Husqvarna motorcycles is proud to announce that the 401 vitpilen concept has gained top honours in two of the most prestigious design competitions globally.
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.
