UNBEATABLE
Every. Single. Moto. Every. Single. Race. That’s the winning record our CRF450R racked up in Pro Motocross last year. And that was in addition to the 450 Supercross championship, and the first ever SuperMotocross 450 championship. But here’s the best news yet: our new 2025 CRF450R is based directly on input and refinements from last year’s winning racebike. These include new bodywork and factory CRF graphics, a new frame specially tuned for rigidity, new suspension components specially designed for a more consistent feel throughout the suspension stroke, new tripleclamps, new suspension linkage, and a new more linear front brake with less lever play. No matter how challenging the track, the CRF450R is ready to make a pass or keep you in front, even on the last lap of the second moto.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
NEW FRAME
The CRF450R chassis is over a pound and a half lighter than the previous generation’s. This year approximately 70 percent of the frame components are new for excellent, responsive turning performance and to work with the new suspension.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
With the CRF450R’s hydraulically actuated clutch, you get a clutch-lever pull that’s ten percent lighter at its peak, and more consistent throughout an entire moto. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about making a cable adjustment, even during the longest events.
NEW AIRBOX AND FILTER
Refinements in both the airbox and air filter improve throttle control and feel. You access the airbox through the left number plate, and because there’s no rubber
gasket at the intake boot, cleaning and servicing the
flter is faster and less messy than ever

Motocross continues to evolve with new techniques and riding styles that enable riders to push the sport to new heights. Matching that evolution, the 2025 CRF450R makes important strides in handling characteristics, power delivery and suspension performance that allow riders to perform at their best, even when the track is at its worst. Several years in the making, this new model integrates input from factory HRC riders like Jett and Hunter Lawrence and five-time MXGP world champion Tim Gajser, as well as professional test riders. Many of its features have been developed and used in competition, during Jett Lawrence's perfect 2023 Pro Motocross season, his 2023 450 SuperMotocross championship, and his 2024 450 Supercross title. But this bike isn't just for the pros; Honda's engineers also considered feedback from customers and leading motocross media to deliver the most comprehensive package of performance and rideability to date.
