Ultimate Performance

Want serious performance and exclusivity? The CRF450RWE gives you all the awesome power and handling of the CRF450R, plus a whole bunch of extra top-shelf features. You’ll spot special components on the Works Edition CRF everywhere you look, including the metallic-red cylinder-head cover on the 449 cc Unicam engine. And there’s good stuff hidden from view, too, such as the hand-ported cylinder head that contributes to an increase in torque throughout the rev range.

Smoother Airflow

To help the CRF450RWE breathe more freely, engineers redesigned the entire air-intake system. A new airbox, new mounting position for the Twin Air dual-layer foam filter, and new intake funnel combine to reduce restrictions to airflow. The result? Better throttle control and more consistent power delivery.

Revised Yoshimura Exhaust

In combination with its less-restrictive air-intake system, the CRF450RWE’s Yoshimura exhaust with straighter airflow for 2025 means smoother engine operation in the mid- to high-rpm range and more-controllable acceleration. As well, an extended header pipe enhances power control at low to mid rpm.

Hydraulic Clutch

Big power requires a strong clutch, and this bike delivers with a smooth-operating hydraulic clutch. Ditching the cable improves consistency, control and feel at the lever. The light lever pull and generous clutch capacity help to maximize power transfer and durability, and to top it off, clutch slip is minimized at peak power. The CRF450RWE also gets a premium clutch basket made by Hinson, and a tasty Hinson clutch cover to top it all off.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) works to minimize rear wheel spin (thus wasted forward drive) and maximize traction. It doesn’t use a wheel-speed sensor, and, importantly, maintains feel at the throttle while managing power — ignition timing and the PGM-FI system are adjusted when the rate of change of RPM goes over a set amount. With three settings plus off to choose from, you can have your bike dialed no matter how much traction there is.

HRC Launch Control

We’re talking about a special ECU program here: push the button to select the mode, hold the throttle open, release the clutch, and the bike will do the rest, launching you into the first turn with a big advantage.

Engine Mode Select Button

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power-delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.

New ECU Settings

Our engineers never stop searching for ways to make it easier to go faster. Revised ECU settings combine with the other chassis and powertrain improvements to make the CRF450RWE an all-around better performer.

chassis & suspension

New Aluminum Fram

The CRF450RWE’s aluminum frame has been radically improved for 2025 with the aim of increasing rigidity and stability. Using 70% new components, Honda engineers have managed to improve torsional and lateral rigidity in every direction, resulting in more-controlled and predictable handling — particularly in rough conditions.

Special Showa Fork

The CRF450RWE also boasts the same extensively revised Showa spring fork as fitted to the R and RX, plus a few special touches.The Kashima-coated outer fork tubes and titanium-coated inner tubes help to prevent nicks, scratches and corrosion, while reducing friction for ultra-smooth operation.

Easier Shock Access

When you’re riding, you’ll appreciate the Pro-Link rear suspension with a new link system that’s less prone to flexing, and the redesigned shock with smoother action. When you’re wrenching, you’ll love the new ease of access to the rear suspension assembly. Removing the shock used to take about 21 minutes, by our watch, but can now be done in about 9 minutes. No more removing the seat, muffler and rear frame. As well, the RWE’s shock features a titanium-coated piston rod for improved durability and reduced friction.

Large Front Brake

The large front-brake disc measures a whopping 260 mm, giving you superior stopping power while also being easy to modulate.

Black Rims

They may not help you go faster, but the black D.I.D® rims sure look good.

Cool Running

Another way the CRF450RWE keeps its cool: a large radiator, with fins that ar esngled for efficient airflow.

additional features

Works Styling

Throttle Jockey seat cover, special graphics on the bodywork. black top and bottom triple clamps, metallic-red cylinder-head cover… the new CRF450RWE would look right at home in a factory team’s paddock, and it’s yours to ride today.

Electric Start

Kickstarting? Maybe if you’re riding in the vintage class, but not here. By ditching the kickstarter entirely, our engineers were able to make a light bike even lighter. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are now so light and so good that putting them on a bike like this is a win/win combination. And winning is what the CRF450RWE is all about.

Smart ECU

The CRF450RWE boasts a special ECU with mapping, ignition and injection adjustment capability — perfect for riders looking to tune performance to perfectly suit track conditions and their riding style.
