2026 Honda® CRF450RX Base

2026 Honda® CRF450RX

Built on the race-proven CRF450R platform, the CRF450RX is loaded with off-road essentials like terrain-taming Showa suspension and an 18-inch rear wheel. From tight trails to wide open spaces, this bike delivers podium-grade performance with Honda’s signature durability. Fast. Tough. Ready for wherever the course takes you.

Features may include:

• 450cc Unicam® engine

Honda's Unicam® cylinder heads combine single- and double-overhead-cam designs to create a compact engine with a narrow valve angle. This allows for a higher compression ratio and lower center of gravity.

• Decompression system

Compared to the previous generation, our engineers improved the motorcycle's auto-decompression hardware, moving it from the right side of the cam to the left. This results in less stalling at low rpms and better rideability, especially when turning.

• Responsive frame

A superior frame is crucial for excellent handling, and the chassis delivers. It's lightweight and responsive, with narrow main spars, and was designed with direct input from Team Honda HRC riders.

• Tripleclamps, axle, and steering stem

Compared to the previous generation, we revised the tripleclamps, frame, fork, and steering stem for improved chassis rigidity and responsiveness to give the bike better cornering feel.

• Hydraulic clutch

This bike has a hydraulically actuated Nissin clutch, which is the same design as our Grand Prix MX machines and has a ten percent lighter pull. You won't need to make clutch-cable adjustments, even during long events.

• Race styling

Like our factory racebikes, the CRF logo is stacked and features our "in-mold" graphics, designed to remain durable after repeated track sessions and cleaning.

• One-piece radiator shrouds

Our engineers used Computational Fluid Dynamics to fine-tune the radiator shrouds for increased cooling efficiency. The one-piece design ensures consistent power output and prevents overheating.
