Honda Australia has announced its 2027 CRF450 and CRF250 competition motorcycle lineup, headlined by what the company describes as the most comprehensive redesign of the CRF450R in a decade.
The 2027 CRF450R features a lighter, more powerful engine alongside extensive upgrades to its suspension and chassis.
Honda says the changes deliver more controllable power, enhanced stability and improved performance across a wide range of track conditions.
The bike was developed with direct input from HRC factory programs competing at the highest levels of racing.
The same engine, chassis and suspension improvements extend to the CRF450 Works Edition and CRF450RX.
The CRF250R, CRF250R Works Edition and CRF250RX will receive targeted updates for 2027. Honda says the CRF250R range will gain targeted suspension upgrades that improve consistency and rider feel while maintaining the level of performance riders expect.
Chris Schultz, General Manager of Powersports and Products at Honda Australia, said Honda’s long-term commitment to off-road riding and performance was best exemplified by the overhaul of the CRF450.
He said Honda engineers were working in collaboration with HRC teams globally to design and build bikes that are durable and capable of winning at the highest levels of the sport.
Expressions of interest for the CRF450R and CRF450RWE will open in Q3, with the motorcycles arriving in Q4.
