Ultimate Performance

Want improved performance and exclusivity? The CRF450RWE gives you all the awesome power and handling of the CRF450R, plus a whole bunch of top-shelf upgrades such as a upgraded suspension settings, special hand-ported cylinder head with a special red cyclinder head cover, black DID DirtStar LT-X rims, a new, exclusive Yoshimura® exhaust system with titanium header, a Hinson clutch, Twin Air air filter, titanium nitride-coated lower fork legs and shock shaft, an RK gold chain, updated special ECU settings, a factory-spec gripper seat, and more.

Hand-Ported Cylinder Head

To help squeeze out maximum power, the CRF450RWE’s cylinder head is hand-ported — just like the factory race engines. A new exclusive Yoshimura exhaust system including a titanium header designed specifically for the CRF450RWE works in tandem with the porting to help maximize power.

Special ECU Settings

The ECU is the brains of a race bike, and the CRF450RWE has special ECU settings that have been updated to give it an additional edge over the competition.

Hydraulic Clutch

Big power requires a strong clutch, and this bike delivers with a smooth-operating hydraulic clutch. Ditching the cable improves consistency, control and feel at the lever. Compared to the cable system of the previous generation CRF450R, the lever pull is 10% lighter, clutch capacity is increased by 27%, an extra plate and spring are added to maximize power transfer and durability and to top it off, clutch slip is reduced by 85% at peak power. The CRF450RWE also gets a premium clutch basket made by Hinson, and a tasty Hinson clutch cover to top it all off.

Electric Start

Kickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers were able to make a light bike even 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-series bike is all about.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) works to minimize rear wheel spin (thus wasted forward drive) and maximize traction. It doesn’t use a wheel-speed sensor, and, importantly, maintains feel at the throttle while managing power — ignition timing and the PGM-FI system are adjusted when the rate of change of rpm goes over a set amount. With three settings plus off to choose from, you can have your bike dialed no matter how much traction there is.

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 bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage.

Engine Mode Select Button

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.

Upgraded Exhaust

The 2023 CRF450RWE’s exhaust system has received a major upgrade thanks to the new Yoshimura exhaust system – designed to provide the same power as the Honda HRC’s factory machines. Combined with an engine that gains more power and torque at low and max, a new silencer and stainless-steel header pipe, riders will enjoy the bike’s impressive power.

Oval Exhaust Ports

As with the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, the CRF450RWE's exhaust port is oval rather than round in shape for improved efficiency, and the twin exhaust design of the previous model has been replaced by a single downpipe and muffler, saving a full 1.24 kg (2.7 lb.). The downpipe also tucks in 74 mm closer to the centre line, improving rider ergonomics.

Race-Proven Suspension

Fully adjustable, the 49 mm Showa USD coil-spring fork is a version of the Showa 'factory' fork supplied to race teams in the Japanese championship. And if that weren't enough, an increased damping force from the R type allows skilled riders to kick it up a notch for higher speeds.
additional features

Titanium Fuel Tank

Grams and performance count, and to keep the weight down, the fuel tank is constructed of titanium. Light and strong, it’s also thinner than our previous plastic unit, freeing up more space and helping to centralize fuel mass.

Smart ECU

The CRF450RWE boasts a specialized ECU with mapping, ignition and injection capabilities -- perfect for riders looking to tune performance up.

Factory Replica

Titanium nitride-coated lower fork legs, black DID LT-X rims, HRC graphics, factory-spec gripper seat… The CRF450RWE is built for speed, and for looking good on the podium.
