Meet the 2024 WR450F, Yamaha’s fastest 450cc enduro machine yet. If we’re talking sheer TLC, this baby features quite the docket, including the following perks:
- The same engine as the YZ450F, including “39mm-diameter intake valves, a new piston, connecting rod, revised bearings, optimized crank mass inertia and a dry sump oil tank with integrated generator cover” (via DirectMotocross)
- The same drivetrain as the YZ450F, including a lighter, more compact disc spring clutch and lighter, stronger, wider main shaft gears
- A tweaked ECU that optimized traction at low speeds and ensures prime yank at middling to fast tempi
- A (15mm) lower, Controlled-Fill aluminum bilateral beam chassis with rigidity balance specs and engine mount points tuned specifically for the WR450F
- A flatter, rounder seat for an uptick in riding freedom
- Lean bodywork for more agile handling
- KYB suspension, featuring tool-free compression damping adjustability (here is where the lower seat height and center of gravity really pay off)
- A lightweight Lithium-lon battery
- Lighter throttle wires, footpegs, as well as “rear wheel, hub and brake assembly”
- 258lbs wet – a 4.4 lb. savings over the previous WR450F
- Power Tuner app supports things like “race log recording, live bike monitoring, running time and maintenance logging, diagnosis, and more” (via Yamaha Motor)
- A new bashplate
- New rear fender
