• All-new 4th-generation twin-spar aluminium frame is derived from Honda’s CR series of championships.
  • Forged aluminium steering head and tapered down-tube section designed for optimised frame rigidity. In addition, tall swingarm pivot plates and narrow frame spars create a narrow overall frame cross-section for superb rider comfort and manoeuvrability.
  • Semi-double-cradle frame design features a single, large-diameter tapered downtube. Two rugged box-section rails attach to the base of the downtube and support the engine. A forged aluminium steering head provides a compact and extremely durable mount for the frame spars and engine downtube.
  • The aluminium frame design is matched to rider ergonomics to maximise handling and control operation.
  • Lightweight, 47mm Showa inverted twin-chamber cartridge-type fork with aluminium dampers is derived from the CRF450R and features settings unique to the CRF450X. The fork offers 315mm of travel, 16-step rebound and 16-step compression damping adjustability. The inner surfaces of the front fork outer tubes receive the same honing treatment as Works bikes for low-friction operation.
  • Pro-Link rear suspension system features a single, fully adjustable Showa rear damper and 315mm of wheel travel, separate low-speed (13-step) and high-speed (3.5 turns) compression damping adjusters, and 17-step adjustable rebound damping.
  • Large 50mm rear damper piston diameter provides consistent performance under demanding riding conditions.
  • Swingarm features a dual-axis, double-taper design with a large cast aluminium cross-member offering high strength and light weight.
  • Front wheel features large-diameter front axle and wide wheel-bearing span for excellent rigidity.
  • 18" rear wheel features same lightweight rear hub and HRC Works-type lightweight aluminium spoke nipples as used on CRF450R for reduced unsprung weight.
  • Rear axle diameter of 25mm and large-diameter bearings provide optimum rigidity and strength to withstand torturous track conditions.
  • Large, 240mm front and rear brake rotors.
  • Compact dual-piston front brake calliper, anodised aluminium brake pistons and lightweight front brake rotor minimise unsprung weight for improved turning and handling.
  • HRC Works-type rear brake system integrates the rear master cylinder and fluid reservoir, eliminating the need for a remote master cylinder reservoir and hose assembly.
