2020 Honda Off Road (CRF450R/WE) Motorcycle
For 2020, Honda's flagship CRF450R—the same platform raced by Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen and Cole Seely—puts more engine-management choices at the fingertips of racers.
CRF450R 2020 Updates
-All-new Honda Selectable Torque Control with three levels of intervention. HSTC monitors rpm spikes and responds by temporarily reducing torque to aid rear traction. A handlebar-mounted switch allows selection between three modes, depending on conditions and rider preference.
-Revised mapping for riding modes in Standard, Smooth and Aggressive options, selectable via a separate handlebar-mounted switch, enables simple tuning depending on rider preference or course conditions.
-Revised internal fork and shock settings for improved chassis balance and overall handling.
-Battery position lowered by 28mm moves center of gravity downward to further improve chassis balance and handling.
-New rear brake-pad material for improved performance and increased durability.
-Elimination of lower rear brake-rotor guard, to improve heat dissipation and reduce unsprung weight.
-Updated graphics.
Engine/Drivetrain
-449cc single-cylinder engine with Unicam cylinder head, downdraft intake tract, electronic fuel injection and electric start offers unparalleled "Absolute Holeshot" performance.
-Selectable HRC launch control provides a steady stream of torque for excellent performance on race starts.
-Electric starter (powered by a lightweight lithium-ion battery).
-Shift sensor allows a dedicated ignition map for each gear, enabling optimum running.
Chassis/Suspension
-Twin-spar aluminum frame engineered for great traction and cornering feel, and to minimize weight.
-Chassis layout allows heavier components to be located as centrally and low as possible for nimble handling and feel.
-Front-brake caliper uses a pair of pistons (30mm and 27mm) for optimal braking performance on a 260mm rotor with a petal pattern to best dissipate heat.
-Showa shock and 49mm coil-spring fork.
-Front brake hose resists expansion for precise, consistent braking feel.
-Top triple clamp has two handlebar-clamp locations for moving the handlebar back and forth by 26mm. With reversible handlebar clamp enabling an additional 10mm of adjustment from the base position, there are a total of four different handlebar positions.
-Black Renthal Fatbar handlebar encourages active riding position, while also contributing to light steering feel.
-Footpegs shed mud and give the rider great feel and confidence in all riding conditions.
-Lightweight, compact 1.66 gallon titanium fuel tank keeps weight to a minimum.
-Black D.I.D rims deliver a strong presence on and off the track.
-Minimization of lines and gaps in the plastic panels results in a smooth surface, facilitating riding-position changes.
-In-mold graphics are durable and resistant to peeling caused by washing or abrasion.
-Available only through Honda dealers, Dunlop Geomax MX3S tires provide superior bump absorption and excellent grip.
CRF450RWE 2020 Updates Above The 450R
Following a successful debut year in which it quickly caught the eye of performance-hungry enthusiasts who demand the absolute best, the CRF450RWE "Works Edition" gets even better for 2020, with updates based on the machines in the Team Honda HRC factory race shop.
-Titanium Yoshimura header pipe for reduced weight and increased power.
-Renthal dual-compound Kevlar grips
-Red-plastic number plates to match look of Team Honda HRC factory bikes.
-Updated Throttle Jockey graphics to match look of Team Honda HRC factory bikes, with abbreviated side-panel pieces for improved durability.
Engine/Drivetrain
Unique cylinder head with factory hand-polished ports improves torque feeling from low to midrange, especially between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm, for even quicker lap times.
-ECU settings optimize performance advantages of the Yoshimura exhaust and cylinder-head.
Chassis/Suspension
-Kashima fork-tube coating reduces friction and improves handling performance. Developed by Miyaki Company of Japan, Kashima coating is a special treatment for hard-anodized finishes that fills the micro-pores on the surface of hard-anodized aluminum for better lubrication and reduced stiction.
-Titanium nitride coating on fork legs enhances suspension feel.
-Shock shaft processed with Super Finisher and coated with titanium nitride for superior performance.
-Strong D.I.D LT-X rims with special laser-engraved logo.
-High-performance gold RK chain.
-Throttle Jockey factory Team Honda HRC seat cover for enhanced grip during acceleration.
-Top and bottom triple clamps in black complement high-end look.
