2014 Honda CRF 450X, 2014 Honda® CRF®450X Meet The Reigning Champion Of Baja. Just how good is the CRF®450X? Here s a hint: it's won more races in Baja than all other recent 450-class machines combined. But this bike is merely a sum of its parts intelligently-engineered parts taken from its MX-winning cousin and specially tuned for the trail. Like the Honda® Progressive Steering Damper that helps reduce rider fatigue and improve cornering. An electric starter for easy start-ups in even the worst conditions. A Pro-Link® suspension, bulletproof Unicam® engine and the kind of durability Honda® is known for. Put it all together and you ve got perhaps the best off-roader ever built. The Best In Baja. Baja has a reputation for being ruthless. Only the best bikes can conquer the elements, and one bike has conquered all the others every time: the CRF®450X. Compact and Powerful. Utilizing a Unicam® cylinder head, the 449cc liquid-cooled four stroke in the CRF®450X puts out maximum power over a wide rpm band. Precise, Controlled Steering. Perfected on the MX circuit, the Honda® Progressive Steering Damper not only improves cornering, but also helps reduce arm fatigue. Innovations Works-Style Front Brakes Compact twin-piston front brake caliper, anodized-aluminum brake pistons and lightweight 240mm front disc increases stopping power while minimizing unsprung weight for improved turning and handling. HRC® works-type rear brake system adds a 240mm brake rotor to its integrated rear master-cylinder and fluid reservoir, a set-up that eliminates the separate reservoir and hose. Dual Radiators Dual radiators feature a refined core area for improved heat dissipation compared with conventional dual-radiator designs. Coolant recovery tank is located in front of the engine between the frame downtubes for improved center of gravity. Coolant tank is protected by a plastic skidplate. Titanium Intake Valves Lightweight titanium intake valves permit use of smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height. 449cc 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 over a comparable dual-overhead-camshaft motor and also permits a narrow 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 lower center of gravity. Gear-Driven Counterbalancer Gear-Driven Counterbalancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump. Eight clutch plates provide the surface area necessary to handle the engine's massive torque, while carefully matched clutch
