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, 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 it 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: Featuring front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel, it’s even available with optional anti-lock brakes (ABS). An added plus: when dirt riding, you can turn off the ABS function.
• INVERTED FORK: An inverted Showa® fork features large 43mm sliders. That makes it strong and helps add to the excellent handling in on- or off-road conditions.
• PRO-LINK REAR SUSPENSION: Thanks to our single-shock Pro-Link rear suspension, it 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 liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine is the perfect choice for a bike like this. It's light, simple, and is quite fuel efficient.
• DOUBLE-OVERHEAD-CAM CONSTRUCTION: Honda engines have always been a hallmark of superior engineering. This engine 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 from sitting.

Styling

• CRF450R-INSPIRED BODYWORK: The bodywork design and styling are based on our CRF450R motocross bikes. It’s not only good-looking but functional, too, with smooth transitions between the bodywork elements, making it easy to move around.
• LOWER SEATING POSITION: It offers a seating position that’s two inches lower than our standard CRF300L, making it a great choice for both shorter riders and anyone who’s riding in an environment where they need to stop a lot.
• MORE FOOTROOM: The relative positions of the engine and footpegs in the chassis give you more foot room, 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.
• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: The 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, it’s fully equipped to carry a passenger so you can share the fun.
