The first 'from the ground up' redesign of the CRF450R for eight years packs an HRC-inspired power-up engine with an 11% top-end power boost, and stronger torque right through the rev range. It also gets an all-new seventh generation aluminium frame with new chassis geometry, lower centre of gravity and 'factory' race kit-specification 49mm Showa steel spring front fork. A titanium fuel tank, smooth, aerodynamically-efficient plastics and the option of electric start complete the all-new package.

Honda now has a race-ready enduro machine: the CRF450RX is based on the all-new 17YM CRF450R and features enduro-spec suspension, PGM-FI and EMSB mapping plus larger fuel tank, 18in rear wheel, sidestand and electric start as standard.
