Engineering

• ENGINE COUNTERBALANCER: Because it features a counterbalancer, the engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single, with the smoothness of a multi-cylinder bike.
• FUEL INJECTION: Fuel injection means it starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency.
• INTEGRATED REAR MASTER CYLINDER: We’ve integrated the rear brake’s fluid reservoir right into the master-cylinder construction. The design is clean, compact, and tucks in making it more damage resistant off-road.
• LARGE SIDESTAND FOOT: We gave it a large sidestand foot. It seems like a small detail, but you’ll appreciate it when riding off-road, or even on-road if you need to park in an asphalt lot on a hot day.

Handling

• FRONT AND REAR WHEELS: A 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel give you a wide selection of tire choices for everything from serious off-road trail riding to smooth on-road adventures.
• DISC BRAKES: Featuring front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel, it’s even available with optional anti-lock brakes (ABS). An added plus: you have the ability to turn the ABS function on and off on the fly, giving you added control and customization, something that is especially nice when riding in the dirt.
• MORE GROUND CLEARANCE: The engine is mounted high in the frame, which allows for a ground clearance of 11.2 inches.
• INVERTED FORK: An inverted Showa® fork features large 43mm sliders. That makes it strong and helps add to the excellent handling in on- and off-road conditions.
• PRO-LINK REAR SUSPENSION: Thanks to our single-shock Pro-Link® rear suspension, it delivers excellent comfort, traction and handling, while also improving rider confidence.
• STRONG STEEL FRAME: The sturdy steel frame is strong and designed to survive in the real world of rough pavement or off-road trails. Plus, because we’ve fine-tuned the frame’s rigidity, now you get even better feedback.

Performance

• SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE: A single is the perfect choice for a bike like this. It's light, simple, and is quite fuel efficient.
• DOUBLE-OVERHEAD-CAM CONSTRUCTION: Honda engines have always been a hallmark of superior engineering. The engine is a perfect example. The double-overhead-cam construction is free-revving, super-efficient, and full of low-maintenance features.

Styling

• CRF450R-INSPIRED BODYWORK: The bodywork design and styling are based on our CRF450R motocross bikes. It’s not only good looking, but functional too, with smooth transitions between the bodywork elements, making it easy to move around.
• SLIM SEAT FRONT: The seat is slim in the front, making it easier to move forward on the bike, or to get your feet down at stops.
• MORE FOOTROOM: The relative position of the engine and footpegs in the chassis give you more foot room, a real bonus when wearing heavy off-road riding boots.
• POLISHED BLACK RIMS: The black rims look great and are easy to keep clean, thanks to their polished surface.

Versatility

• COMFORTABLE SEATING POSITION: With a long, motocross-style seat, you can move forward and back, left and right with ease, helping you navigate changing terrain in comfort.
• CARGO CONVENIENCE: Special cargo hooks make it easy to secure a light load to the passenger seat with bungee cords. It's just another one of the nice touches that help make these bikes so versatile.
• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: The digital instrument cluster has large, easy-to-read numbers and indicators. You also get a speedometer, clock, twin tripmeter, a tachometer, and more.
• PASSENGER READY: With its long seat and fold-up frame-mounted passenger footpegs, it’s fully equipped to carry a passenger so you can share the fun.
