Overview

Engine & Drivetrain

More confidence-inspiring power
A 15 percent increase in displacement (to 286 cc from 249 cc) improves power by 9.4 percent and torque throughout the rev range, giving the liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine better grunt at low-rpm and even stronger high-rpm performance. The engine’s wide spread of power makes this bike easy and confidence-inspiring to ride on-road or off.

Improved output
Changes to the intake camshaft’s timing and lift help to improve output in the crucial low to medium speed ranges — all-important when tackling tough off-road terrain or city congestion.

Optimal performance
The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system continuously monitors several variables to help ensure the correct fuel mixture, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions.

Recalibrated gear ratios
The smooth-shifting six-speed transmission now features lower gears set closer together for better city/off-road performance, and taller gears set further apart for easier cruising at higher speeds.

New assist slipper clutch
The new assist slipper clutch not only lessens the chance of rear wheel hop or lock-up on downshifts, it also reduces the effort it takes to operate the clutch lever by 20 percent.

Quieter and lighter
Honda engineers reworked the exhaust system, adopting a new structure that reduces vibration and noise while also shaving weight by 380 g. When combined with changes to the air filter and ignition timing, the result is a more-linear powerband that further improves overall rideability.

Chassis & Suspension

Even better handling
The frame and swingarm have been redesigned to improve both on- and off-road handling. The frame now has 25 percent less lateral rigidity, while the swingarm has 23 percent less lateral rigidity and 17 percent less torsional rigidity. The result? An ideal combination of on-road stability and off-road agility and traction.

Lightweight aluminum
At the steering head, the bottom bridge is now constructed from forged aluminum instead of steel, reducing weight by a full 730 g while also altering steering inertia and thereby improving agility.

Increased travel
By increasing travel of the Showa inverted fork by 10 mm, and boosting ground clearance by 30 mm, engineers were able to improve the CRF300L’s ability to tackle off-road obstacles while maintaining excellent on-road comfort. Likewise, the single-shock Pro-Link® rear suspension is calibrated to offer true dual-purpose capability.

Better control
Front 21-inch and rear 18-inch wheels boast lightweight aluminum rims to keep unsprung weight as low as possible. And that means a smoother, more-controlled ride on tough trails or rough pavement.

Available ABS
Front and rear disc brakes provide confident stopping power, or for the ultimate in braking performance, choose the CRF300LA model with standard ABS. You can even turn the rear ABS off for those times on the trail when you want a little bit of slide at the back end.

Additional Features

Improved ergonomics
A bunch of small ergonomic changes for 2021 add up to a big improvement in rider control, manoeuvrability, and comfort. The handlebar has been reconfigured to create a more natural riding position while also reducing vibration, the knee and thigh grip areas on the shrouds have been slimmed down for improved manoeuvrability, and the footpegs have been moved down and back to make the brake pedal and shift lever easier to operate.

Reduced weight
It’s got a more-powerful engine and a host of other improvements, yet engineers still managed to shave overall weight by a full 5 kg.

Digital data at a glance
Whether you’re riding in towns or on trails, the CRF300L always keeps you fully informed. The LCD instrument display now uses black letters and numbers on a white background and a larger font, displaying speed, rpm, gear position, fuel level, fuel consumption, average speed, and elapsed time.
