HONDA CRF450X (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, Honda, the Japanese motorcycle and car maker, released the Honda CRF450X, an off-road motorcycle part of the second generation of the CRF450X series. It was in the ninth consecutive production year and packed the same specifications as previous ones without any changes.

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.

The CRF450X's visual department was characterized by features like a high-mounted front fender, an inverted fork with slider covers, a single seat, a single exhaust system with a high-mounted silencer, a silencer cover, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

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.

Braking-wise, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with 240 mm brake discs, one on the front and one on the rear. The front one was clamped by a dual piston caliper while the rear one was tied also to a hydraulic caliper.

The 2013 Honda CRF450X was powered by a 449cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 40 mm flat-side Keihin carburetor. It boasted 45 hp at 7,500 rpm and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
