HONDA CRF450X (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The second generation of the CRF450X comprised models manufactured between 2008 and 2017. The second generation had a few modifications, including, a smaller fuel tank, a steering damper, and a revised accelerator pump.

The Honda CRF was a series of off-road, trail, and dual-sport motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2000. It succeeded the Honda CR series and comprised models with different engine displacements.

In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF450X, an off-road machine, for the sixth consecutive production year. It wore the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any modifications.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 47 mm fully adjustable cartridge-type Showa fork on the front with 315 mm of travel and a Pro-Link swingarm tied to an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with 315 mm of travel.

A 240 mm brake disc clamped by a dual-piston caliper mounted on the front and a 240 mm brake disc with a hydraulic caliper mounted on the rear achieved braking performance that kept the motorcycle safe.

Regarding power, the 2011 Honda CRF450X's heartbeat was set by a 449cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered a power output of 45 hp at 7,500 rpm and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

When released in 2011, the Honda CRF450X was for sale at an MSRP of $7,900.
