2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC

State of art technology

This new technology is brought together in the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package, basically the state of the art in dynamic performance control, a multi-patented system that makes Superbike winning technology available to professional racing riders and hobby riders alike. All this comes in an easy to use, intuitive package.

Gambar Motor 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC, 480x360 pixels
2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Review

FROM APRILIA'S DOMINATION IN THE WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, THE MOTORCYCLE THAT ALREADY SET NEW STANDARDS FOR THE SUPERSPORTS STREET BIKE GENRE: APRILIA RSV4 FACTORY APRC.

A SYMBOL OF THE “RACE READY” BIKE, RSV4 FACTORY APRC IS EVEN FASTER AND SAFER ON THE TRACK TODAY THANKS TO THE APRC DYNAMIC CONTROLS PACKAGE.

THREE INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS PATENTED BY APRILIA WHICH CONSTANTLY MONITOR THE DYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE BIKE AND OPERATE ON THE ENGINE CONTROL TO SUPPORT THE RIDER IN REACHING MAXIMUM RACING SPEED.

Racing heritage

Created with the single-minded goal of being simply the best on the track and on the road, since its inception the Aprilia RSV4 has astonished the world with its looks, technology and performance. The first 65° V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride By Wire, multimap engine management: all these are accomplished achievements for the Aprilia RSV4, that tops unique architecture and specs with Aprilia's signature excellent rideability brought to the next level.

Gambar Motor 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC 1But records are made to be broken. Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of the Aprilia R&D department and a very close collaboration between Racing Department and production, the Aprilia RSV4 has made a giant leap forward.

The RSV4 Factory APRC is a milestone in the history of super sport bikes. All of the racing expertise and indications gathered during the successful 2010 season of World Champion Max Biaggi were brought together in a bike that sets a new standard for future road bike development.

Unique adjustable traction control capable of self-adjusting to suit different types of tyres, wheelie control, launch control, quick shift: these are the RSV4 Factory APRC's new features that raise the bar in track performance even further up.

Aprilia's technological supremacy meant that every aspect of the electronic management system for the RSV4 Factory SBK, with which Max Biaggi dominated the 2010 World Superbike Championship, could be developed in house. As a result of the innovative know how developed on the circuit and the close collaboration between the team, the Racing Division and the manufacturing division, the transfer of this technology from the track to production was practically instantaneous. This is how the Aprilia people were able to turn out the fastest, most effective bike on the track, a bike whose only goal is to post the fastest lap.

State of art technology

This new technology is brought together in the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package, basically the state of the art in dynamic performance control, a multi-patented system that makes Superbike winning technology available to professional racing riders and hobby riders alike. All this comes in an easy to use, intuitive package.

Gambar Motor 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC 2Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC's improvements are not limited to the electronic management system. The 65° V4 engine offers improved lubrication and closer spaced gears for better acceleration. The new, lighter exhaust features an advanced butterfly valve management system to suit the Ride By Wire mapping for improved breathing and efficiency throughout the RPM range.

In addition, the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC is the first super sport bike sporting the homologated new-generation extra performance dual blend 200/55 tyres developed in collaboration with Pirelli based on the expertise gathered on World Superbike racing circuits.

2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Key Features

All of the innovations on the Factory APRC

The new features introduced in the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC in detail:

APRC Aprilia Performance Ride Control, the electronic management package including:
- ATC: Aprilia Traction Control automatically adjusts to different types of tyres, with 8 settings conveniently selectable while racing from a joystick on the left handlebar without turning down the throttle;
- AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control with three settings;
- ALC: Aprilia Launch Control, for use on the track only, with 3 settings;
- AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, for ultra-fast shifting without closing the throttle or using the clutch.

Dual display mode for instrument panel display: ROAD and RACE;
New exhaust is lighter and offers improved performance;
Optimised gear ratios for the utmost track performance;
Improved engine lubrication;
New, exclusive 200/55 dual blend rear tyre.

2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Features and Benefits

APRC APRILIA PERFORMANCE RIDE CONTROL

This is the most significant among the new features of the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC, a technology platform that is one step above any other systems available in the market, not yet available on all racing bikes. The transfer of know-how from racing to production has resulted in an electronic management system that is extremely sophisticated but also intuitive and very user friendly.

Gambar Motor 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC 3The APRC package uses an automotive inertial sensor platform with two gyrometers and two accelerometers allowing the ECU to recognise the dynamic conditions of the bike and adapt the engine management parameters accordingly. The rider can adjust any component of the APRC system independently at will.

