Engine & Drivetrain |
Strong, confident power Truly noticeable power and torque from the bottom up allows the rider to experience all the rear-wheel grip possible – no matter what the terrain |
Six-speed transmission The CRF450L rocks a six-speed gearbox that gives you a low gear perfect for tight, slow situations, and a top gear that’s tall enough for highway riding to the next gas stop or trailhead. |
Dynamic performance With an increase in the crank's mass, you'll enjoy 13% more inertia when out on the trail – this means more torque feel and response. |
Smooth response A newly-revised valve timing helps to produce a broader, smoother spread of power and torque |
Final-Drive Sprocket Damper With the urethane injected swing arm that's designed to keep your bike quiet while not adding any weight, these unique drive sprockets are just another example of the CRF450L’s innovative engineering. |
Improved charging A high-volume battery unit and updated alternator provides the required electrical power for the LED lights while also maintaining a battery charge during low-speed running |
The same bore and stroke as the CRF450R (96 mm x 62.1 mm) is maintained, but durability is improved thanks to the piston now using 3 rings. |
Built to last A truly reliable engine and top build quality translates into a real-world service schedule of 32,000 km between major engine stripdowns – with an air and oil filter change every 1,000 km. |
Chassis & Suspension |
Designed for durability The CRF450L’s style draws inspiration directly from the CRF450R, with nods to the rear mudguard, side panels and skid plate |
One cool ride A large volume radiator and an electric fan helps to keep the engine cool – in all riding conditions |
Trusted titanium The CRF450L boasts a 7.6 litre titanium fuel tank. |
Gaining traction Dig in deep with 18-inch rear and 21-inch front, enduro spec DOT tires |
Additional Features |
Directly inspired by its predecessor The CRF450L is a dual-purpose bike that draws from the legacy and high performance of the CRF450R race machine – alll with many additonal "normal" service intervals and high-quality road components |
Lighting the way Adavnced LED lighting illuminates the headlights, turn signals, and tail lights |
Sidestand A sidestand may seem like no big thing, but take a look at the one the CRF450L uses. Tucked up high and out of the way, this forged alloy piece is just another example of how the CRF450L gets it right. |
Twin-Spar Chassis The twin-spar aluminum frame is both light and stiff, and provides the basis for the CRF450L’s excellent handling, making it a true off-road bike. The chassis geometry is specially selected for responsiveness, and also is wider than the standard MX frame to accommodate the six-speed transmission. |
