Last year, ATV Sport dubbed Honda the "Most Influential OEM" in the industry. No surprise, considering everything Honda performance and engineering stand for is embodied in the machine you see here. From the Baja 1000 to the GNC MX series, the TRX450R has been winning pretty much everything it enters since day one. The only decision you need to make, then, is how you want to start it: kick or electric?
- Powerful four-stroke 450cc liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam engine
- Kickstart version incorporates ATV-type forward kickstarting for ease of starting and light weight
- Durable five-speed transmission with low ratios designed to match engine power characteristics
- Pro-Link rear suspension
- Independent double-wishbone, double A-arm front suspension
- Gear driven balancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump.
