2025 Honda CRF450R Red Dominate the dirt Fifty 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: win! Features May Include: - 450cc Unicam® engine The 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 filter We've 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 head The 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 valves Lightweight titanium intake valves reduce reciprocating mass and permit the use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height. - Fuel injection system Meticulous 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 ratio The 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 settings The system sprays fuel twice per intake cycle for better atomization and increased power in the midrange and on overrev. You'll feel it during your first race. - Single-pipe exhaust The 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 low—and mid-rpm range. - Yoshimura exhaust The CRF450RWE’s 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. - New frame A superior frame is crucial for great handling. The chassis weighs 1.5 lbs less than the previous generation's 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 stem New 2025 triple clamps work with the updated frame, fork, axle, and steering stem for consistent suspension and improved rigidity, responsiveness, and turning. - Showa spring fork The 49mm Showa fork features a design that helps increase the front suspension's 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 suspension A specially optimized rear shock has been tailored to the frame, complemented by a lightweight steel spring that maintains exceptional performance. - Light narrow frame Experience faster cornering with the lightweight, superior chassis design, which maintains finely tuned lateral rigidity. - Narrow swingarm Our swingarm design matches the chassis' lateral rigidity for balanced frame stiffness. This allows for faster cornering and a better feel. - Lightweight subframe The subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generation’s part. We’ve simplified its construction too. - Rear brake pads Brakes 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 brake The 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 tires MX racers prefer Dunlop tires for superior performance in diverse conditions, improving cornering grip. - Hydraulic clutch Inspired by our Grand Prix MX machines, Honda's 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 assembly The 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 bike's 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 tank These bikes feature a lightweight titani
