2022 Honda CRF300L spotted at dealership in India: Check features
The 2022 CRF300L dual-purpose motorcycle was recently spotted at a Honda dealership in India. The Japanese automaker had previously patented the two-wheeler on our shores as well. If launched, it would be the first on/off-road bike by the brand to arrive here and will go up against the Kawasaki KLX450R. The ADV is backed by a 286cc, single-cylinder engine that churns out 27hp.
Why does this story matter?
Honda is a force to reckon with when it comes to dual-purpose motorcycles across the globe. The Japanese brand has multiple victories in dirt racing, motocross, trails, and cross-country rallies under its belt. When the CRF300L will make its way to our shores, the rivalry in the adventure bike segment is bound to be raised to a great extent.
The ADV flaunts wire-spoke wheels wrapped in off-road-biased tires
The Honda CRF300L has a typical motocross styling, featuring large fenders, a slim 7.9-liter fuel tank, a wide handlebar, a flat-type seat, a halogen headlamp, upswept exhaust, and a slim tail section. It packs a digital instrument cluster and angular mirrors. The motorcycle rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped in off-road-biased tires and tips the scale at 138kg.
It is backed by a 27hp, single-cylinder engine
The CRF300L is powered by a 286cc, single-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine that is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The mill develops a maximum power of 27hp and a peak torque of 26.6Nm.
The motorcycle is equipped with disc brakes on both wheels
For the safety of the rider, the 2022 CRF300L comes equipped with petal-type disc brakes on both the front and rear wheel, along with ABS for better braking performance, both on and off-road. The suspension duties are taken care of by 43mm inverted forks on the front and a Pro-Link mono-shock unit on the rear of the motorcycle. Both have 259mm of suspension travel.
