2024 Honda CRF 450R-S

2024 Honda® CRF450R-S

Nobody needs to tell you that every dollar counts these days. Which is why our Honda CRF450R-S is such a perfect bike for its time. You get an incredibly refined open-class motocrosser at an incredible price. Unicam®?engine, selectable engine modes, Honda Selectable Torque Control, titanium fuel tank, premium suspension, and something nobody else can match: Honda refinement and build quality. Spend the money you’ll save on a new pair of boots, some extra tires, your entry fees . . . and a bigger trophy case. The 2024 CRF450R-S is the open classer we all need right now.

Features may include:

• ALUMINUM FRAME

The CRF450R-S’s twin-spar aluminum frame positions the rear shock’s mounting point lower, opening up the airbox area and contributing to a lower center of gravity for more holeshots. The frame geometry also helps improve traction, feeling and steering precision.

• 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 CRF450R-S will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage. It turns your bike into a holeshot-seeking machine!

• ELECTRIC STARTER

By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers have made the CRF450R-S lighter. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are so light now and so good that putting them on a bike like this is a win/win combination. And winning is what a CRF450R-S is all about.

• 450cc UNICAM ENGINE

Honda Unicam cylinder head combines 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 included 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 more compact engine and a lower center of gravity.

• RENTHAL "FATBAR"

The aluminum Renthal Fatbar features a bend that’s even better than the legendary Honda “CR” bar. You’re gonna love it!
