When it comes to winning, Honda’s CRFs are the machines championships are made of. And after your first ride, you’ll know why. The CRF450R’s engine makes tremendous, instant power, thanks to Honda’s exclusive Unicam® design. And its chassis is an active part of the handling equation, backed up with premium Showa suspension at both ends. But what the spec charts can’t show is the level of refinement that only Honda brings to the class, all with the goal of letting you rail through the corners, flatten out the whoops, ace the rhythm sections and do it lap after lap with incredible precision.
New single exhaust maximises power and improves handling.
Revised mapping for riding modes in Standard, Smooth and Aggressive options, selectable via a separate handlebar-mounted switch, enables simple tuning depending on rider preference or course conditions.
Great handling starts with a superior frame. We've made some big changes to our 2021 CRF450R's chassis for improved balance and overall handling.
Shift sensor allows a dedicated ignition map for each gear, enabling optimum running.
All-new Honda Selectable Torque Control with three levels of intervention. HSTC monitors rpm spikes and responds by temporarily reducing torque to aid rear traction.
Out with the old cable-actuated clutch, and in with the first hydraulically actuated clutch we've offered outside of our works bikes. Made by Nissin, it's the same design as in our Grand Prix MX machines, and performs better than third-party conversions.
Revised airbox and filter, the airbox shape helps deliver more torque.
