Review
The 2017 Honda CRF450XRL is an off-road motorcycle designed for both recreational riding and challenging trails. Its 449.7cc engine produces 29.4 HP at 9000 RPM and 24.2 Nm of torque at 8000 RPM, offering a balance of manageable power and torque. The five-speed gearbox provides versatility for various terrains. With a seat height of 958 mm (37.7 inches), it accommodates a wide range of riders. The front suspension consists of a 47mm inverted Showa cartridge fork with 16-position rebound and compression-damping adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension for optimal performance. The braking system features double front discs with two-piston calipers, providing enhanced stopping power. The 7.30-liter (1.93 US gallons) fuel tank provides a decent range for trail rides. The CRF450XRL is designed for riders who enjoy exploring off-road environments with a focus on comfort and control. Its balanced engine, adjustable suspension, and enhanced braking make it a versatile machine for a variety of riding situations. It is a good choice for riders looking for a capable and user-friendly off-road experience.

⚠️ Things to consider

• Heavier than pure enduro bikes, impacting agility in extremely tight singletrack and during recovery from falls. • Softer suspension setup compared to R-model CRFs, requiring upgrades for aggressive racing or very fast riding. • Limited fuel range with the stock tank, necessitating frequent refueling on longer adventure rides. • Not ideal for sustained high-speed highway travel due to engine characteristics and lack of wind protection. • Higher initial purchase price compared to some more basic dual-sport or trail-focused motorcycles.
