THE BIKE THAT BUILDS CHAMPIONS.
With more Supercross and Motocross championships than any other manufacturer, the KX™ name is synonymous with winning. The KX™450 motorcycle represents the flagship of the KX™ lineup, built with the sole purpose of dominating the track. Over the past four decades, we’ve learned what it takes to win and stay on top. Our dedication to building the ultimate machine is undeniable, and the KX™450 represents this to the fullest.

POWER THROUGH THE FINISH
The powerful 449cc engine features new friction reduction coating on the piston for increased engine performance.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
A factory-style launch control system helps put the bike’s power to the ground for maximum acceleration at the start of the race, making the holeshot yours for the taking.
