2025 Honda CRF450R: UNBEATABLE.

Introducing the 2025 Honda CRF450R…

Motocross continues to evolve with new techniques and riding styles that enable riders to push the sport to new heights. Matching that evolution, the 2025 CRF450R makes important strides in handling characteristics, power delivery and suspension performance that allow riders to perform at their best, even when the track is at its worst. Several years in the making, this new model integrates input from factory HRC riders like Jett and Hunter Lawrence and five-time MXGP world champion Tim Gajser, as well as professional test riders. Many of its features have been developed and used in competition, during Jett Lawrence’s perfect 2023 Pro Motocross season, his 2023 450 SuperMotocross championship, and his 2024 450 Supercross title. But this bike isn’t just for the pros; Honda’s engineers also considered feedback from customers and leading motocross media to deliver the most comprehensive package of performance and rideability to date.

Every. Single. Moto. Every. Single. Race. That’s the winning record our CRF450R racked up in Pro Motocross last year. And that was in addition to the 450 Supercross championship, and the first ever SuperMotocross 450 championship. But here’s the best news yet: our new 2025 CRF450R is based directly on input and refinements from last year’s winning racebike. These include new bodywork and factory CRF graphics, a new frame specially tuned for rigidity, new suspension components specially designed for a more consistent feel throughout the suspension stroke, new tripleclamps, new suspension linkage, and a new more linear front brake with less lever play. No matter how challenging the track, the CRF450R is ready to make a pass or keep you in front, even on the last lap of the second moto.

And if you’re looking for the absolute best of the best, check out our CRF450RWE Works Edition. It gets all the refinements of this year’s CRF450R, plus factory touches like an exclusive Yoshimura exhaust, Twin Air filter, Throttle Jockey seat cover, Hinson clutch basket and cover, premium DID DirtStar LT-X rims, Kashima and titanium oxide-coated fork, a red cylinder-head cover, and hands-on touches like special cylinder-head porting.

Honda CRF450R Competition Dirt Bike

The Honda CRF450R has been turning heads at the track for over 50 years. This Honda 450cc dirt bike has plenty of low- and midrange torque, giving riders faster corner exits and the ability to pull taller gears on the track. The CRF450R is a winner! Honda GDR racer Dylan Wright rides the CRF450R, and took home his fourth Triple Crown Series championship in 2023.

The chassis is robust and results in great stability, optimized suspension performance, and tight handling. As a bonus, its muffler is strong, helping to prevent excess noise from your bike.

2025 Honda CRF450R Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

HISTORY

Having established a reputation as a manufacturer of high-performing two-stroke motocross bikes with its CR line—originally launched in 1973 with the legendary CR250M Elsinore—Honda introduced its first four-stroke motocrosser for the 2002 model year.

An immediate hit, the CRF450R received performance updates for 2003, then a complete makeover in 2005, including a new frame, suspension and bodywork, resulting in a machine that was head-and-shoulders above its peers. For 2009, Honda brought fuel injection to the CRF450R, and the entire model was revamped, with weight savings being a primary objective.

In 2013, Honda introduced twin exhausts to the model, along with engine updates. The 2017 edition was another complete makeover, including electric start, and the 2021 model featured a slimmer profile and a return to a single exhaust. For the 2023 model year, Honda celebrated its motocross heritage by introducing a special 50th Anniversary Edition of the CRF450R.

The model has enjoyed success on the professional racing front, starting with Ricky Carmichael’s perfect AMA Pro Motocross season in 2004. It has earned a number of accolades in the FIM MXGP World Championship, with the crown going to Tim Gajser in 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2022. The CRF450R has ruled recent AMA racing, with Chase Sexton earning the 2023 AMA Supercross crown, and Jett Lawrence securing the ’23 AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross Championships, as well as the 2024 AMA Supercross title.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

The CRF450R’s new frame and suspension components are optimized for stability, comfort and precise handling. On the track, these advancements translate to a confidence-inspiring ride character, greater comfort and lower lap times for riders of all skill levels.

Frame / Subframe
The redesigned mainframe is constructed from 70% new components, leading to a more comfortable and confidence-inspiring ride. An 8% increase in torsional rigidity improves overall stability, while a 5% increase in the torsional/lateral rigidity ratio allows for precision cornering. Vertical torsional rigidity is increased by 4%, enhancing stability in rough track conditions.