ATC: the traction control system of the future
The ATC- Aprilia Traction Control undoubtedly is one of the greatest strengths of the APRC package. This is a fully innovative traction control system developed from an Aprilia patent, mainly focussed on helping the rider improve his lap times. Thanks to the inertial platform and the Ride By Wire pioneered by Aprilia, the ATC not only reduces torque when the rear wheel slips but lets the rider control tail sliding when exiting a bend, giving him a better feel for throttle control, depending on lean angle.
Aprilia ATC is quickly, easily activated from the instrument panel menu and offers 8 settings. When the ATC is enabled, the rider can change setting in an instant at any time using a joystick on the left handlebar to suit track, pavement or tyre conditions, without closing the throttle and keeping his hands on the handlebar, as in professional motorcycle racing. This way, the system can adjust to every single bend of any track so as to meet the specific requirements of any rider, including the most expert ones.
The other incredible achievement of Aprilia technology is the system's "learning capacity". Current traction control systems are designed and optimised for a single size and type of tyre. This limit frequently cancels the benefits of traction control. Aprilia Traction Control (ATC) has overcome this limit: a procedure activated by the rider enables the system to learn the tyre radius and final ratio adopted on the bike to obtain fine-tuned traction control.

AWC: stability at top acceleration
Exploiting the full power of modern superbikes down to the very last HP is every rider's dream. Aprilia's AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control) has achieved extraordinary results. Thanks to the exclusive Aprilia patented Wheelie Detection System, the AWC is able to “tell” when a wheelie begins and ends and kicks in to smoothen wheel contact with the road. Smooth, soft wheelie management avoids harsh power cuts or pick-up, providing perfect acceleration control. Again, the AWC system is activated from the instrument panel and can be adjusted independently from other control systems choosing from three settings to better meet rider requirements.

ALC: the best holeshot
The perfect start is yet another racer's dream, because a good start frequently means you're half way towards a victory. When the lights go out, handling the huge power of modern superbikes is no easy task. Unless the bike handles it itself to offer its best starting performance. The ALC (Aprilia Launch Control) system ensures an instant start as the lights go out, applying full power to the road to assist the rider in this critical moment of the race. All the rider needs to do is give full throttle and release the clutch as he normally would and shift gears. The ALC has three settings that can be selected from the instrument panel menu, then it must be “armed” at standstill, by squeezing both traction control buttons on the left handlebar joystick at the same time.

AQS: record-breaking shifting
When you're after the utmost lap performance, you can't afford to waste even one thousandth of a second in an apparently simple operation like shifting. RSV4 Factory APRC is the first Aprilia bike that comes with the Aprilia Quick Shift as standard. Basically, the quick shift shortens spark advance for an instant and then gradually restores it, making for super-fast shifting with no need to close the throttle or use the clutch. The system works hand in hand with the new closer spaced gearbox to limit RPM drop during shifting for faster lap times. To optimise AQS performance, Aprilia engineers have fine-tuned power cut timing based on shifting RPM.

THE MOTORCYCLE

A combination of superior mechanical and electronic technologies can only lead to excellent rideability. "Factory" is the key word that evokes the world of racing and special bikes, for special riders who demand top sport riding performance. Prestigious materials, an ultra-sophisticated suspension and the APRC system make the RSV4 Factory APRC quite simply the most advanced and highest performance sports bike on the track.

The RSV4 Factory APRC aims to be the perfect tool for riders who demand top track performance from their bikes. Sophisticated, valuable, refined – this bike is the best in motorcycling technology worldwide. In addition to the structural and mechanical refinement of the RSV4 Factory – in this MY2011 – we have prestigious materials, modifications to make it lighter and increase engine performance, and the APRC package which allows dynamic management of the bike on a professional level with an easy and intuitive interface.

This project is designed for those who want top riding performance on the track at a price/equipment ratio unequalled in its class.

RSV4 Factory APRC is the RSV4 at the nth power, direct descendent of the World Superbike winner.

RSV4 Factory APRC highlights:
• APRC fitted as standard
• Fuel system with variable length intake ducts
• Advanced exhaust butterfly valve management
• 3-point adjustable chassis
• Öhlins fully adjustable front fork
• Öhlins fully adjustable shock absorber

THE ENGINE

While the incredible APRC system is without a doubt the most important new feature introduced with this latest version of the RSV4, there has also been a raft of significant updates made to the engine of the RSV4 Factory APRC, drawn from experience in competion to improve its already legendary technical and mechanical characteristics.

