If you’re looking for the absolute best of the best, check out our CRF450RWE Works Edition. It adds special touches like an exclusive Yoshimura exhaust, Twin Air filter, Throttle Jockey seat cover, Hinson clutch basket and cover, premium DID DirtStar LT-X rims, Kashima and titanium oxide-coated fork, a red cylinder head cover, and hands-on touches like special cylinder-head porting. No wonder the Honda CRF450R Works Edition is considered the ultimate Honda motocrosser!

Features may include:

• Ultimate Performance

Want serious performance and exclusivity? The CRF450RWE gives you all the awesome power and handling of the CRF450R, plus a whole bunch of extra top-shelf features. You’ll spot special components on the Works Edition CRF everywhere you look, including the metallic-red cylinder-head cover on the 449 cc Unicam engine. And there’s good stuff hidden from view, too, such as the hand-ported cylinder head that contributes to an increase in torque throughout the rev range.

• Smoother Airflow

To help the CRF450RWE breathe more freely, engineers redesigned the entire air-intake system. A new airbox, new mounting position for the Twin Air dual-layer foam filter, and new intake funnel combine to reduce restrictions to airflow. The result? Better throttle control and more consistent power delivery.

• Revised Yoshimura Exhaust

In combination with its less-restrictive air-intake system, the CRF450RWE’s Yoshimura exhaust with straighter airflow for 2025 means smoother engine operation in the mid- to high-rpm range and more-controllable acceleration. As well, an extended header pipe enhances power control at low to mid rpm.

• New Aluminum Frame

The CRF450RWE’s aluminum frame has been radically improved for 2025 with the aim of increasing rigidity and stability. Using 70% new components, Honda engineers have managed to improve torsional and lateral rigidity in every direction, resulting in more-controlled and predictable handling — particularly in rough conditions.

• Special Showa Fork

The CRF450RWE also boasts the same extensively revised Showa spring fork as fitted to the R and RX, plus a few special touches.The Kashima-coated outer fork tubes and titanium-coated inner tubes help to prevent nicks, scratches and corrosion, while reducing friction for ultra-smooth operation.

• Easier Shock Access

When you’re riding, you’ll appreciate the Pro-Link rear suspension with a new link system that’s less prone to flexing, and the redesigned shock with smoother action. When you’re wrenching, you’ll love the new ease of access to the rear suspension assembly. Removing the shock used to take about 21 minutes, by our watch, but can now be done in about 9 minutes. No more removing the seat, muffler and rear frame. As well, the RWE’s shock features a titanium-coated piston rod for improved durability and reduced friction.
