Регулируемое положение руля

Upper triple clamp with two sets of handle mount slots and reversible handle mounts offer riders a choice of four handle positions to choose from: 25 mm FWD, 15 mm FWD, STD and 10 mm BK.

Регулируемая подножка

Adjustable footpeg brackets enable riders to lower their footpeg position 5 mm. In the lower position, CofG is lowered as is the rider’s point of view, adding to both physical and psychological stability.

Поршень с высокими эксплуатационными характеристиками

Featuring the same design used on our factory racers. A short skirt, reinforced external ribs and the industry’s only mass-production use of a bridged-box bottom, featuring fully flush internal bracing, result in a lighter, stronger piston. Idealised piston rigidity balance care of a reconfigured bridge section contributes to increased mid-high rpm performance.

Усовершенствованные профили вала впускных клапанов

Revised intake cam profiles increase intake valve lift (0.4 mm greater) enabling a greater volume of intake air. This contributes to increased low-mid range performance. At idling speed a smaller portion of intake air is routed through the bypass circuit (main bore 3 : bypass 7 >> main bore 6 : bypass 4), resulting in improved response when first opening the throttle.

Точная настройка двигателя: калибровочный комплект KX FI (на заказ)

The KX FI Calibration Kit enables expert riders to adjust engine characteristics (by rewriting actual data maps) to suit their preference, record riding data, and analyse their riding data to further fine-tune their settings.

Простая настройка двигателя: возможность выбора настройки прямого впрыска (DFI) (доступно три схемы)

Using provided DFI couplers, riders are able to easily switch to suit riding conditions. Plugging in each of the 4-pin couplers activates the corresponding engine map. Each of the three maps can be reprogrammed using the optional KX FI Calibration Kit.

Система управления отдачи двигателя

The 2012 KX450F features a launch control system similar to that on our factory racers. With the simple press of a button, riders can activate a separate engine map designed to ensure efficient race starts in slippery conditions.

Энергия и мощь

Fuel-injected 449 cm³ liquid-cooled, 4-stroke Single delivers hard-hitting power from low- through high-rpm. The broad powerband and responsive throttle offer a broad spread of torquey response that enables racers to get on the gas and go even from down low.

Улучшенное переключение передач

To match the wider powerband, changes to the transmission facilitate changing gears in the high-rpm range. The changes also contribute to a significant improvement in overall power feeling.

Короткий глушитель

Short-style silencer (60 mm shorter) contributes to a more centralised mass, adding to the lighter handling characteristics.

Регулируемое сиденье

Using an optional rear suspension tie rod (1 mm longer than normal), riders can lower their seat height by 4 mm (measured at the centre of the seat). While 4 mm may not sound like much, on a race bike being able to make ride position adjustments without any compromise to riding performance is extremely beneficial.

Новая рама

The new frame is 4 mm narrower (2 mm each side) measured across the main pipes, contributing to a slimmer package and to the improved ergonomics. The slimmer riding position facilitates control.

Передний диск

Rigid-mount front disc with an aggressive new petal design reduces unsprung weight 80 g.

Гоночная подвеска

KYB AOS (Air-Oil-Separate) fork keeps oil and air in separate chambers. The increased rigidity results in improved fork action. A super-hard Diamond-Like Carbon reduces sliding friction (and stiction). The coating is even effective when exposed to lateral forces that would hamper slide action. The surface hardness minimises scratches and damage to the tubes.
