The ‘Race Red’ Program is designed to support Honda racing customers through the Honda dealer network, to ensure opportunity is given to those looking to progress in our sport. Access to the program will be based on submission of an application via your local Honda dealer, where you’ll get access if approved, to racing Honda products and an affordable unit to race.
The Honda CRF450RX is engineered for cross-country dominance, combining a compact, high-performance engine with a lightweight, agile chassis.