Additionally, the subframe mounting point has been relocated to a more rigid position on the mainframe. This reduces energy transmission from the rear of the motorcycle to the front, offering greater stability and comfort, especially late in the moto when track conditions are at their worst.

Despite the increase in overall frame rigidity, the ride character of the CRF450R is much more compliant and composed compared to the previous generation. The frame updates are complemented by revised chassis and suspension components, allowing for greater stability and improved ride comfort.

Suspension
The suspension components have also been revised to match the changes made to the frame. The rigidity of the steering stem, triple clamps, outer fork tubes and front axle have all been revised, improving bump-impact absorption and front-end feel, resulting in a more comfortable ride.

Plus, the 49mm inverted Showa coil-spring fork benefits from new internal components, including springs, kit-fork-inspired Bending Control Valves, seals and oil. These advancements help to control the stroke for a consistent feel—from initial movement, all the way to the end of travel, minimizing any “step” or harsh feeling back to the rider.

The Pro-Link rear-suspension system has a revised linkage structure that increases rigidity by 11%, allowing for smoother rear-suspension actuation. The leverage ratio has been adjusted to maintain a balanced feel, even under braking, and improve bottoming resistance without losing comfort over small bumps.

The shock spring, reservoir, shaft and oil seal have all been updated to achieve a consistent feel throughout the stroke. These updates contribute to an overall balanced feel, as they’re designed to complement the updates to the frame and fork.

The shock is also easier to remove for service and adjustment, only requiring the removal of the side covers, muffler and ECU. The shock takes half the time to remove compared to the previous-generation CRF450R.

Wheels
Black D.I.D rims deliver durable performance and good looks. Petal-style brake rotors disperse heat, and a low-expansion front brake hose gives strong feel and consistent stopping power. The CRF450R comes with Dunlop’s excellent Geomax MX33 tires, generally considered to be the industry standard for soft to intermediate terrain. Developed with the help of top motocross pros, MX33s feature technologies that deliver superior grip, slide control, bump absorption and durability.

Brakes
Based on feedback from Team Honda HRC riders, the front brake caliper has an updated piston and seal grooves. This allows for a smooth, linear feel that’s consistent throughout the moto. The caliper also receives new machined accents.

ENGINE / DRIVETRAIN

The CRF450R engine boasts exceptional bottom-end and midrange power and torque, making for a linear delivery that is strong but manageable, even as the rider tires, while peak power is also very good. A five-hole piston oil jet and dual 12mm drum scavenge pump manage lubrication.

Cylinder Head
The design of the Unicam cylinder head, with the decompressor system’s counterweight on the left end of the camshaft, contributes to combustion stability in the extremely low rpm range and for strong-but-manageable power delivery on corner exits, for example, as well as resistance to stalling. Engineers followed the direction of Team Honda HRC by optimizing the cam profile for low-end torque. As before, the cylinder-head cover is magnesium, with a thin-wall design for weight savings.

Intake
The redesigned airbox has a more direct pathway for airflow, resulting in improved, precise throttle control and increased top-end power. A large air boot (4.1 liters on the clean side of the air filter) achieves strong torque at low rpm. Following feedback from HRC, the 44mm throttle body ensures smooth power delivery at low speed. In addition, the narrow intake-port shape and long air funnel result in strong low-end torque and crisp throttle response. The airbox is accessed with the removal of a single side-panel bolt. The 60º fuel-injector angle enables the spray to reach all the way to the back of the butterfly, thus cooling the upstream side of the intake path for maximum intake efficiency and torque feel.

Exhaust
For 2025, the header pipe has been revised with a longer and straighter design, creating more efficient and usable power in the low-to-mid rpm range. The engine’s exhaust port remains centrally located, has an oval shape and is very straight, optimizing exhaust efficiency and torque characteristics. With the engine’s central exhaust-port location, the exhaust header and muffler are positioned close to the vehicle’s centerline for a slim profile, contributing to freedom of movement for the rider. The muffler is constructed with strong A6061-T6 aluminum for impact resistance and weight savings. A dual resonator design optimizes power, while simultaneously minimizing noise.

