Ultimate PerformanceWant serious performance and exclusivity? The CRF450RWE gives you all the awesome power and handling of the CRF450R, plus a whole bunch of top-shelf features such as a strong suspension settings, special hand-ported cylinder head with a special red cyclinder head cover, black DID DirtStar LT-X rims, exclusive Yoshimura® exhaust system with titanium header, a Hinson clutch, Twin Air air filter, titanium nitride-coated lower fork legs and shock shaft, an RK gold chain, updated special ECU settings, a factory-spec gripper seat, and more. |
Hand-Ported Cylinder HeadTo help squeeze out maximum power, the CRF450RWE’s cylinder head is hand-ported — just like the factory race engines. An exclusive Yoshimura exhaust system including a titanium header designed specifically for the CRF450RWE works in tandem with the porting to help maximize power. |
Special ECU SettingsThe ECU is the brains of a race bike, and the CRF450RWE has special ECU settings—ideal when it comes to facing down the competition. |
Hydraulic ClutchBig power requires a strong clutch, and this bike delivers with a smooth-operating hydraulic clutch. Ditching the cable improves consistency, control and feel at the lever. The light lever pull and generous clutch capacity help to maximize power transfer and durability, and to top it off, clutch slip is minimized at peak power. The CRF450RWE also gets a premium clutch basket made by Hinson, and a tasty Hinson clutch cover to top it all off. |
Electric StartKickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers were able to make a light bike even lighter. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are so light now and so good that putting them on a bike like this is a win/win combination. And winning is what a CRF450R-series bike is all about. |
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) works to minimize rear wheel spin (thus wasted forward drive) and maximize traction. It doesn’t use a wheel-speed sensor, and, importantly, maintains feel at the throttle while managing power — ignition timing and the PGM-FI system are adjusted when the rate of change of RPM goes over a set amount. With three settings plus off to choose from, you can have your bike dialed no matter how much traction there is. |
HRC Launch ControlWe’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. |
Engine Mode Select ButtonThis 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. |
Efficient ExhaustThe CRF450RWE’s exhaust system sports a Yoshimura exhaust system – designed to provide the same power as the Honda HRC’s factory machines. Combined with an engine that gains significant power and torque at low and max, a silencer and stainless-steel header pipe, riders will enjoy the bike’s impressive power. |
Race-Proven SuspensionFully adjustable, the 49 mm Showa USD coil-spring fork is a version of the Showa 'factory' fork supplied to race teams in the Japanese championship. Front suspension: CRF450RWE, the inner rod has a special Kashima coating, and the outer tubes feature a titanium oxide coating Rear suspension: the RWE, you get additional special A-Kit shock tuning and valving. |
Titanium Fuel TankGrams and performance count, and to keep the weight down, the fuel tank is constructed of titanium. Light and strong, it’s also thin and takes up relatively little space while helping to centralize fuel mass. |
Smart ECUThe CRF450RWE boasts a specialized ECU with mapping, ignition and injection capabilities -- perfect for riders looking to tune performance up. |
Factory ReplicaTitanium nitride-coated lower fork legs, black DID LT-X rims, HRC graphics, factory-spec gripper seat… The CRF450RWE is built for speed, and for looking good on the podium. |