Aprilia RSV4 is the only production super sport bike using a narrow 65° V four-cylinder engine with unique features. Extremely compact, as slim as a twin-cylinder to fit in an ultra-compact chassis, the 65° V4 engine was and still is the epitome of Italian engineering ingenuity.

The Aprilia 65° V4 engine specifications in short:

Engine capacity: 999.6 cc
Architecture: 65° V4
Crankcase: monobloc with integrated crankcase liners
Timing system: 4 valves per cylinder (Titanium and Nymonic) operated directly by a camshaft driven by a mixed chain/gear system, lateral timing chain, central gear train
Fuel system: Electronic injection with 2 injectors per cylinder and integrated independent Ride by Wire system for each bank. Three mappings selectable from handlebar.
Antivibration countershaft
Compression ratio: 13:1
Transmission: 6-speed direct-control cassette type gearbox
Clutch: Multiplate wet clutch with mechanical slipper system
Electronic management: Magneti Marelli control unit managing ignition, injection and Ride by Wire system, and variable length intake ducts
APRC system for dynamic control

The narrow V architecture translates into an engine that is incredibly compact in length, offering advantages in terms of mass centralisation and an extremely high performance chassis (short wheelbase, long swingarm).
The innovative timing system (with the chain camshaft driving only the intake camshaft, which in turn drives the exhaust camshaft via a gear) has made extremely compact heads (just 250 mm at the rear of the engine) especially in the area beneath the frame spars, which are thus much narrower than would otherwise be possible.
A countershaft dampens vibrations even more than in a 90° V engine.
The monobloc crankcase with integrated aluminium cylinder liners ensures maximum rigidity and consistent performance.

The electronic management system is another example of the 65° V4 engine's technological supremacy. Full Ride-by-Wire technology eliminates any direct connection between the throttle grip and the throttle valves, which are entirely controlled by a latest generation Marelli control unit that also controls the ignition and the 8 injectors (the 4 secondary fan pattern injectors come into play at high loads).
Each bank has a dedicated servo unit actuating its own two throttle bodies only. This means that the aperture of the throttle valves and, as a consequence, the quantity of fuel injected, can be controlled independently. This solution, applied here for the first time ever in a production bike, opens up practically infinite possibilities for power delivery control and works hand in hand with the APRC system.

The transmission has also been designed to the meet most advanced criteria to offer the maximum performance possible. To underscore the racing soul of the 65° V4 engine, it is mated to a cassette gearbox with a wet sump lubrication system (with oil in the crankcase). The wet clutch features a mechanical slipper system for optimised engine braking torque control and stability under hard braking.

The 65° V4 was one of the most advanced engines in the world at the time of its debut. The new RSV4 Factory APRC underwent a number of refinements and further improvements based on the world superbike racing experience with the factory bike. The new exhaust and engine mappings make for optimal power delivery. Lubrication has been improved at critical points, the countershaft runs in ball bearings rather than plain bushings and the head cooling circuit has been reviewed for optimal operating temperatures and long-term reliability.
Combustion chambers and cylinder-piston fits have also been revised for optimal engine performance. The three lowest gears are spaced closer for extra speed out of bends. The advanced exhaust butterfly valve management system improved delivery in the low rpm band and reduces emissions while preserving the engine's thrilling sound.

CHASSIS

The bike retains the unique chassis and swingarm solutions that make it the world's first “race ready” V4 superbike. In order to boost chassis performance and make it match the rider's tastes, or features of the track, Aprilia RSV4 Factory ensures a combination of adjustments that are pretty much infinite. The multi-adjustable suspension, taken for granted on a motorcycle of this level, are combined with three chassis adjustments: headstock position and rake (through interchangeable bushings), rear end height, swingarm pin height and the engine position in the frame.

Suspension
The Öhlins Racing upside-down fork has 43-mm diameter stanchions and is titanium nitride coated to minimise friction. The wheel travel is 120 mm. As on a racing bike, the fork allows millimetre-precise adjustment for hydraulic compression and rebound damping and spring preload.
The Öhlins Racing rear shock absorber was developed from experience learned directly on the track. It features a piggy back nitrogen canister (separate and mounted on the body of the unit) and adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping and length, allowing the height of the rear end of the bike to be altered to modify the set-up to suit different riding styles and tracks. Wheel travel is 130 mm.

