CRF300L RALLY
- Made for the adventurous or weekday commuter
- Broad engine power-band with plenty of low-end torque
- Dakar Rally inspired graphics
- Digital instrument display
Made for the adventurous dual-sport rider, the new CRF300 RALLY is a small capacity machine packing serious credentials. With styling drawn directly from the Dakar winning competition-spec HRC CRF450 RALLY, it adds long-range ability and comfort to its off-road performance thanks to a large fuel tank and wind-cheating nose fairing and screen. Now lighter in weight, with more power and torque from its engine, the CRF300 RALLY is the perfect travelling partner – around town, or the world.
FEATURES
Performance
SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE
A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CRF300L and CRF300L Rally. 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 and CRF300L Rally 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
RALLY BIKE STYLING
The tall windscreen, the extra-coverage fairing and side panels, the blended, frame-mounted bodywork are all marks of a true rally machine. The 2021 CRF300L Rally looks great, but you’ll appreciate the extra wind- and weather protection too.
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. The Rally models feature taller seats with more padding—perfect for longer rides.
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.
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 and CRF300L Rally 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.
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.
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. And on the CRF300L Rally, the digital instrument cluster tucks in behind the rally-style windscreen, just like the big Dakar bikes.
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.
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.
LARGER FUEL TANK
This year we bumped up the CRF300L Rally’s fuel capacity. It now holds 12.8 litres, enough for even longer adventures.
NEW RUBBER-INSERT PEGS
On the CRF300L Rally models, the footpegs now feature rubber inserts. It’s the best of both worlds: On longer trips, the rubber damps out any vibration, while the cleated steel pegs still grip your boots well off road.
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 28.4cm.
DISC BRAKES
The CRF300L models feature front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel, both for on- and off-road use. Both bikes are even available with optional anti-lock brakes (ABS). An added plus: when dirt riding, you can turn off the ABS function for the rear wheel; on the street, it’s easy to switch it back on.
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.
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.
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.
