Description

PUTTING THE ‘X’ IN CROSS-COUNTRY

 

When you discover the Honda CRF450X, you’ve found the deceivingly similar-looking cousin to the CRF450R motocrosser, but specifically designed for off-road and cross-country competitions like the renowned Baja 1000 and WORCs racing series. While sharing the impressive Unicam® engine architecture with the "R" model, the CRF450X takes it up a notch with a wide-ratio six-speed transmission, off-road-tailored chassis, and a host of specialized features. Picture an 18-inch rear wheel for improved tire choice, standard sidestand and hand guards, unique ECU and fuel-injection settings, larger fuel tank, durable skid plate, and more. No matter where your off-road adventures take you, the CRF450X guarantees the ultimate off-road experience, unleashing power and conquering trails like no other. And to top it all off, it’s California Green-Sticker compliant!

If you’re serious about getting on the podium, you know your best chance is when you Ride Red. And this year, we’re giving you even more incentive through our Honda Red Rider Rewards Program. You win twice—once on the track, and again at the bank! Check out our Red Rider Rewards Program to learn more.

Features

Engineering

  • WIDE-RATIO SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION Having six speeds in the CRF450X’s transmission compared to an MX bike’s typical five gives you more choice, and makes this versatile bike even more versatile. You have a gear for everything from east-coast rock crawling to wide-open Baja blasts.
  • TUNED-WEIGHT CRANK The CRF450X gets a special crankshaft, different from our CRF450R MX bikes and our CRF450RL dual-sport. This is because the crank’s weight and inertial character make a huge difference in how a bike delivers power. A crank is expensive, but it’s no place to scrimp and try to save—with the CRF450X, power delivery is just what you want.
  • TITANIUM FUEL TANK Holding 2.0 gallons, the CRF450X’s premium titanium tank is light and tough.
  • LIGHTING PACKAGE Your CRF450X comes equipped with a complete lighting package (headlight and taillight) for riding at dusk.
  • LITHIUM-ION BATTERY Light, compact, and offering excellent performance—just like the CRF450X itself! Conventional batteries are heavy, but not this premium piece. It’s all part of why your new CRF450X performs as well as it does.
  • DUAL RADIATORS The CRF450X’s dual radiators feature a refined core area for superior heat dissipation compared with conventional dual-radiator designs. A coolant recovery tank is located in front of the engine between the frame downtubes for improved center of gravity, and the tank is protected by a plastic skid plate.
  • SKID PLATE The CRF450X’s factory skid plate is light, yet also offers the engine and lower-frame protection serious riders demand on a machine like this.

Convenience

  • ELECTRIC START An electric start system ensures trouble-free starting in all conditions. The electric starter also drives the clutch side of the crankshaft, which provides superior lubrication to starter gears while allowing a narrow engine with a short, strong crank.

Performance

  • 450cc UNICAM® ENGINE Our Honda Unicam® cylinder heads combine the best of single- and double-overhead-cam designs. The configuration contributes to a compact engine that saves weight over a comparable dual-overhead-camshaft motor and also permits a narrow included valve angle. This flattens the combustion chamber to facilitate ignition flame propagation, allowing a high compression ratio. Since less space is taken up in the cylinder head, the camshaft sits lower in the head for a more compact engine and a lower center of gravity.
  • TITANIUM INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES Lightweight titanium intake and exhaust valves permit use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height.
  • FUEL INJECTION The CRF450X features our proven fuel-injection system. It’s part of the reason the CRF450X offers such excellent torque and spot-on metering and response, especially in the critical low-rpm range. It also automatically compensates for elevation and weather changes.
  • CALIFORNIA GREEN-STICKER COMPLIANT For California riders, the CRF450X offers a huge advantage: since it’s Green-Sticker compliant, you can ride it off-road year-round in any open OHV area.

Handling

  • TWIN-SPAR CHASSIS The CRF450X uses a twin-spar aluminum chassis that takes advantage of all the lessons we’ve learned on the MX track and from winning countless Bajas. The frame is both light and stiff, and provides the basis for the CRF450X’s excellent handling. The chassis is also wider than the standard MX frame to accommodate the six-speed transmission.
  • LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY The compact Unicam® engine and our famous concentration on center-of-mass engineering help keep the CRF450X’s center of gravity low. That means the bike feels lighter, and it helps handling too.
  • WORKS-STYLE REAR BRAKE HRC works-type rear brake system uses a 240mm brake rotor to its integrated rear master-cylinder and fluid reservoir, a set-up that eliminates the separate reservoir and hose.
  • DUNLOP MX52 TIRES The CRF450X’s Dunlop MX52 tires give you good off-road traction in a wide variety of terrain and conditions. Tires are always a critical part of any on/off-road bike, and we’ve hooked you up with some great ones here.
  • WORKS-STYLE FRONT BRAKE Compact twin-piston front brake caliper, anodized-aluminum brake pistons and lightweight 260mm front disc offer great stopping power while minimizing unsprung weight for improved turning and handling.
  • 18-INCH REAR WHEEL The CRF450X’s 18-inch rear wheel gives you an excellent choice of off-road tires. Plus, the black DID rims look great too.

Comfort

  • FACTORY HANDGUARDS Exclusively designed for the off-road rider and manufactured to Honda standards, they help protect you from rocks, branches, thorns and brush. Plus, it gives your CRF450X that “finished” look, right from the start.
  • WORKS MX STYLING The “X” graphics may remind you of our MX bikes because they're derived from them—the smooth bodywork makes it easy to move around, and the in-mold graphics not only look cool but are durable, too.
  • SIDESTAND A sidestand may seem like no big thing, but take a look at the one the CRF450X uses. Tucked up high and out of the way, this forged alloy piece is just another example of how the CRF450X gets it right.
  • GEAR-DRIVEN COUNTERBALANCER The gear-driven counterbalancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump.
  • SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS Placing the rider’s legs at the narrowest part of the frame helps improve comfort and handling.
  • FUEL MILEAGE METER An important feature for planning gas stops and calculating your bike’s range under varying conditions, the Fuel Mileage Meter shows current fuel mileage and average fuel mileage as well as fuel consumption. Displays in either miles or kilometers, and applies to both the A and B tripmeters. The Fuel Mileage Meter is in the same digital instrument display as the speedometer, odometer, tripmeters and digital clock.