Wheels and tyres
The effort to shed as much weight as possible and offer the best feeling led to implementation of new, ultra-light forged aluminium rims.An almost obsessive pursuit of top performance resulted in an exclusive, innovative dual blend tyre developed in collaboration with Racing Department, R&D and Pirelli. The racing sized 200/55 ZR17 tyre offers a better contact pattern in bends, shaving precious tenths of a second of lap time - a technology unique to this bike.

Componentry
A real Superbike is special not only as far as performance is concerned but also for the care it is built with. With regard to the RSV4 Factory APRC, the details say it all: no other "race ready" motorcycle has ever been built with such care and attention. The attention paid to its construction not only satisfies the desire for beauty. A motorbike built like the RSV4 Factory APRC is in any case gorgeous, but most of all aims at achieving the goal: to win. This is why every detail was thought out to increase performance and functionality, reducing the weight and considerably increasing the product's quality and finish.

The livery is impressed on the contrast between red and black, the Aprilia sports colours, with a third “nuance” represented by the visible carbon fibre theme generously distributed on this precious Factory APRC version.

There is no second place

Riders and industry folk alike raved about the 2013 CRF450R. And , we’ve given them even more to love. For 2014, there’s new intake and exhaust ports, a new Dual-Timing PGM-FI fuel injection setup, and redesigned muffler internals to boost torque output and increase throttle response.

2014 Honda CRF450R Review

The CRF450R is designed for the way riders ride today. There’s more whipping. More scrubbing. So we built a bike that takes weight off the bike’s ends, and concentrates mass towards the bike’s center. The first thing you’ll notice is our revolutionary air fork. It’s nearly two pounds lighter than a conventional coil-spring fork, taking weight off the front. And now with improved oil flow, this year the fork is even more responsive, delivering even better handling. And new clutch springs to enhance lever feel.

The CRF450R also sports a compact dual exhaust, tucked closely to the frame to further enhance mass centralization. And with better exhaust flow, we’ve even managed to increase horsepower. There’s also our next-generation aluminum chassis, designed to help lower the center of gravity. All in all, the 2014 CRF450R takes the best and lightest bike in its class and makes it even better. And, in doing so, plants it firmly ahead of the pack.

Affixed to the front of our CRF450R is a 48mm inverted KYB PSF (Pneumatic Spring Fork) air fork. It weighs less than a conventional spring fork. It's a breeze to adjust (just use an air pump). And now with improved oil flow, it's even more responsive and helps the front end feel more planted.

Rather than a single pipe extending outward, our twin-muffler setup is short, compact, and located low and close to the frame to improve mass centralization. And with enhanced exhaust flow, we’ve managed to crank out even more horsepower.

At the center of it all is our next-generation twin-spar aluminum chassis. Designed to work with the CRF450R’s air fork, the spars are lower, lowering the center of gravity and improving handling. This results in a bike that delivers superior suspension action, steering feedback and chassis stiffness.

Our Factory Race Team developed the Honda Progressive Steering Damper to enhance cornering and tracking, while reducing rider fatigue. And if it’s good enough for our race team, it’s certainly good enough for you.

Introduced in 2013, the new-generation CRF450R has already proven itself a winner at the highest levels of racing. And that's no surprise. This awe-inspiring racing machine features a rolling chassis fully focused on meeting the needs of today's scrub generation of riders via an aluminum frame along with an innovative suspension package, plus a strategically engineered compact dual-muffler exhaust system that tucks in closely to the center of mass. Designed from the ground up as a total package that would be eminently flickable, responsive and lightweight, every element in the CRF450R chassis has been focused on attaining a low center of gravity along with class-leading mass centralization. For 2014, new intake and exhaust ports, new Dual-Timing fuel injection and redesigned muffler internals boost torque output and increase throttle response. Also, in the suspension department, revised internals in the KYB PSF® (Pneumatic Spring Fork) yield improved damping response for improved bump performance. As before, the advantages to the KYB PSF include significantly lighter weight since it uses air in place of traditional steel springs, and the design also allows incorporation of a larger 32mm cartridge damper piston for superb fork action.

Matching an agile state-of-the-art chassis to big-hitting four-stroke power and torque, since its introduction in 2002 the Honda CRF450R has proven itself a complete, winning package for the professional Motocross racer while its reliability, longevity and build quality have also made it a popular machine for the amateur racer and hobby rider alike.

