Lighter. Much lighter. With a new HRC-honed chassis balance and suspension that deliver faster corner speeds to build quicker lap times lap, after lap. And an engine that drives you from nowhere to the red zone, with total control in your right hand.

We’ve taken the CRF450R and upped the game. That’s what winning an MXGP world championship is all about. A completely new frame saves weight and features a factory-rider rigidity balance, with revised steering geometry and suspension that shred turns. The engine features a redesigned intake, cylinder head and exhaust system that deliver stronger mid-range power and low-rpm torque, with smooth throttle response. A revised decompression system and new hydraulic clutch add relentless tenacity. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) offers 3 modes of power management for ultimate rear wheel traction, while HRC Launch Control owns the first 100 metres. And its new bodywork is slimmer, lighter and easier to move around. Seizing the holeshot and building your lead has never been easier. Neither has the win.
