Ultimate Performance
Want serious performance and exclusivity? The CRF450RWE gives you all the awesome power and handling of the CRF450R, plus a whole bunch of extra top-shelf features. You’ll spot special components on the Works Edition CRF everywhere you look, including the metallic-red cylinder-head cover on the 449 cc Unicam engine. And there’s good stuff hidden from view, too, such as the hand-ported cylinder head that contributes to an increase in torque throughout the rev range. |
Smoother Airflow
To help the CRF450RWE breathe more freely, engineers redesigned the entire air-intake system. A new airbox, new mounting position for the Twin Air dual-layer foam filter, and new intake funnel combine to reduce restrictions to airflow. The result? Better throttle control and more consistent power delivery. |
Revised Yoshimura Exhaust
In combination with its less-restrictive air-intake system, the CRF450RWE’s Yoshimura exhaust with straighter airflow for 2025 means smoother engine operation in the mid- to high-rpm range and more-controllable acceleration. As well, an extended header pipe enhances power control at low to mid rpm. |
Hydraulic Clutch
Big 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. |
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 Control
We’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 Button
This 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. |
New ECU Settings
Our engineers never stop searching for ways to make it easier to go faster. Revised ECU settings combine with the other chassis and powertrain improvements to make the CRF450RWE an all-around better performer. |
