2022 Honda® CRF450R-S HOLESHOT PERFORMANCE. CHAMPIONSHIP VALUE.

This year, we’re happy to announce an extraordinary opportunity for motocross riders: The 2022 Honda CRF450R-S, a new machine built to the proven 2020 CRF450R specs. But here’s the best part: We’re also offering it at a greatly reduced price that’s going to make it one of the best dirtbike deals ever.

The CRF450R-S offers a spectacular list of features, like our balanced twin exhaust for riders who prefer that system. And the Unicam® engine, selectable engine modes, Honda Selectable Torque Control and HRC Launch Control all put this bike right at the front. And if you do your part, it’ll put you there, too.

Features may include:

• NEXT-GENERATION ALUMINUM FRAME

The CRF450R-S’s Next-Gen 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

Kickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers can make 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.

• 449cc UNICAM ENGINE

Honda’s 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.
