2021 Honda CRF300L

Engineering

• ENGINE COUNTERBALANCER: Because it features a counterbalancer, the engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single along with the smoothness of a multi-cylinder bike.
• FUEL INJECTION: Fuel injection means the CRF300L models start right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency.
• INTEGRATED REAR MASTER CYLINDER: New for 2021, we’ve integrated the rear brake’s fluid reservoir right into the master-cylinder construction. The design is clean, compact, and tucks in making it more damage resistant off-road.
• LARGE SIDESTAND FOOT: We gave the CRF300L larger sidestand feet. It seems like a small detail, but you’ll appreciate it when riding off-road, or even on-road if you need to park in an asphalt lot on a hot day.

Handling

• 21-INCH/18-INCH FRONT AND REAR WHEELS: A 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel give you a wide selection of tire choices for everything from serious off-road trail riding to smooth on-road adventures.
• MORE GROUND CLEARANCE: When we redesigned the engine and chassis, we mounted the engine higher in the frame, which lets us increase the ground clearance to 11.2 inches.
• INVERTED FORK: An inverted Showa® fork features large 43mm sliders. That makes it strong and helps add to the CRF300L model's excellent handling in on or off-road conditions.
• PRO-LINK REAR SUSPENSION: Thanks to our single-shock Pro-Link rear suspension, the CRF300L models deliver excellent comfort, traction and handling, while also improving rider confidence.
• STRONG STEEL FRAME: Redesigned for 2021, the sturdy steel frame is strong and designed to survive in the real world of rough pavement or off-road trails. Plus, because we’ve fine-tuned the frame’s rigidity, now you get even better feedback.

Performance

• SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE: A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CRF300L. It's light, simple, and returns excellent fuel economy. Plus, with the new, larger engine, there’s even more power and torque.
• DOUBLE-OVERHEAD-CAM CONSTRUCTION: Honda engines have always been a hallmark of superior engineering. The new engine in the CRF300L is a perfect example. The double-overhead-cam construction is free-revving, super efficient, and full of low-maintenance features.
• FUEL INJECTION: Fuel injection means your bike automatically compensates for cold weather running or high-altitude operation. Better yet, you’ll get great mileage, and will never have to worry about clogged carburetor jets if your bike’s been sitting for a while.

Styling

• CRF450R-INSPIRED BODYWORK: The CRF300L models feature updated bodywork and styling based on our CRF450R motocross bikes. It’s not only good looking, but functional too, with smooth transitions between the bodywork elements, tank, and seat, making it easy to move around on the bike.
• SLIMMER SEAT FRONT: On the CRF300L models, we’ve slimmed down the seat front, making it easier to move forward on the bike, or to get your feet down at stops.
• MORE FOOTROOM: Repositioning both the new engine in the new chassis and moving the footpeg location gives you more footroom, a real bonus when wearing heavy off-road riding boots.
• POLISHED BLACK RIMS: The black rims look great and are easy to keep clean, thanks to their new polished surface.

Versatility

• COMFORTABLE SEATING POSITION: With a long, motocross-style seat, you can move forward and back, left and right with ease, helping you navigate changing terrain in comfort.
• CARGO CONVENIENCE: Special cargo hooks make it easy to secure a light load to the passenger seat with bungee cords. It's just another one of the nice touches that help make these bikes so versatile. It also has a storage box on the left side for small items you need to keep secure.
• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: The CRF300L's digital instrument cluster is even better in 2021, with larger, easier-to-read numbers, and new gear position, fuel mileage, and fuel consumption indicators. You still get a speedometer, clock, twin tripmeter, a tachometer, and more.
• PASSENGER READY: With its long seat and fold-up frame-mounted passenger footpegs, each CRF300L model is fully equipped to carry a passenger so you can share the fun.
