Every. Single. Moto. Every. Single. Race. That’s the winning record our CRF450R racked up in Pro Motocross last year. And that was in addition to the 450 Supercross championship, and the first ever SuperMotocross 450 championship.
But here’s the best news yet: our new 2025 CRF450R is based directly on input and refinements from last year’s winning race bike. These include new bodywork and factory CRF graphics, a new frame specially tuned for rigidity, new suspension components specially designed for a more consistent feel throughout the suspension stroke, new triple clamps, new suspension linkage, and a new more linear front brake with less lever play.
No matter how challenging the track, the CRF450R is ready to make a pass or keep you in front, even on the last lap of the second moto.
New for 2025:
🔴 Updated main frame constructed of 70% new components to optimize rigidity and improve handling characteristics.
🔴 New subframe mounting point optimizes lateral rigidity and reduces energy transmission from the rear of the bike to the front.
🔴 The rigidity of the steering stem, triple clamps, outer fork tubes and front axle have all been revised to match the frame updates.
🔴 The fork features new springs, kit-fork-inspired Bending Control Valves, seals and oil for a consistent feel throughout the stroke, while minimizing harsh feedback.
🔴 A new shock spring, reservoir, shaft and oil seal contribute to a consistent stroke feel to match the fork updates.
🔴 The linkage has been updated to a one-piece structure that enhances rigidity, to improve tracking and stability performance. It also features a new leverage ratio that decreases pitching while improving bottoming resistance.
🔴 The front brake caliper has an updated piston and seal grooves for consistent performance throughout the moto. It also features new machined accents.
🔴 The redesigned airbox provides a straighter pathway for airflow, improving throttle control and top-end power
🔴 The revised header pipe design is longer, creating more controllable power in the low-to-mid rpm range.
🔴 New ECU maps offer smoother delivery while retaining strong torque and power throughout the rev range.
🔴 The redesigned bodywork features smooth, flat surfaces to promote freedom of movement and offer a large contact point for gripping the bike.
🔴 Rear-shock removal time has been cut in half by eliminating the need to remove the subframe in order to access the shock.

Features
Mode Select, Traction & Launch control
Shift sensor allows a dedicated ignition map for each gear, enabling optimum running. All-new Honda Selectable Torque Control with three levels of intervention. HSTC monitors rpm spikes and responds by temporarily reducing torque to aid rear traction.
Redesigned Engine Internals
The 2025 CRF450R features a special cylinder head. Its biggest feature: an oval-shaped centralized exhaust port. Together with the single-muffler exhaust, it boosts power from 5000 rpm up, and increases exhaust efficiency.
Redesigned Lighter 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. This year approximately 70 percent of the frame components are new for excellent, responsive turning performance and to work with the new suspension.
