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.
• INTEGRATED REAR MASTER CYLINDER: 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 CRF300LS a large sidestand foot. 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

• 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.
• DISC BRAKES: The CRF300LS features front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel, both for on- and off-road use.
• INVERTED FORK: An inverted Showa® fork features large 43mm sliders. That makes it strong and helps add to the CRF300LS’s excellent handling in on- and off-road conditions.
• PRO-LINK REAR SUSPENSION: Thanks to our single-shock Pro-Link rear suspension, the CRF300LS delivers excellent comfort, traction and handling, while also improving rider confidence.
• STRONG STEEL FRAME: 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 CRF300LS. It's light, simple, and is quite fuel efficient.
• DOUBLE-OVERHEAD-CAM CONSTRUCTION: Honda engines have always been a hallmark of superior engineering. The engine in the CRF300LS 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, it’s really efficient, and you'll never have to worry about clogged carburetor jets if your bike’s been sitting for a while.

Styling

• LOWER SEATING POSITION: The new CRF300LS offers a seating position that’s two inches lower than our standard CRF300L model’s. That makes it a great choice for both shorter riders, and anyone who’s riding in an environment where they need to put their feet down more often, like in parking lots or at stoplights.
• CRF450R-INSPIRED BODYWORK: The CRF300LS features bodywork design 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.
• MORE FOOTROOM: The relative positions of the engine and footpegs in the chassis give 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 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 CRF300LS's digital instrument cluster has large, easy-to-read numbers and indicators. You also get a speedometer, clock, twin tripmeter, a tachometer, and more.
• PASSENGER READY: With its long seat and fold-up frame-mounted passenger footpegs, each CRF300LS model is fully equipped to carry a passenger so you can share the fun.
