Honda CRF450RX

Built to Dominate Off-Road

When the motocross track ends and the terrain gets tougher, the Honda CRF450RX is ready to keep pushing.

Built on the same race-developed platform as the CRF450R, the CRF450RX takes Honda's 450cc competition performance and adapts it specifically for enduro, cross-country and serious off-road riding.

For 2027, the CRF450RX receives major updates including a redesigned engine and frame, reduced weight and revised suspension, delivering more power, improved handling and the control needed to attack demanding off-road terrain.

Redesigned 450cc Unicam Engine

At the heart of the CRF450RX is Honda's redesigned 450cc liquid-cooled Unicam four-stroke engine.

The new engine delivers a 10.3% increase in peak horsepower and 3.7% more peak torque compared with the previous model, while also being narrower and lighter.

Power and torque delivery have been tuned with real-world riding in mind, giving the CRF450RX the strong, usable performance needed when traction and terrain are constantly changing.

Honda Selectable Torque Control

Loose dirt, mud, roots and changing surfaces all demand different levels of traction.

Honda's Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) gives riders three settings to choose from, allowing the bike's power delivery to be better matched to the available grip.

Combined with selectable engine modes, riders can fine-tune the CRF450RX to suit the terrain, conditions and their riding style.

Three Selectable Engine Modes

A convenient handlebar-mounted Engine Mode Selection Button lets you choose between three different power characteristics:

Standard – balanced performance for general riding.

Smooth – softer power delivery when conditions are slippery or technical.

Aggressive – sharper response when you want maximum performance.

It's another level of adjustability that allows the CRF450RX to adapt as quickly as the terrain changes.

Showa Suspension Tuned for Off-Road

The CRF450RX features premium Showa suspension specifically set up for off-road riding.

A 49mm USD Showa fork handles the front, while the Pro-Link rear suspension uses a 50mm Showa monoshock.

For 2027, the rear shock features a lighter body and improved responsiveness, providing better damping feel at lower speeds and more consistent performance throughout the suspension stroke.

18-Inch Rear Wheel

Unlike the motocross-focused CRF450R, the CRF450RX runs an 18-inch rear wheel, making it better suited to enduro and cross-country terrain.

The setup gives riders the tyre profile and compliance needed when tackling rocks, roots, ruts and other challenging off-road conditions.

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch provides smooth, consistent operation and excellent feel – particularly valuable during long rides and technical sections where precise clutch control can make all the difference.

Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission and chain final drive.

Large Titanium Fuel Tank

Every gram matters on a competition off-road bike.

Honda equips the CRF450RX with a lightweight 7.1-litre titanium fuel tank, providing the strength required for demanding riding while helping keep weight down and centralise the bike's mass.

Powerful Braking Performance

A large 260mm front disc brake delivers strong, controlled braking performance.

The front caliper is designed to reduce lever fade, while a factory-fitted front brake disc guard adds protection when riding through rough terrain.

A 240mm rear disc completes the braking package.

Factory Handguards

Integrated factory handguards come standard on the CRF450RX.

Mounted directly to the control lever pivots, they help protect the rider's hands and controls from branches, debris and other hazards encountered on tight off-road trails.

Designed Around the Rider

Honda has paid close attention to the details that matter when you're riding hard.

A new sealed airbox provides easy access to the air cleaner simply by removing the side cover, while the revised air filter shape and density reduce airflow resistance by approximately 10%.

One-piece radiator shrouds have also been developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics to improve cooling efficiency and help maintain consistent performance in demanding conditions.

The Renthal aluminium Fatbar features a bend specifically selected for off-road riding, completing a rider-focused cockpit built for serious competition.
