TF 450-RC KEY FEATURES
POWER DELIVERY
Lightweight 4-Stroke Powertrain – The TF 450-RC’s single-cylinder, SOHC 450cc engine is built for racing, delivering robust power while minimizing weight for a class leading power-to-weight ratio.
AIRFLOW
The 450cc engine's combustion chamber is fully machined for optimal airflow and efficiency. The 3-axis machined combustion chamber and ports ensure precise geometry for peak performance, while diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated rockers reduce friction, improving the engine's efficiency and longevity.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT
The TF 450-RC is equipped with a cutting-edge engine management and intake/exhaust system designed to deliver exceptional performance and control. At its core, the bike features a Dellorto throttle body integrated with an Athena engine management system, ensuring precise fuel delivery and throttle response. This system allows riders to fine-tune parameters like traction control and launch control via the MX Tune Pro smartphone app, offering adaptable performance for varying track conditions. The TF 450-RC features a unique engine map customized by Ricky Carmichael to deliver the exact power and control he demands.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system of the TF 450-RC is designed to complement its high-performance engine. The standard model features a lightweight stainless-steel exhaust with an integrated resonator to improve cylinder evacuation, and hydroformed components for optimised routing and high gas flow.
DESIGNED FOR THE WIN
The 450cc engine’s narrow profile improves ergonomics, allowing riders more control and comfort. It is housed in light magnesium covers for further weight reduction. The high-capacity clutch features a steel basket, and plates designed to handle the demands of racing, ensuring durability during intense use. The hydraulic clutch actuation, with Brembo master and slave cylinders, ensures smooth and consistent clutch control.
