New 2021 Honda CRF450X Dirt Bike Motorcycle

Life is full of compromises—unless you’re riding a Honda CRF450X. What we’ve done here is take the light weight, responsive handling, and cutting-edge performance of our CRF450R motocrosser and put it into an awesome off-road package that doesn’t give up a thing. In fact, we think it makes the CRF450X better in every way for the serious off-road rider. You get a legendary engine tuned for the way off-roaders ride, a wide-ratio six-speed gearbox, aluminum chassis, electric starter, and long-travel suspension. And this year there are new handguards, and a super-crisp new styling and graphics package. Factory riders and privateers use this machine to get to the top of the podium in Baja. You’re going to find it turns your weekends into you own private podium performances, too.

• HANDGUARDS: You asked; we listened. The 2021 CRF450X now comes with factory handguards as standard equipment. Exclusively designed for the off-road rider and manufactured to Honda standards, they help protect you from rocks, branches, thorns and brush. Plus, it gives your CRF450X that “finished” look, right from the start.
• GEAR-DRIVEN COUNTERBALANCER: The Gear-Driven Counterbalancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump. Eight clutch plates provide the surface area necessary to handle the engine’s massive torque, while carefully matched clutch springs provide a light feel at the lever.
• WORKS MX STYLING: For 2021, we gave the CRF450X some super-crisp styling and graphics. The “X” looks like our MX bikes because it’s derived from them—the smooth bodywork makes it easy to move around, and the in-mold graphics not only look cool but are durable, too.
• SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS: Placing the rider’s legs at the narrowest part of the frame helps improve comfort and handling.
• SIDESTAND: Hey, a sidestand may seem like no big thing, but take a look at the one the CRF450X uses. Tucked up high and out of the way, this forged alloy piece is just another example of how the CRF450X gets it right.
• FUEL MILEAGE METER: An important feature for planning gas stops and calculating your bike’s range under varying conditions, the Fuel Mileage Meter shows current fuel mileage and average fuel mileage as well as fuel consumption. Displays in either miles or kilometers, and applies to both the A and B tripmeters. The Fuel Mileage Meter is in the same digital instrument display as the speedometer, odometer, tripmeters and digital clock.
