New for 2020 Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC):
The 2020 CRF450R now features Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), designed to improve the stability and traction while maintaining throttle position. With 3 settings to chose from you can have your bike dialed, no

Total Air Management
By lowering the battery box position by 28 mm, not only has it lowered the centre of gravity but also allowed for a 9% increase in the size of the air filter. This allows for more responsive handling overall and improved airflow from intake to exhaust.

Improved Stability
The CRF450R features the Honda Selectable Torque Control that is designed to improve stability and traction while maintaining throttle position. Just another feature that makes your ride smoother and more controlled.

Total Air Management
By lowering the battery box position by 28.5 mm, the air filter size has been increased by 9% for improved air flow and total air management, efficiently managing the air flow through the intake, the head, and out the exhaust.

HRC Launch Control
We’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the CRF450R will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

Lighter Overall Weight
The CRF450R is surprisingly light. Why? Mostly from eliminating the kickstart option, but weight is weight, and on a racebike less of it is almost always better.

Electric Start
Kickstarting your bike is so 2016. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers can make the CRF450R lighter. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries

260 mm Front Brake
The CRF450R’s large front-brake disc measures a whopping 260 mm. The rear brakes have also been updated to improve overall braking performance. Now you get

Titanium Fuel Tank
Grams and performance count, and the CRF450R uses a titanium fuel tank. Light and strong, it’s also thinner than our previous plastic unit, while maintaining the

450 cc Unicam Engine
Honda’s Unicam cylinder heads combine the best of single and double-overhead-cam designs. The configuration contributes to a compact engine that saves weight

Longer Head Pipes
Lengthening the CRF450R’s headpipes help give you better throttle response and top-end pull.

Cylinder Head Layout
The CRF450R uses our latest finger-follower rocker design. The Unicam cylinder head remains one of the most efficient in the MX world, giving you the design and performance of a double-overhead-cam layout but the compactness of a single-overhead-cam design.

Skid Plate
A factory skid plate is light and offers the engine and lower-frame protection that a racer demands.

Comfort & Handling

New Renthal® Fatbar®
The aluminum Renthal® Fatbar® pushes the boundaries of riding excellence with its unmatched bend.

Black Rims
They may not help you go faster, but the black D.I.D® rims sure look good.

Next-Generation Aluminum Frame
The CRF450R’s Next-Gen twin spar aluminum frame positions the rear shock’s mounting point lower, opening up the airbox area and contributing to a lower center of gravity for more holeshots. The frame geometry also helps improve traction, feeling and steering precision.

New Suspension Settings
Not a big change, but hey, with a bike this good we’re talking about chasing perfection. What you’ll experience is better front/rear balance.

Showa Spring Fork
The 49 mm Showa fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase the CRF450R’s front-suspension precision, handling and feel. The spring

Swingarm
The CRF450R's swingarm flex is finelly-tuned to work with the chassis and gives you better rear traction and comering precision.

Frame Members
With some of the rigidity taken out of the rear subframe, the chassis complements the swingarm to help maintain the bike's overall balance and feel.

Twin-Muffler Exhaust System
The CRF450R’s dual exhaust system is light, compact, and positioned close and low in the frame to take weight off the rear end and bring more mass to the bike’s
