2021 Honda CRF450RX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2021 Honda CRF450RX enduro - offroad motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 96.0 x 62.0 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 13.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the CRF450RX measures 113.9 kg (251 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 965 mm (38 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,481 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.95-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
