Enhanced Podium Ability. Honda’s CFR450R is the nuclear option in the motocross wars. Light, powerful, nimble, responsive, it offers the most performance and refinement of any bike in its class. For 2016, we’ve made some fine-tuning changes that make it a little better, but the big features that separate it from the pack remain. For example, there’s the CRF450R’s engine mode select button that lets you choose between three settings (standard, smooth and aggressive), just by pushing a handlebar-mounted button. Use that in conjunction with our available HRC fuel injection setting tool, and it’s easier than ever to adjust your engine’s output for specific track conditions. Next, the CRF450R's revolutionary KYB air fork features both high- and low-speed compression and rebound damping, letting you dial in the CRF450R's suspension in much quicker. Details like a fork that’s five millimeters longer this year and a new shock link help make the CRF450R even more stable. There’s even a new chain roller to help. All in all, you have everything you need to put you up front, from the second the start gate drops to when the checkered flag falls.
There's big news for 2015: an all-new Engine Mode Select button lets you choose between three settings (Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive), just by pushing a handlebar-mounted button. It's an industry first for MX bikes, and it's going to make tuning your bike for changing track conditions a snap. With our available HRC Fuel Injection Setting Tool, it's easily adjustable to specific track conditions and refines your settings in place of the smooth and aggressive settings on the engine mode selector.Next, the CRF®450R's revolutionary KYB Air Fork features new high-speed / low-speed compression and rebound damping, letting you dial in the CRF450R's suspension in much quicker. The new exhaust port header design and compact dual exhaust further enhance mass centralization. And the new head design provides more top end power and over-rev.Plus, there's stronger transmission gears, a new piston, more flywheel mass, a new rear shock that's easier to adjust and a new 260 mm front brake lets you haul down all that speed with more stopping power. The list just keeps going on.
