    Ultra-powerful 449cc Liquid-cooled, Four-stroke Single
    • 449cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke single with four valves
    • Features superb low and mid-range power delivery
    • Linear power curve offers plenty of over-rev, for maximum flexibility in choosing shift points
    • Cam lift and timing boost low-and mid-range torque
    • Camshaft lobes and tappets feature a soft-nitride surface treatment for long wear and high-rpm reliability
    • Hand-finished surfaces of the polished intake ports improve intake efficiency at all rpm
    • Lightweight 36mm titanium intake valves and aluminum valve retainers reduce reciprocating weight for reliable valve control at high rpm
    • 30mm steel exhaust valves for improved durability
    • Double valve springs help ensure stable valve operation
    • Screw-type automatic cam chain tensioner with oil pressure spring
    • Low-friction coating on piston skirt
    • Extra flywheel mass provides ultra-smooth engine power delivery
    • Crankshaft and connecting rod are sintered for additional rigidity
    • Crankshaft, rotor mass centralization, oil circulation, and ignition timing designed for ideal engine braking characteristics
    Exhaust
    • Large 41mm titanium exhaust header for maximum power
    • Tapered exhaust pipe joint helps increase ultra-low rpm power.
    • Titanium exhaust pipe heat shield
    • Silencer uses long-fiber packing for lower maintenance
    Cooling
    • High-capacity Denso radiators deliver superior cooling efficiency
    • A reservoir tank is fitted to the radiator, for efficient cooling during long enduros
    • Slim radiators feature tightly packed cores and fins designed to enhanced heat dispersion
    • The radiator shroud design is optimised for a seated position
    Electric Starting
    • High-capacity starter motor is compact, yet offers high-output to help ensure quick and reliable starts under all conditions
    • Lightweight battery is located under the seat and behind the airbox for optimum mass centralization
    • Having both electric and kick starters means the KLX450R can be quickly restarted if the engine stalls during an event
    • Features highly reliable auto-decompression system; the dual-weight centrifugal decompression system fitted to the exhaust cam eases starting, and its simple construction helps to ensure reliability
    Wide-Ratio Five-Speed Transmission
    • Features ratios selected="true"="true"="true"="true" specially for off-road racing
    • The transmission’s gears are designed for high durability
    • Ball bearing shift lever for smoother shifting
    • Ratchet-type shift mechanism for smoother shifting and a more positive feel
    Frame
    • Lightweight all-aluminum perimeter frame is a composite structure comprising forged, extruded and cast components
    • Slim frame profile, two-piece radiator shrouds, and careful bodywork design make the KLX450R feel light and narrow beneath the rider
    • Aluminum skid plate
    Front Suspension
    • Fork tuning is optimized for light, easy handling characteristics
    • Kayaba AOS (Air-Oil-Separate) fork keeps oil and air in separate chambers for stable damping performance during long rides
    • Large front fork damper cartridges offer a more progressive and plush action
    • Low-friction fork seals help reduce stiction
    Rear Suspension
    • Uni-Trak® rear suspension system mounts the suspension arm below the swingarm, allowing a longer rear suspension stroke.
    • Rear shock features dual compression adjustability, allowing high-speed and low-speed damping to be tuned separately
    • Alloy swingarm uses cast front section, tapered hydroformed spars and forged chain pullers; the tapered spars are shaped to match the balance of flex and rigidity required of the aluminum frame
    • Sprocket style chain roller reduces drive lash
    Brakes
    • Petal brake discs front and rear, help reduce unsprung weight and clean the brake pads for more efficient braking performance
    18” Rear Wheel
    • Durable 18” rear wheel allows fitment of a wide selection of off-road tires
    From the Cockpit
    • Renthal aluminum handlebars are standard
    • Lightweight short-length grips feature a special pattern to reduce vibration transmitted from the bars to the rider
    • Seat is wider than the KX450F’s for additional comfort during long enduros
    • Seat uses a slip-resistant top surface for good grip when seated and smooth sides for excellent rider mobility
    Off-Road Racing Equipment
    • Lightweight digital instrumentation includes a speedometer, twin tripmeter, odometer and clock
    • Lightweight 2.1 gallon fuel tank is constructed to meet strict U.S. environmental regulations
    • Gas tank petcock is fitted with a reserve pickup
    • Compact lighting package includes a 35 W headlight with lightweight plastic lens
    • Ultra-compact and energy efficient LED tail light
    • Two-piece construction of the left-side cover with a special “door” for easy access to the air filter
    • Engine guards protect both sides of the engine
    • Includes an aluminum skid plate for added protection from rocks and ledges
    • Sealed chain and a side stand are fitted as standard equipment
    • California models feature a secondary air system to enable them to meet strict emissions regulations
