Our CRF450R changed the game back in 2002. It jumped out of the gate and has led the pack ever since, thanks to constant development from HRC and input from the world’s best MX riders. We’ve taken the CRF450R’s incredibly fast championship winning formula, its lightweight agility and turning ability and added even more to the mix. The chassis and suspension are totally redesigned, for laser guided cornering stability over rough terrain. The engine builds extra punch onto its monster low-rpm performance, with precise throttle control. Want to ride an advantage? You’re looking at it.

• Redesigned Frame - Superior handling starts with an exceptional frame. The updated chassis features optimised rigidity and reduces weight, while enhancing responsiveness and stability.
• Suspension - The new frame design on the CRF450R leaves room for a specialised rear shock. The shock’s valving resets fast for better response and handling on any terrain.
• Triple Clamps - New top and bottom triple clamps work with the new frame, revised fork, new front axle and new steering stem for a more consistent suspension feel throughout the stroke.
• Front Brake Caliper - The updated piston and seals provide reliable braking performance for precision and control throughout every ride. Now complete with new machined accents.

Redesigned Frame - Superior handling starts with an exceptional frame, and the CRF450R delivers. The updated chassis features optimised rigidity and reduces weight, while enhancing responsiveness and stability. Feel the difference in comfort and performance as you take on the track in front of you.

Showa® Fork - The 49mm Showa® fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase front-suspension precision, handling and feel. New springs, seals and valving improve the consistency of the stroke feel throughout the entire range of travel, delivering a smoother and more controlled ride.

New Triple Clamps - New top and bottom triple clamps work with the new frame, revised fork, new front axle and new steering stem for a more consistent suspension feel throughout the stroke. Together, the new hardware helps improve the responsiveness, rigidity and turning performance of the new line. The road to perfect balance starts here.

Subframe Relocated - The new mounting point optimises lateral rigidity and reduces energy transmission from the rear of the bike to the front. Rear-shock removal time has been reduced by eliminating the need to detach the subframe to access the shock.

Rear Suspension Linkage - The new frame design on the CRF450R leaves room for a specialised rear shock. The shock’s valving resets fast for better response and handling on any terrain. It even features a special steel spring that cuts weight without cutting performance, so you can own the track-lap after lap.

Front Brake Caliper - The CRF450R’s front brake caliper features an updated piston and seal for consistent braking performance throughout every ride. New machined accents add a premium finish that blends with the bike's sleek lines to keep your CRF looking as good as it performs.

Redesigned Airbox - The new shape provides a straighter pathway for airflow to deliver more torque and better throttle control. The CRF450R’s air filter features a spring-loaded clip design and optimised rubber gasket for easy cleaning and improved serviceability.
