Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt for trail riding, enduro competition, and technical off-road terrain rather than pavement or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe tall 963mm seat height and 122kg dry weight demand decent leg length and fitness, though the low mass makes it manageable for standing and maneuvering.
CharacterA lightweight, high-revving single-cylinder enduro bike that rewards aggressive, standing-up riding with sharp handling and strong suspension travel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a machine suited to sustained highway touring.

2006 Honda CRF 450 X Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 963mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2006 Honda CRF 450 X, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
