2024 HONDA CRF450L,

Choice Of Champions;

;

Motorcycle racing is one of the most demanding sports in the world, and when the gate drops you better be totally dialed in—your fitness, your skills, and your equipment. And that's why the best riders in the world roll up to the start line on a Honda CFR450R. Look at Team Honda HRC's Chase Sexton, who clinched the 2023 AMA Supercross championship. Or Jett Lawrence on his CRF450R in the motocross nationals. When Honda introduced the first CR250M Elsinore fifty years ago, we changed motocross forever. For 2024, our CRF450R continues the legacy of winning, combining handling, power, suspension and refinement like nothing else on the track. And if you're looking for the absolute best of the best, check out our CRF450RWE Works Edition. It adds special touches like an exclusive Yoshimura exhaust, Twin Air filter, Throttle Jockey seat cover, Hinson clutch basket and cover, premium DID DirtStar LT-X rims, Kashima and titanium oxide-coated fork, a red cylinder head cover, and hands-on touches like special cylinder-head porting.

• Light Narrow Frame: Great handling starts with a superior frame, and that's one place where the CRF450R chassis puts you out front. First, it's light—over a pound and a half lighter than the previous generation's. By making the frame's main spars narrow, we save weight, but more importantly we make the chassis more responsive by fine-tuning the lateral rigidity. The result is a bike that gets into, around, and out of corners faster.
• Narrow Swingarm: Designed in conjunction with the frame, by using narrower main members (just like the frame uses narrower main spars), we've matched the swingarm's lateral rigidity to the rest of the chassis. What you get is a balanced, fully integrated approach to frame stiffness, letting you get around corners faster and with better feel.
• Lightweight Subframe: The CRF450R subframe is nearly three-quarters of a pound lighter than the last generation's part. We've simplified its construction too.
• Sealed Battery Box: Three key features you should know about: The battery box sits low, for improved center of gravity. Second, it's also easy to service. And third, it's water-tight, so there's less to worry about when racing in wet conditions.
• Tuned Triple Clamps:
