Powerful 450cc Four-Stroke Engine

The light, compact and high revving 450cc engine delivers power across the entire rev range. ECU settings are tailored to suit the specific needs of trail riding and enduro competition.

Three-Level Traction Control

Three-level Traction Control, lap timer, data logging and helpful setup guides are enabled through Yamaha's groundbreaking next-generation Power Tuner App.

Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame

A aluminum bilateral beam frame with WR450F-specific engine mounts provides the right combination of strength and flex for the perfect balance of straight-line stability and cornering performance. The result is a superb-handling machine with light feel, high agility and plenty of traction, allowing the rider to tackle tight, technical courses with supreme confidence.

Class-Leading Suspension

The industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB® coil spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping provides exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption, and now features a hand-operated compression clicker for toolless adjustments. The linkage-type rear suspension uses a KYB® shock with specially-tuned damping characteristics to match the WR450F chassis. The suspension contributes to a low center of gravity for excellent cornering performance and rider comfort in technical sections.

High Performance Braking System

Compact front and rear brake calipers work with aggressive pad compounds and lightweight discs to provide exceptional braking power and control, efficiently dissipate heat and reduce unsprung weight.

Slim Body & Rider-Friendly Ergos

A slim, flat and compact body makes rider movement easy for enhanced control, including rounded seat edges and narrow shrouds. The rider triangle offers generous legroom between the seat and foot pegs for high levels of rider comfort.
