2022 Honda® CRF450X RULE THE ROOST

From tight trails to soft sands, nothing delivers off-road excellence like the 2022 Honda CRF450X. Bring the Baja champion to your own backyard, and you’ll get the winning performance of a Honda MX’er with an off-road package that lets you take it anywhere. The compact Unicam® engine offers power without compromise. And the wide-ratio transmission has the perfect gear for nearly every situation, from slow-speed rock crawling to open-desert racing. Each innovation was inspired from countless off-road victories, like a twin-spar aluminum chassis that’s both light and stiff for excellent handling. So, no matter how unpredictable the terrain may be, you can be sure the CRF450X has the performance to take you to the top.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

• WIDE-RATIO SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION

Having six speeds in the CRF450X’s transmission compared to an MX bike’s typical five gives you more choice, and makes this versatile bike even more versatile. You have a gear for everything from east-coast rock crawling to wide-open Baja blasts.

CONVENIENCE

• ELECTRIC STARTER

An electric start system ensures trouble-free starting in all conditions. The electric starter also drives the clutch side of the crankshaft to provide superior lubrication to starter gears while producing a narrow engine with a short, strong crank.

PERFORMANCE

• 449cc UNICAM® ENGINE

Honda’s Unicam cylinder heads combine the best of single- and double-overhead-cam designs. The configuration contributes to a compact engine that saves weight over a comparable dual-overhead-camshaft motor and also permits a narrow included valve angle. This flattens the combustion chamber to facilitate ignition flame propagation, allowing a high compression ratio. Since less space is taken up in the cylinder head, the camshaft sits lower in the head for a more compact engine and a lower center of gravity.

HANDLING

• TWIN-SPAR CHASSIS

The CRF450X uses a twin-spar aluminum chassis that takes advantage of all the lessons we’ve learned on the MX track and from winning countless Bajas. The frame is both light and stiff, and provides the basis for the CRF450X’s excellent handling. The chassis is also wider than the standard MX frame to accommodate the six-speed transmission.
