The All New 2017 2. hondacrf.com.au
The All New 2017 CRF450R. Getting the holeshot can be the difference between winning and losing. The all-new CRF450R has been redesigned to nail holeshots and maintain that advantage all the way around the track. A whole new engine produces pro-level performance; while a new frame, suspension and bodywork help put all that power to the ground. With an improved power-weight ratio of 10 percent on the previous model, the all-new CRF450R offers class-leading power and handling backed by the kind of quality only Honda provides. 4. hondacrf.com.au

Advantages New aluminium frame is lighter and gives the CRF450R sharper handling than ever before. Revised Unicam engine has a higher redline, makes more power and features an Engine Mode Select button that allows the rider to alter power delivery to match riding conditions Downdraft intake system, straighter exhaust ports and more aggressive valve timing help boost performance across the powerband. Dual muffler system is shorter and lighter, contributing to more centralised mass for quicker handling. In response to dealer and customer input, an optional accessory electric starter is also available for the 2017 CRF450R. Industry-first titanium fuel tank is lighter and helps lower the bike s centre of mass for quicker steering. New coil spring fork offers fully adjustable rebound and damping to match track conditions. New bodywork with embedded graphics is more durable, narrower and smoother at junctions for maximum rider movement. Premium Dunlop Geomax MX3S motocross tires feature block-in-a-block technology to provide maximum traction in a wide variety of terrain.
ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN Radically revised Unicam engine features a redesigned combustion chamber with a narrower included valve angle that raises the compression ratio and increases torque A new finger-type intake rocker arm assembly and unique oval-shaped valve springs save weight and allow an increase in valve lift for more aggressive tuning and more power. A special low-friction coating on the intake rocker arm and piston pin reduces frictional losses for increased power and durability. Four oil jets cool the piston from below for consistent power and added durability. The new engine uses a common oil supply for both the transmission and cylinder assembly to simplify oil changes, and it features a new scavenging pump that saves weight and improves lubrication. A unique downdraft intake layout dramatically increases airflow for more power. This intake system features bigger valves with double-machined valve seats for increased flow and a redesigned air filter with more surface area and easier servicing. On the exhaust side, the ports and head pipes are straighter for increased flow and more power. The Engine Mode Select button allows riders to choose between standard, smooth and aggressive power curves to best suit track conditions and the off switch is now combined to save weight. Completely redesigned dual-muffler exhaust not only helps boost airflow, but is also shorter than the previous system, saving weight and contributing to greater mass centralisation and a lower centre of gravity for quicker response to rider commands. The Dual-Stage injection system fires two fuel charges into the cylinder during every fuel cycle. The first charge is used to cool the intake valve/port area in order to increase the density of the air/fuel mixture, while the second charge increases the amount of fuel directed into the combustion chamber to improve power and response. Gear-driven balancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump. More compact clutch assembly with fewer, thicker plates narrows engine width. Radiators are narrower and mounted low in the chassis to help lower overall centre of gravity. CHASSIS/SUSPENSION The fuel tank is now fabricated from ultra-lightweight titanium. The fuel tank is carried high in the chassis compared to many components, saving weight and contributing significantly to mass centralisation and handling agility. All-new aluminium frame is shorter and lower and has revised rake and trail steering geometry. The frame itself is lighter and less rigid, improving steering response and tracking through bumps, which keeps the rear tyre hooking up. An extruded subframe shaves weight compared to the previous forged unit, helping to centralise mass. New, lighter aluminium swingarm assembly provides added rigidity thanks to taller beam height in the front and centre sections for less deflection in ruts and better drive exiting corners. A new rear shock with revised valving is mounted lower in the frame, contributing to lower centre of gravity. Additionally, the rear shock has been moved to align with the centre of the bike, increasing overall balance. Up front, a new Showa 49mm fork (up 1mm from last year) utilises coil springs to simplify adjustment, plus all new valving to complement the new chassis. The end result is more stability under acceleration and at speed without compromising the CRFs legendary cornering ability. The 2017 CRF450R comes with the same tyres used by the majority of the AMA Pro paddock: The Dunlop Geomax MX3S. Featuring exclusive block-in-a-block construction that increases traction over a broader range of terrain, the MX3S lets riders get the most out of the CRF450Rs massive power. ADDITIONAL FEATURES New front fender is lower and the radiator shrouds narrower to reduce aerodynamic drag and give the rider more freedom to manoeuvre, but they still increase the airflow to the engine for better cooling. Cross section at the radiators are 30mm narrower than last year, increasing rider manoeuvrability. Graphics are now moulded into the plastic, dramatically increasing durability. Quick-adjust clutch perch allows easy cable adjustment. Aluminium Renthal handlebar (971 bend) is rubber-mounted to help reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort. In response to dealer and customer feedback, an accessory electric starter is also available for the 2017 CRF450R. 8. hondacrf.com.au

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN Unicam engine features a very flat combustion chamber with a narrow included valve angle that raises the compression ratio and increases torque. Revised ignition mapping compared to the CRF450R provides better performance in low-traction situations. Finger-type rocker arm assembly and unique oval-shaped valve springs save weight and allow an increase in valve life for more aggressive tuning and more power. A special low-friction coating on the rocker arm and piston pin reduces frictional losses for increased power and durability. Four oil jets cool the piston from below for consistent power and added durability. Engine uses a common oil supply for both the transmission and cylinder assembly to simplify oil changes, and it features a scavenging pump that saves weight and improves lubrication.
