces with the intake boot, cleaning and servicing the filter is faster and less messy.
