2024 Honda® CRF450RX

2024 Honda® CRF450RX

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. Ditching the cable improves consistency, control and feel at the lever. The clutch capacity is generous, along with an extra plate and spring to maximize power transfer and durability.

• Electric Start

Kickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers were able to make a light bike even lighter. 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.

• Strong Frame Minimizes Fatigue

The CRF450RX 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 CRF450RX 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.

• High-Capacity Resin Fuel Tank

For longer cross-country loops, the CRF450RX features a fuel tank that holds a full 8 litres.

• Hand Guards

When the going gets extra tough, you’ll appreciate the hand guards on to the CRF450RX.

• 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 CRF450RX’s filter has no rubber gasket where it interfaces with the intake boot, cleaning and servicing the filter is faster and less messy.