The 2013 model year CRF450R featured a brand new mass-centralised frame built around KYB air suspension USD front forks, a major evolution focused on assisting the rider to turn in super-fast lap times with less effort, on the ground and whilst airborne. Packed with a host of detail upgrades from HRC, the 2014 CRF450R builds on its abilities and success.

Model Overview

Delivering improved bottom-end torque, the CRF450R's 449cc single-cylinder engine benefits from new Dual Fuel injection timing and updated twin rear silencers while the clutch features lighter springs - with no loss of durability. These modifications are aimed at providing a direct, yet sensitive connection to the rear tyre, enhancing rear wheel traction and drive plus the rider's feel for available grip. Work on the intake and exhaust ports by the CRF450R's development engineers has also produced improved over-rev and power at peak rpm.

The sixth generation aluminium twin-beam frame remains unchanged for 2014, as do the aluminium swingarm and Pro-Link rear suspension linkage. Rebound and compression damping have been refined on the company KYB rear shock, and the 48mm KYB front forks receive revised internals for improved damping response. The CRF450R's crisp styling - combining stark form with brutal function - allows the rider complete freedom to move intuitively.

2014 Honda CRF450R Key Features

- New for 2014

- New intake and exhaust ports, a new Dual-Timing PGM-FI fuel injection setup and redesigned muffler internals boost torque output and increase throttle response.
- New clutch springs give a lighter pull at the lever without sacrificing durability.
- Revised internals in the KYB PSF® (Pneumatic Spring Fork) yield improved damping response.


The CRF450R and CRF250R are renowned winning packages with a combination of power, agility and reliability that makes them popular with professional racers and hobby riders alike. Today Honda releases details of upgrades to these two models for 2014.

Following last year’s major upgrades to the CRF450R, the CRF250R has now been given extensive improvements for even greater usability ahead of the 2013-14 season. A completely new mass-centralised chassis plus upgrades to the engine and suspension enhance rider control and feel, both on the ground and in the air.

The flagship CRF450R, meanwhile, has received further engine development for greater torque, throttle feel, top-end power and over-rev. Its 48mm KYB air front fork has also been upgraded for improved oil flow and damping characteristics.

2014 Honda CRF450R Features and Benefits

Short Twin-Muffler Exhaust System

The dual exhaust on the 2014 CRF450R is compact and positioned closer and lower to the frame’s center. This reduces weight off the rear, bringing more mass to the bike’s center for improved “whipability.” And with by improving exhaust flow, we’ve increased overall horsepower.
Fuel Injection PGM-FI

The settings on the CRF450R's Programmed Fuel Injection improve low- and mid-range performance, and help deliver smooth, predictable engine performance. And with our HRC Fuel Injection Setting Tool, it’s easily adjustable to specific track conditions.
Next-Generation Aluminum Frame

Linking the front air fork and rear twin pipes is our Next-Gen twin spar aluminum chassis. The front spars are lower to work with the new fork. The subframe improves mass centralization. And overall, the bike has a lower center of gravity, so you get better steering feedback, suspension action and chassis stiffness and compliance.
New Cylinderhead Porting

New intake- and exhaust-port shapes work in conjunction with the new fuel-injection timing to give increased power and torque at partial throttle settings and more overrev, better suiting the CRF450R’s power delivery for most riders
New Air-Fork Front Suspension

The air fork made waves in 2013. And we’ve made it even better this year. It’s a 48mm inverted KYB PSF (Pneumatic Spring Fork), easily adjustable with a simple air pump. And now with improved oil flow, it’s even more responsive, keeping your front tire planted for better tracking through turns and across whoops.
Works-Style Brakes

The 2014 CRF450R sports front and rear disc brakes with factory-spec master cylinders, and new rotor covers. You can wind down fast into turns, and get around the lap quicker.
Dunlop MX51FA Tire

The Dunlop MX51FA Tires were made for the CRF450R. Literally. We even designed the suspension to work specifically with these premium tires. So you have optimum traction and control around the track.
Seat and Bodywork

To whip and scrub, the rider needs to move around the seat more. And the seat and bodywork on the CRF450R help make that happen. Riders fit easily on the bike, thanks to minimal bodywork. And they can slide around on the seat easier for better comfort and control.
Subframe

By moving the CRF450R’s twin pipes lower and closer to the bike’s center, the subframe needn’t support a long, extended exhaust. That means the subframe can be lighter overall. And with a wide opening at the top, it’s even easier to change the air filter.
Rear Suspension

With a large-diameter sub piston, the CRF450R’s fully-adjustable rear suspension delivers improved low-speed damping for better traction and handling across all track conditions.
Swingarm

The CRF450R’s swingarm is specially designed to work with the updated rear suspension and Next-Gen chassis, delivering improved stability, traction and rider feedback.
Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD)

Our HPSD has been purpose-built to help deliver precise steering at all points on the track, from acceleration to braking, whoops to hardpack. So you can hit your line from the opening gate through the final lap.

