RIDE REVIEW I 2026 HONDA CRF300F
Tractable power delivery makes
the CRF300F easy to control
over a variety of terrain.
and controls remain unchanged,
but the inner diameter of the
hydraulic brake lines is reduced
to improve braking performance.
The bike features 21- and
18-inch wheels, equipped with
aggressive Pirelli Scorpion
XC mid-hard knobby tires, and
240mm (front) and 220mm
(rear) petal disc brakes.
The CRF300F's bodywork and
graphics are inspired by the cur
-
rent CRF motocross lineup, most
notably the radiator shrouds,
giving it a fresher, more mod
-
ern look. Additionally, the side
panels now fit more securely
due to an updated rear mounting
system that replaces the rubber
grommet with a screw fastener.
Rubber boots guard the fork
legs, the plastic skid plate has
been reshaped to shield the
engine's new oil line, and nylon
guards protect the frame where
the rider's boots contact it.
The steel handlebar features
a crossbar with half-waffle grips.
The front brake lever is adjust
-
able, and a handlebar-mounted
multifunction switch includes the
starter button, ignition indicator,
fuel-injection system status, and
a low-fuel light that activates
when only 0.3 of a gallon remain.
The sidestand's angle has been
redesigned for easier operation.
Honda claims the CRF300F
weighs 273 pounds ready to ride,
which is eight pounds more than
the 250.
