The best 450 on the track - better than ever
The best 450 on the track - better than ever
First, we've changed the rear shock linkage so you get a softer start and a stiffer finish. It responds to small bumps better, but still resists bottoming over really big hits. Fine-tuning the rear travel helps with steering during hard braking and on long, fast downhill sections. At the front, new fork outer tubes are stiffer for better feedback and superior tracking in heavy dirt, mud, and sand sections. New springs and suspension settings front and rear keep the balance right and increase steering precision. And we've even given the 2012 CRF450R wider, longer foot pegs for better grip and comfort and fitted it with premium Dunlop MX51 tires for superior traction in corners and under acceleration.
All in all, the CRF450R is the most dialed-in open-class MX bike we've ever rolled up to the start. Contact Honda Wing Umhlanga on 031 580 7900 or visit our showroom at 15 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge and take a CBR450R for a ride.
