Pro-Link rear suspension
Fully adjustable, the rear shock features 17-position rebound adjustment; compression damping is separated into 13-position (low-speed) and 3.5 turns (high speed).
Built for those riders wanting to ride from door to dirt and beyond, the CRF450RE is set to be the competitive enduro rider’s bike of choice. Based on the potent CRF450RE, it’s equipped to be road legal* without losing any of the CRF450RE’s punchy characteristics.
* The CRF450RE is a Road Legal off-road model, suitable for minor/limited road use only. Extended road use may invalidate warranty.
The CRF450RE has been equipped as a hard hitting competitive enduro machine for limited road use and extended riding time with a lighting kit (without indicators), digital speedo, side stand, road legal tyres and slip-on twin pipes. Hand guards provide protection for when blasting through narrow trails and woodland scrub. It comes with a V55/1 to allow it to be registered for road use.
A combination of power, poise and pin-sharp agility, devastatingly fast.
Fully adjustable, the rear shock features 17-position rebound adjustment; compression damping is separated into 13-position (low-speed) and 3.5 turns (high speed).
The Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB) operates from the handlebar. Mode 1 delivers balanced power and torque. Mode 2 is all about fine throttle control in slippery conditions, while Mode 3 delivers aggressive, all-out power and instant response.
Freedom to move is at the heart of the CRF450RE’s shape. For 2015, new Black CRF decals and detailing give a factory racer look and black radiator grills help out a hard-to-clean area.
A larger 260mm wave-pattern front disc improves heat dissipation, power and feel from the two-piston brake caliper working it; a matching 240mm wave-pattern disc and single-piston caliper is at the rear.
Revised PGM-FI Dual Fuel settings and big-bore twin rear mufflers help the CRF450RE jump hard out of turns, with elastic power that keeps on going and precise throttle control.
Power and control.
The CRF450RE takes control of punishing terrain with its combination of super reactive 48mm Showa air front forks and the compact steering damper that provides aggressive steering geometry without giving up anything in high-speed handling. Whether the conditions be slick and wet or dry and grippy, power delivery from the fuel injected motor can be tuned via the 3-way handlebar mounted Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB) making it simple to suit the conditions and rider’s preference in any given riding scenario.
The Separate Front Function AIR (forks) has been developed for the CRF450RE. The fully adjustable right fork leg controls both compression and rebound damping force while the left leg compresses air using a damper-less structure achieving controlled balance, accurate tracking and super-fast reaction over bumps. Three chambers in the left leg manage ‘spring’ rate: the Balance chamber operates at low speed, the Inner chamber is responsible for the mid-range stroke and the Outer Cylinder chamber is used near full compression.
Airborne agility is thanks in part to the aluminium twin-beam frame that keeps weight distribution low and neutral.
Easy access to the air adjuster allows quick and precise adjustments in the paddock.
