F I R ST LO O K P46 2021 HONDA CRF450RX, CRF450X & CRF450RL CRF450RX, H onda's cross-country racer, the CRF450RX, also gets a major overhaul for 2021. The new CRF450RX received the same amount of attention as the new CRF450R, which includes getting a front exhaust port and a single muffler. The RX still offers off-road-specif- ic features like dedicated ECU and suspension settings, an 18-inch rear wheel and an aluminum side stand. New for 2021, the CRF450RX comes standard with handguards and a revised and narrower 2.1-gal- lon fuel tank. MSRP: $9899. Honda's 450 dual sport gets a name change for 2021. It's now referred to as "RL" instead of just "L." This marketing move positions the RL closer to its competition cousins and farther away from its mellower CRF250L dual sport brother. The CRF450RL is essentially the same as previous model but with new graph- ics and hand guards that now come standard. The CRF450RL returns with a $10,399 price tag. The off-road CRF450X is back with new graphics and hand guards. It sells for $9799. CN 2021 HONDA 2021 Honda CRF450RL 2021 Honda CRF450X
