2027 Honda CRF450RL

2027 Honda® CRF450RLRide Without LimitsThe CRF450RL delivers race-inspired off-road performance with the freedom to ride beyond the trailhead. Based on the CRF450R platform and refreshed with updated styling for 2027, it features an agile chassis, factory handguards, a sturdy skid plate, and a wide-ratio six-speed transmission for exceptional dual-sport versatility. From technical trails to connecting roads, the CRF450RL is built to take you wherever the adventure leads.Features may include:Engine & Drivetrain450 cc Unicam® EngineDerived from the championship-winning CRF450R engine, Honda Unicam® engine technology combines strong, responsive power with a compact, lightweight design. Its lower centre of gravity contributes to agile handling, delivering the performance needed for challenging trails and the versatility to take on the road.Fuel InjectionThe proven fuel-injection system delivers strong torque and precise throttle response, particularly in the low-rpm range. It also automatically compensates for changes in elevation and riding conditions.Titanium Intake & Exhaust ValvesLightweight titanium intake and exhaust valves allows the use of smaller valve springs, helping to reduce overall engine height.Wide-Ratio Six-Speed TransmissionThe CRF450RL's wide-ratio six-speed transmission is engineered for dual-sport performance. Lower gearing provides excellent control in challenging off-road conditions, while the taller top gear offers comfortable cruising on paved roads, making it easy to ride to the trail and beyond.Electric FanDesigned to handle a variety of riding conditions, the CRF450RL features an electric cooling fan that helps maintain optimal engine temperature, especially during slow-speed, technical riding.Final-Drive Sprocket DamperThis bike features a dampened final-drive sprocket designed to reduce drivetrain noise while preserving lightweight performance, helping deliver a refined riding experience both on and off road.Inertia-Tuned CrankThe crankshaft features 13% more inertia than the CRF450R's, helping smooth power delivery and improve rideability in challenging off-road terrain.Gear-Driven CounterbalancerThe gear-driven counterbalancer helps minimize engine vibration for a smoother ride and also drives the water pump. It's an example of clever Honda engineering that serves two purposes at once.Electric StartAn electric start system ensures easy starting in all conditions. The starter drives the clutch side of the crankshaft for improved lubrication of the starter gears, while also contributing to a narrow engine and a short, strong crankshaft.Chassis & SuspensionTwin-Spar ChassisThe twin-spar aluminum frame combines rigidity with responsive handling. Its chassis geometry is optimized for dual-sport performance, while the frame accommodates the CRF450RL's six-speed transmission.18-inch Rear WheelThe 18-inch rear wheel provides an excellent range of tire options for both on- and off-road use.IRC GP TiresThe IRC GP tires are designed to provide reliable traction across a variety of on- and off-road conditions while delivering durable performance.
