2026 Honda® CRF450RX

For riders who live by the credo go big or go home, the CRF450RX is the Honda 450cc dirt bike designed to dominate in cross country. Now, this powerful bike takes you even closer to the winner’s podium thanks to key upgrades that boost performance and design – all while providing serious riders with iconic Honda quality and durability. Whether you’re experiencing the CRF450RX’s smooth and light clutch, its electric start, or even the Honda Selectable Torque Control for minimizing rear wheel spin, this is a machine ready to push out front – and stay there.

Features may include:

• Unicam Engine

The Unicam® cylinder head offers a compact, lightweight design with a narrow valve angle, which improves combustion chamber efficiency, increases compression ratio, and lowers the center of gravity.

• Smoother Airflow

Torque output has been maximized with a unique airbox shape and filter design. The filter is easily accessible and features a gasket-less design for quicker and easier cleaning and servicing.

• Revised Exhaust

In combination with its less-restrictive air-intake system, the CRF450RX’s revised exhaust with straighter airflow means smoother engine operation in the mid- to high-rpm range and more-controllable acceleration.

• Aluminum Frame

The CRF450RX’s aluminum frame is engineered for increased rigidity and stability. Its structure enhances torsional and lateral stiffness in every direction, delivering more controlled and predictable handling — especially in rough conditions.

• Showa Fork

The CRF450RX features a Showa spring fork designed for optimal low-speed damping, reduced friction, and increased rigidity. From the outer tube to the axle, every component works together to deliver precise control and consistent performance — lap after lap.

• Shock Access

The CRF450RX’s Pro-Link rear suspension is built around a link system that resists flex and a shock with smooth, consistent action. Maintenance is straightforward, with easy access to the rear suspension assembly. The shock can be removed in minutes — no need to take off the seat, muffler, or rear frame.
