We're down to the wire, so here's number 11 of 12. Here's another model-specific giveaway, for someone who has already pounced on one of the most anticipated 450 MX bikes, the 2021 Honda CRF450R/RX. Yoshimura's RS-12 Stainless Full Exhaust ($899.00), was in development for over a year in collaboration with Honda Japan, HRC Honda, and Tim used this on his way to yet another MXGP World Championship.

With an asymmetrical muffler (to maximize capacity), and a resonance chamber (to help manage sound and increase usable power), the RS-12 has a very unique profile to help provide additional clearance for the rear tire and brake caliper. The Yoshimura team also created a unique oval manifold using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and a state-of-the-art hydroforming process. to improve power, reduce weight, and improve the fit. Machined joints provide superior and exacting fit, for extra strength. 

Other details include a Works-look matte carbon fiber end cap, which covers the inner cap mounted design, and eases servicing. A new patent-pending Precision Taper Fit (PTF) insert right makes it easy to install and remove sound inserts and spark arrestors. It's also designed, developed, and constructed in the U.S.