Clutch
The clutch is hydraulically actuated and has eight plates and a large volume for good durability with minimal slippage and light lever pull.

Electronics
To mimic what the HRC factory riders were looking for, the signature Unicam engine uses new selectable ECU maps that offer a smoother delivery while retaining strong torque and power throughout the rev range.

A gear-position sensor allows the use of three specific ignition maps for first and second gears, third and fourth gears, and fifth gear. There are options for Standard, Smooth and Aggressive ignition maps, selectable via an all-new handlebar-mounted switch, enabling simple tuning depending on rider preference or course conditions.

In addition, Honda Selectable Torque Control offers three levels of intervention. HSTC monitors rpm spikes and responds by temporarily reducing torque; this is accomplished by retarding ignition timing and controlling PGM-FI, to aid rear traction. The three different modes differ in drive-management level, for differing riding conditions or rider preferences:

• Mode 1: The system intervenes most lightly and waits the longest to do so—useful for reducing wheel-spin and maintaining control in tight corners.
• Mode 2: A midpoint between modes 1 and 3 in terms of how quickly and assertively the system intervenes.
• Mode 3: The system intervenes most quickly and assertively, which helps in conditions that are slippery or muddy.

The CRF450R’s handlebar-mounted switch allows selection between three modes, depending on conditions and rider preference. The HSTC system can also be switched off completely.

HRC Launch Control provides the best option for a strong start and also has three modes to choose from:

• Level 1: 9,500 rpm, for high-traction conditions and/or advanced riders
• Level 2: 8,500 rpm, for high-traction conditions and/or average riders
• Level 3: 8,250 rpm, for slippery conditions and/or novice riders

The Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB) alters the engine’s characteristics and three maps are available to suit riding conditions or rider preference:

• Mode 1: Standard
• Mode 2: Smooth
• Mode 3: Aggressive

DESIGN

The redesigned bodywork maintains the comfortable ergonomics that the CRF line is known for. The new shrouds and side plates promote freedom of movement, with a smooth, flat surface. Plus, the wider side-plate profile and flat surface provide better contact for gripping the bike. The radiator grilles optimize the number of fins and their angle, maximizing cooling performance.

The seat base has rearward-facing tongues and front-located mounting tabs, easing installation, and using acceleration forces to keep the seat securely in place. The 1.7-gallon fuel tank is made of lightweight titanium.

Only eight fasteners are used to secure all the main bodywork components—both radiator shrouds, both side panels and the seat, and all of the bolts for the main bodywork parts have 8mm heads, simplifying maintenance.

A single switch cluster addresses several functions: engine stop, ride-modes and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). The starter and HRC launch control are on the right side of the Renthal® Fatbar® handlebar. There are two locations for the handlebar clamp, and the clamp can be turned 180º; as a result, four different mounting positions are possible, through a range of 26mm.

HANDLING

LIGHT NARROW FRAME
Great handling starts with a superior frame, and that’s one place where the CRF450R chassis puts you out front. First, it’s light—over a pound and a half lighter than the previous generation’s. By making the frame’s main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly we make the chassis more responsive. This year approximately 70 percent of the frame components are new for excellent, responsive turning performance and to work with the new suspension.

NARROW SWINGARM
Designed in conjunction with the frame, by using narrower main members (just like the frame uses narrower main spars), we’ve matched the swingarm’s lateral rigidity to the rest of the chassis. What you get is a balanced, fully integrated approach to frame stiffness, letting you get around corners faster and with better feel.

LIGHTWEIGHT SUBFRAME
The CRF450R subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generation’s. We’ve simplified its construction too.

SEALED BATTERY BOX
Three key features you should know about: The battery box sits low, for improved center of gravity. Second, it’s also easy to service. And third, it’s water-tight, so there’s less to worry about when racing in wet conditions.

NEW TRIPLECLAMPS, AXLE, AND STEERING STEM
The CRF450R is a perfectly matched package. New top and bottom tripleclamps for 2025 work with the new frame, revised fork, new front axle and new steering stem for a more consistent suspension feel throughout the stroke. Working in concert, they help improve and balance total rigidity, responsiveness and turning performance.

