Getting a grip on the dual-sport game isn't easy, but the 2025 Honda CRF450RL makes it look like a cakewalk. This isn't just a motocrosser with a plate slapped on. It's a genius blend of the battle-hardened CRF450X, now sporting a six-speed transmission and tweaked chassis for better poise and push. And those fresh 2025 graphics are the icing on the cake. Light, agile, and ready to tear up anything from gnarly trails to city streets—no truck, no trailer, no limits. The CRF450RL is your ticket to the ultimate two-wheeled freedom.
Features may include:
VERSATILITYStreet-legal in all 50 states, this motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter and can be ridden off-road almost anywhere. You can ride it on public lands, roads, and state and national parks. Plus, you won't need to haul your bike to the trailhead.
CONVENIENCEAn electric start system ensures easy starting in all conditions. The electric starter also drives the clutch side of the crankshaft to provide superior lubrication to the starter gears while producing a narrow engine with a short, strong crank.
PERFORMANCEThe Unicam® cylinder-head engine is a hybrid design based on our championship-winning CRF450R. It is lighter, has a lower center of gravity, and a higher compression ratio than the previous generation, all designed to improve the outright power and performance.
ENGINEERINGSimilar to the 450X, the 450RL features a six-speed wide-ratio gearbox. This allows for the low gear to be excellent in slow, tight situations and a high gear that is tall enough for highway riding to the next trailhead or gas stop.