Engine

The CRF450R's liquid-cooled, four-valve Unicam engine's bore and stroke is set at 96mm x 62.1mm with 36mm inlet valves and 31mm exhaust valves. Both inlet and exhaust ports have been redesigned and reshaped to improve gas flow and combustion efficiency, complemented by the new PGM-FI Dual Fuel injection timing that delivers sensitive feel for power and torque at partial throttle openings. The throttle body diameter is 46mm and compression ratio is 12.5:1.

Shot-peening the piston skirt with molybdenum disulfide reduces friction while the piston oil jet uses two holes instead of one, for improved cooling of its underside. Modulating power and torque, the six-spring clutch features new springs for a lighter lever action with no loss of capacity or durability. The five-speed close-ratio gearbox is unchanged.

The short rhombohedral twin rear silencers - another key part of the mass centralisation process - feature new internals; the left/right junction area has been optimised to improve the balance and flow of exhaust gas and back pressure. Overall, the CRF450R's new engine specification delivers in three key areas: improved bottom-end torque for punching out of corners, finer feel at partial throttle openings to control drive and manage the available traction and greater top-end power and over-rev, for instant high-rpm snap and the ability to hold a given gear for longer.

Chassis

The 9.35kg aluminium twin-beam frame was designed from the outset around the 48mm KYB air suspension front fork, building on the improved suspension performance to deliver superb front tyre side-grip. Full mass-centralisation - and the the low centre of gravity - reduce physical inertia with improved high-speed stability. Rake of 27.067°, with trail of 116mm and wheelbase of 1,492mm gives razor-sharp turn-in and increased feel for available traction.

The KYB fork maintains its advantage over conventional steel springs, delivering faster response in directional stroke transitions from compression to rebound, with significantly less weight. For 2014 the KYB units receive revised rebound pistons/centre rods plus new oil lock guides, for improved oil flow and damping characteristics. In a sport where the most marginal gains matter, 25g weight has also been shaved; stroke remains 310mm.

Fully adjustable for rebound and compression damping, preload is increased or decreased via the Schrader air valve fitted on the top of the fork cap. Standard pressure is 230kPa (33psi), minimum pressure is 220kPa (32psi) and maximum pressure is 250kPa (36psi). The CRF450R can also be tied down for transport simply by removing air pressure, lowering the front end with no risk of damaging fork seals.

The aluminum swingarm provides massive rigidity for less deflection in ruts, and improved corner-exit traction. It works a compact, fully adjustable (spring preload and rebound damping, plus high and low speed compression damping) KYB rear shock; the benefit of mass centralisation in this area is reduced pitching inertia along the bike's centre line - harder braking is possible with improved stability. The shock's stroke is set at 133.5mm, allowing 315mm axle travel.

Clever packaging of equipment around the frame contributes to mass centralisation; all of the electrical components - ECU, condenser, regulator and wiring harness - are lightweight and centrally located below the throttle body.

The 2014 CRF450R's bodywork maintains the 'triangle proportion' that has long set the CRF family of competition machines apart. A phrase used by Honda's engineers during initial development of the 2013 model was 'man maximum, mechanical minimum'. Essentially the machine is built about human needs, the rider, first and foremost and mass centralization, plus enhanced ergonomics are at the heart of the CRF450R's shape.

In support of this the shrouds, side covers, seat and fuel tank offer a slim, smooth and continuous transition allowing the rider a great deal of freedom and flexibility of movement. The radiator shrouds incorporate high-efficiency channels for maximum airflow into, through and out of the compact radiators.

The front disc cover is designed in two parts, for easier maintenance of the 240mm wave-pattern disc and twin-piston brake caliper. The rear brake is a 240mm wave-pattern disc with single-piston caliper. Both calipers use sintered metal brake pads. Lightweight aluminium rims, with directly attached spoke pattern layout reduce unsprung weight; front wheel size is 21 x 1.6in and 80/100-21 tyre, the rear is 19 x 2.5in and 110-90/19 tyre.
