Powerful single-cylinder engine

Featuring a new, bigger 294cc engine this year, you get more power, but especially more torque and a wider, easy-to-use powerband that’s perfect for casual riding.

Fuel injection

Fuel injection means quick cold weather start-up, fewer emissions, better performance, and fuel efficiency. Plus it helps deliver plenty of smooth power and torque, ideal for a wide range of riders.

Simple, proven, tough

A single–cylinder engine is the perfect choice for a bike like this – it's light, simple, narrow, tough, and fuel-efficient.

Skidplate

A tough, full-coverage skidplate helps protect the engine and other critical components from unexpected obstacles.

Strong, light twin-spar frame

A tubular-steel twin-spar frame is lightweight and durable.

Showa® fork

The Showa® front suspension boasts large 41mm fork legs designed to enhance performance and increase strength. New front suspension settings give you a plush ride and great handling.

Pro-Link® rear suspension

Thanks to our Pro-Link® rear suspension and Showa® damper, the bike offers excellent comfort, traction, handling, and rider confidence. For 2026, there’s even a new aluminum bottom link.

21-inch, 18-inch wheel sizes

Just like a bigger dirt bike, a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel provide a range of tire options ideal for off-road riding.

Petal-disc front and rear brakes

Both front and rear brake rotors feature petal-disc designs inspired by competitive motocross bikes. In addition to being lightweight, they run cooler and help reduce unsprung weight as well.

Six-speed transmission

Most bikes in this class have a five-speed gearbox. Our six speed gives you an extra gear, and that means it’s easier to keep the engine’s revs in the operating sweet spot for power, smoothness, and torque.

Counterbalanced engine

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 exceptional smoothness.

Clean-running engine

Another benefit of fitting it with fuel injection is a clean-running engine, which meets California’s stringent CARB emissions standards for off-road motorcycles.

Oil cooler

For 2026, we’ve added a new oil cooler to better match the CRF300F’s engine size and power output. It’s a detail others might skip, but that’s not the Honda way.

MX styling

This bike has loads of racing DNA in its style – you'll love the look and feel of it!

New shroud shape

The new shroud accommodates the oil cooler, but also looks sharp. All our bodywork is tough, and designed to survive the rigors of off-road riding.

Comfortable seating

With its comfortable seat height, the CRF300F inspires confidence and fits a wide range of riders.

Electric starter

With electric starting, you can quickly start your bike on cold mornings or if you need to restart while out on the trail. This system is tried and tested, adding to the fun of riding.
