New 2021 Honda CRF300L Dual Sport Motorcycle

Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great. Like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250Ls, for 2021, they now feature larger engines with more torque and a whole host of other refinements. What you end up with are two of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, they’re also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. Pure and simple, these two bikes are a joy to ride…and a perfect example of Honda taking a great idea and making it even better.

• 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.
• 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.
