THE ULTIMATE OFFROAD WEAPON
Start with the best there is. Then make it better. With the
CRF450R MX machine as a base, the CRF450RX already has
an advantage and along with the enduro-specific equipment
– larger fuel tank (8 litres), sidestand and 18-inch rear wheel –
its aluminium frame and swingarm feature factory-rider rigidity
balance with sharp steering, huge ground clearance and RX-specific
suspension settings. And for use away from the MX track the Showa
suspension features a different set-up.
Creating perfect balance and control the fully adjustable 49mm Showa
steel spring front fork has been re-valved for firmer compression and
rebound damping, the rear shock for firmer compression.
The engine ECU has settings for wide-ranging off-road riding, capable of strong
mid-range power with smooth throttle response. The decompression system
minimises stalling while the hydraulic clutch is tough, with light lever load. Just like
the CRF450R the RX features the Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB) which alters
power and torque characteristics. 3-Level HRC Launch Control gives you option out
of the gate whatever your riding ability experience, and whatever conditions you’re
riding in. And once you’ve bossed the start, 3-Level Honda Selectable Torque
Control (HSTC) keeps you driving forward.
Make no mistake, this is our total off-road missile. The CRF450RX punches hard
everywhere and develops incredible speed over ground, from flat-out special tests
to technical single track. And it’ll do it all day
