Get FinancingHonda Adds Power To Its Smallest Street-Legal CRF Motorcycles
Newly named for 2021, Honda’s CRF300L and CRF300L Rally are the company’s smallest street-legal CRF models. Based on Honda’s CRF250L series, the dual-sport models now feature larger engines with more torque, while reducing weight and improving balance for better off-road performance. The CRF300L is available in both standard ($5,249 MSRP) and ABS ($5,549 MSRP) configurations, as is the CRF300L Rally ($5,999 MSRP for standard, $6,299 MSRP with ABS) and should be available in this March.
More On The CRF300L
The CRF300L offers a 15% displacement increase over its predecessor and uses a single-cylinder 286-cc four-stroke engine to economically power the bike on and off the street. Honda also increased the suspension travel and ground clearance for 2021, and because the engine features counterbalance, the bike runs smoothly while riders benefit from the narrow overall width and power of a single-cylinder engine. Honda says it reduced the bike’s weight by 11 pounds by optimizing the plate thicknesses and tubing sizing across the board.
The CRF300L Rally
The Rally model is designed to mimic the looks of Ricky Brabec’s Dakar Rally-winning CRF450 Rally, while the base is similar to CRF300L—but with a larger, 3.4-gallon tank. Honda also adds hand guards and a frame-mounted windscreen for greater comfort on longer-distance rides. The CRF300L Rally weighs 9 pounds less than the model it replaces. Like the CRF300L, the Rally model features a long, motocross-style seat that lets the driver move forward, back, left, and right to navigate challenging terrain.