REAR SUSPENSION
The CRF450R’s frame design lets us fit a special rear shock. The shock’s valving resets fast for better response. In addition, it features a special steel spring that cuts weight without cutting performance. With the RWE, you get additional special A-Kit shock tuning and valving.

SHOWA SPRING FORK
The 49mm Showa fork features a conventional spring design that helps increase the CRF450R’s front-suspension precision, handling and feel. For 2025, new springs, new seals and new valving improve the consistency of the stroke feel throughout the entire range of travel. Plus, on the CRF450RWE, the inner rod has a special Kashima coating, and the outer tubes feature a titanium oxide coating.

SINGLE-PIPE EXHAUST
The CRF450R uses a single-pipe header. It routes close to the center of the bike, and its light overall construction helps improve weight distribution. The single muffler uses a pressed-alloy design that lets us shape the muffler body for better rider ergonomics and lighter weight. A new header pipe for 2025 helps make more controllable power in the low- and mid-rpm range.

YOSHIMURA EXHAUST
The CRF450RWE’s exhaust is another premium item. It uses a stainless header along with a titanium midpipe and muffler made specially for us by Yoshimura and installed at the factory. Super light and super trick, the exhaust tucks away for better ergonomics too.

ENGINEERING
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
The CRF450R features the first hydraulically actuated dirtbike clutch we’ve offered outside of our works bikes. Made by Nissin, it’s the same design as in our Grand Prix MX machines, and performs better than third-party conversions. You get a clutch-lever pull that’s ten percent lighter at its peak, and more consistent throughout an entire moto, even though it’s paired with a strong, eight-plate clutch. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about making a clutch-cable adjustment, even during the longest events.

EXCLUSIVE HINSON CLUTCH BASKET
The CRF450RWE gets a premium clutch basket made by Hinson, and a tasty Hinson clutch cover to top it all off.

EIGHT-PLATE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
While the CRF450R’s hydraulic clutch gets all the attention, make sure you pay attention to the clutch assembly itself. The bike uses an eight-plate design to improve durability and hookup. That means 85 percent less slip at peak horsepower, and 27 percent more total torque transmission through the clutch pack over a seven-plate clutch. Even the spring is super strong for better lockup, but thanks to the hydraulic actuation, clutch-lever pull is lighter.

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!

Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)
The button on the handlebar by the clutch perch activates our Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). You can choose from one of three settings to perfectly dial your bike in depending on how much traction is available.

ENGINE MODE SELECT BUTTON
This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.

COMPACT FUEL PUMP
No detail is too small for our engineers—especially if they can make it smaller and lighter. That’s why we even made the CRF450R’s fuel pump super compact and super light. Why carry around any extra weight when you don’t have to.

ONE-PIECE RADIATOR SHROUDS
Using computer-aided Computational Fluid Dynamics, our engineers fine-tuned the CRF450R’s radiator shrouds to increase cooling. You can see that they’re a one-piece design, but more important, they promote better cooling for more consistent power, longer into a race, especially when you’re really on the gas and working the engine hard.

REAR BRAKE PADS
Brakes are for more than just stopping: they help you set up the bike in turns and jumps. Which is why we pay so much attention to detail like brake pads. They’re designed to last longer and give you more stopping power—a real win/win to help you win.

260mm FRONT BRAKE
The CRF450R’s large front-brake disc measures a whopping 260mm. You get great brake feel and a pattern that cuts down on weight. Front and rear brake-disc guards are part of the package too. A new caliper this year reduces lever fade and returns better brake feel.

TITANIUM FUEL TANK
Grams and performance count, and the CRF450R uses a titanium fuel tank. Light and strong, it maintains the same capacity as our previous plastic unit, while freeing up more space and helping to centralize fuel mass.

CONVENIENCE
SEALED AIRBOX AND FILTER
Along with the special air filter, the airbox shape helps deliver more torque. You can access the airbox through the left number plate. And because the CRF450R’s filter has no rubber gasket where it interfaces with the intake boot, cleaning and servicing the filter is faster and less hassle.

ELECTRIC STARTER
By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers can make the CRF450R lighter. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are so light, consistent and reliable that putting them on a bike like this is a win/win combination. And winning is what a CRF450R is all about.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Check out the controls on the CRF450R. We’ve made them light and intuitive. Controls used to be your bike’s shifter, clutch, and brakes. Now you have things like launch assist, selectable power modes, and more. We believe they should be easy to use, especially when you’re concentrating on winning.

