Set a course for your favorite trail, and turn the world into your playground, on the incredible 2022 Honda CRF450RL. It's engineered to help you go hard over the most technical terrain, and equipped with everything you need for an easy ride home. That starts with the legendary 449cc Unicam® engine packing serious power. And a wide-ratio six-speed transmission that can handle anything from slow-speed maneuvers, up to highway-speed riding. Featuring the famous CRF lightweight twin-spar aluminum chassis, premium long-travel suspension, factory handguards, and all the modern innovations you'd expect on a street-legal dirt bike. Put them together, and you have the performance to ride over almost anything, with the versatility to go everywhere.
FULLY STREET LEGAL & OFF-ROAD CAPABLE
The CRF450RL is equipped with a catalytic converter and is fully street legal in all 50 states--and off-road capable just about anywhere on the planet. That means you can ride it wherever it's legal to operate a motor vehicle--in state and national parks, on the road, on public lands. Plus, you don't need to haul your bike to the trailhead in a truck or on a trailer. Best of all, it makes finding gas (or lunch) a breeze.
ELECTRIC START
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.
449CC UNICAM® ENGINE
The CRF450RL's Unicam® cylinder-head combines the best of single- and double-overhead-cam designs and shares its DNA with our championship-winning CRF450R. The configuration saves weight compared to a dual-overhead-camshaft motor, and the camshaft sits lower in the head for a more compact engine and a lower center of gravity. You also get a narrow included valve angle that flattens the combustion chamber for better ignition flame propagation and a high compression ratio.
FUEL INJECTION
The CRF450RL features our proven fuel injection system. It's part of the reason the CRF450RL offers such excellent torque and spot-on metering and response, especially in the critical low-rpm range. It also automatically compensates for elevation and weather changes.
WIDE-RATIO SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
Like our CRF450X, the CRF450RL rocks a wide-ratio six-speed gearbox. That gives you a low gear perfect for tight, slow situations, and a top gear that's tall enough for highway riding to the next gas stop or trailhead.
DUAL RADIATORS
The CRF450RL's dual radiators feature a refined core area for superior heat dissipation compared with conventional dual-radiator designs. A coolant recovery tank is located in front of the engine between the frame downtubes for improved center of mass, and the tank is protected by a plastic skid plate.
18-INCH REAR WHEEL
The CRF450RL's 18-inch rear wheel gives you an excellent choice of on/off-road tires.
IRC GP TIRES
The CRF450RL's tires give you good off-road traction and on-road life. Tires are always a critical part of any on/off-road bike, and we've hooked you up with some great ones here.
FACTORY HANDGUARDS
The 2022 CRF450RL comes with handguards installed right from the factory. They're fully integrated, too, not like some aftermarket add-ons. They attach right to the control-lever pivots, are color-matched to your new bike, and are even vented.
BLACK DID RIMS
They may not help you go faster, but the sweet black DID DirtStar rims sure look good.
