2026 Honda CRF300F Red

More power, more fun

Thousands of riders loved our CRF250F because it was fun, fit a wide range of riders, and was perfect for recreational riding. Now, meet the new CRF300F. Same overall size, but with more power, an even wider powerband, a new six-speed transmission and more. It’s going to appeal to an even bigger group of riders, and be even more fun for everyone who experiences one. Best of all, it’s still super affordable and super reliable. Get ready to ride your new favorite Honda!

Features May Include:

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.