PERFORMANCE
EXCLUSIVE WORKS EDITION
Simply stated, the best of the best. The CRF450RWE Works Edition includes all the standard CRF450R features, but also gets a special hand-ported cylinder head; Hinson clutch basket and cover; Twin Air filter, Throttle Jockey graphics and seat cover; upgraded DID DirtStar LT-X rims; an exclusive Yoshimura exhaust system including a titanium midpipe and muffler; Kashima and titanium oxide-coated lower fork legs; revalved suspension; an RK gold chain; special ECU settings; and black triple clamps.

450cc UNICAM ENGINE
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.

AUTOMATIC DECOMPRESSION SYSTEM
You can’t see this unless you take the engine apart, but you’ll notice it on the track. You’ll also experience less stalling at extreme low rpm (think deep into a turn without downshifting) as well as better rideability.

CENTRAL-PORT CYLINDER HEAD
The 2025 CRF450R features a special cylinder head. Its biggest feature: an oval-shaped centralized exhaust port. Together with the single-muffler exhaust, it boosts power from 5000 rpm up, and increases exhaust efficiency. Plus, the CRF450RWE gets some exclusive porting touches and engraving. The RWE cylinder-head cover is red too, so it really stands out.

TITANIUM INTAKE VALVES
Lightweight titanium intake valves cut down on reciprocating mass and permit the use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height and weight.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
By installing the CRF450R’s fuel injector at a 60-degree angle, the injector sprays fuel all the way back to the throttle butterfly. The engine gets a cooler, denser fuel charge for more power and better torque. It’s little details like this that put the CRF450R up front.

DOWNDRAFT FUEL INJECTION
The CRF450R features a downdraft intake tract and FI body to help increase both power and fuel-metering precision. It’s part of the reason the CRF450R offers such explosive power and massive torque, especially out of the starting gate and in the critical first 100 feet of the race to the first turn.

DOUBLE-SPRAY INJECTOR SETTINGS
The CRF450R’s fuel-injection system sprays twice per intake cycle. That helps increase fuel atomization without adding the weight or complexity of a second injector. The better fuel atomization means more power in the midrange and on overrev—you’ll feel it the first time you race.

DUNLOP MX33 TIRES
These are the tires of choice for serious MX racers right now, so naturally, we fit the best to the 2025 CRF450R. The Dunlops hook up in a wide variety of conditions, and help you put the CRF450R’s improved cornering performance to the ground.

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.

13.5:1 COMPRESSION RATIO
Honda engineering at its best: The CRF450R’s cylinder head features a highly refined combustion-chamber shape and generous squish area, allowing an impressive 13.5:1 compression ratio for superior efficiency and power.

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

COMFORT
SLIM BODYWORK
The CRF450R’s extra-slim bodywork makes it a lot easier to move around on the bike, and that maximizes your riding freedom. When we reduced the total number of fasteners needed to remove the body panels, maintenance off the bike got easier too.

FRESH STYLING
The 2025 CRF450R gets new “stacked” CRF graphics that take their styling cues right off our HRC works bikes. Plus, to keep them looking good, our “in mold” graphics are more durable, especially after repeated track sessions and cleaning. And the CRF450RWE goes one step further, with an exclusive graphics package by Throttle Jockey.

RENTHAL “FATBAR”
The aluminum Renthal Fatbar features a bend that’s the new standard of excellence—you’re gonna love it! In addition, the CRF450RWE gets special Renthal grips.

EASY-ACCESS SEAT
Sometimes you need to think out of the box—that’s what we did with the CRF450R’s seat. Compared to earlier designs, we’ve moved the attaching bolts from the rear to the front, and the tongue from the front to the rear. When it’s time for service, removing and installing your CRF450R’s seat is easier than ever. Plus, on the RWE, you get an exclusive Throttle Jockey seat cover.

DETAILED CABLE ROUTING
You may not notice it at first, but routing the CRF450R’s throttle cables and hydraulic clutch line let our engineers shave almost half a pound off the bike. Light is always right!
