Based on the benchmark-setting YZ450F motocrosser, the WR450F is made to be versatile. Lighter, more compact, and with a lower centre of gravity, the WR450F packs enhanced performance in the bush at all speeds. With a more tractable and longer pulling engine, revised ECU settings, improved chassis, lightweight brake system and more, the WR450F offers increased performance and handling in the toughest off-road conditions.
Features may include:
Lighter, more compact with increased power across the entire rev range, the high performance 450cc engine on the WR450F runs revised ECU settings that also enhance low-end tractability.
An advanced aluminum bilateral beam frame with a 15mm lower headtube and WR450F-specific front engine mounts provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect combination of straight-line stability and cornering performance. With a lower centre of gravity, the WR450F is a better handling machine with lighter feel, more agility and increased traction, allowing the rider to tackle tight, technical trail sections with greater confidence.
The WR450F's slimmer, flatter, and more compact body eases rider movement for improved control, including more seamless, rounded seat edges, revised side covers and narrower shrouds. The rider triangle is also optimized for increased legroom between the seat and footpegs for a more natural posture and enhanced rider comfort.
