New 2025 Honda CRF450R

2025 HONDA CRF 450RDominate the dirtFifty years ago, Honda revolutionized motocross with the CR250M Elsinore. Now, with five decades of race-winning experience under our belts, our latest CRF450R is here, featuring enhanced torque, a robust updated chassis, and improved suspension. Available in three trims, our big-bore CRF-R performance lineup is designed to do one thing: winPerformance450cc Unicam engineThe Unicam cylinder head offers a compact, lightweight design with a narrow valve angle, which improves combustion chamber efficiency, increases compression ratio, and lowers the center of gravity.Sealed airbox and filterWeve maximized torque output with a unique airbox shape and filter design. The filter is easily accessible and features a gasket-less design for quicker and easier cleaning and servicing.Central-port cylinder headThe 2025 model features an oval-shaped centralized exhaust port, which, along with the single-muffler exhaust, boosts power from 5000 rpm up and increases exhaust efficiency.Titanium intake valvesLightweight titanium intake valves reduce reciprocating mass and permit the use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height.Fuel injection systemMeticulous details like the 60-degree angled fuel injector put this bike ahead of the competition. It delivers a cooler and denser fuel charge, increasing power and torque.13.5:1 compression ratioThe combustion-chamber shape has been refined to allow a 13.5:1 compression ratio for superior power and efficiency, with a generous squish area.Double-spray injector settingsThe system sprays fuel twice per intake cycle for better atomization and increased power in the midrange and on overrev. Youll feel it during your first race.Single-pipe exhaustThe single-pipe header routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution. A new design for 2025 helps produce more controllable power in the lowand mid-rpm range.Yoshimura exhaustThe CRF450RWEs exhaust is another premium item. It uses a stainless header with a titanium mid-pipe and muffler made especially for us by Yoshimura. Super light and super trick, the exhaust tucks away for better ergonomics, too.HandlingNew frameA superior frame is crucial for great handling. The chassis weighs 1.5 lbs less than the previous generations due to the narrow main spars. Almost 70 percent of the frame components are new this year, resulting in excellent turning performance and better compatibility with the new suspension.New tripleclamps, axle, and steering stemNew 2025 triple clamps work with the updated frame, fork, axle, and steering stem for consistent suspension and improved rigidity, responsiveness, and turning.Showa spring forkThe 49mm Showa fork features a design that helps increase the front suspensions precision and feel, while the new springs, new seals, and new valving for 2025 improve the consistency of the stroke feel throughout the entire range of travel.Rear suspensionA specially optimized rear shock has been tailored to the frame, complemented by a lightweight steel spring that maintains exceptional performance.Light narrow frameExperience faster cornering with the lightweight, superior chassis design, which maintains finely tuned lateral rigidity.Narrow swingarmOur swingarm design matches the chassis lateral rigidity for balanced frame stiffness. This allows for faster cornering and a better feel.Lightweight subframeThe subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generations part. Weve simplified its construction too.Rear brake padsBrakes do more than stop the bike. They help set up turns and jumps. Our brake pads last longer and provide more stopping power to help you win.260mm front brakeThe front brake disc measures 260mm, providing excellent brake feel and weight reduction. The brake disc guards are included on both the front and rear discs.Dunlop MX33 tiresMX racers prefer Dunlop tires for superior performance in diverse conditions, improving cornering grip.EngineeringHydraulic clutchInspired by our Grand Prix MX machines, Hondas first hydraulically actuated dirt bike clutch offers a 10% lighter clutch lever pull. It eliminates the need for cable adjustments, delivering optimal performance on even the longest motos.Eight-plate clutch assemblyThe eight-plate clutch design delivers 85% less slip at peak horsepower and 27% more torque transmission than a seven-plate clutch. Due to the hydraulic actuation and super-strong spring lockup, it maintains a light clutch-lever pull.Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)Easily control your bikes traction with the handlebar-mounted button, activating our Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system that offers three customizable settings to optimize your ride based on available traction conditions.Titanium fuel tankThese bikes feature a lightweight titanium fuel tank that maintains the same capacity as its plastic predecessor while maximizing space and centralizing the fuel mass.One-piece radiator shroudsOur engineers used Computational Fluid Dynamics to fine-tune the radiator shrouds for increased cooling efficiency. The one-piece design ensures consistent power output and prevents overheating.StyleSlim bodyworkSlim bodywork gives the bike more freedom, while reduced fasteners allow for easier off-bike maintenance.Exclusive works editionThe CRF450RWE Works Edition includes all CRF450R features and more. It has a hand-ported cylinder head, Hinson clutch basket, Twin Air filter, Throttle Jockey graphics, upgraded DID DirtStar LT-X rims, an exclusive Yoshimura exhaust system, Kashima and titanium oxide-coated lower fork legs, revalved suspension, an RK gold chain, special ECU settings, and black triple clamps.Fresh stylingThe 2025 bikes get new stacked CRF graphics that take their styling cues right from our HRC works bikes. Plus, our in mold graphics are more durable, keeping them looking good, especially after repeated track sessions and cleaning.HRC Throttle Jockey graphicsThe CRF450RWE gets an exclusive Throttle Jockey graphics package inspired by our HRC works bikes, while the durable in mold graphics ensure long-lasting visual appeal even after intense track sessions and repeated cleaning.Renthal FatbarThe Renthal Fatbar, made from aluminum, has a bend superior to the Honda CR bar, making it the new standard in excellence. You will love it!Black rimsLightweight and strong, the black DID DirtStar rims add a stylish touch, too.Comfort and ConvenienceElectric starterOur engineers made the bike lighter by using an electric starter and lithium-ion battery.Switch assemblyWeve made the controls easy to use with features like launch assist and selectable power modes so you can focus on winning.TechnologyEngine mode selection buttonCustomize your engines power delivery on the fly with the convenient handlebar-mounted button, allowing you to effortlessly switch between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive modes to suit varying track conditions.HRC launch controlGet a competitive edge with this bikes unique ECU program.
