The standard CRF300L weighs 24 pounds less than the Rally while also sporting a 0.5″ lower seat height and slightly more ground clearance. Previously, the CRF250L and CRF250L Rally had different suspension travel numbers. This year, both bikes feature the same 10.2 inches front and rear. ...
this led to three main goals: Improve power, improve handling and improve consistency. The first point was addressed by making changes intended to increase the engine’s horsepower and torque, particularly in the bottom
going down this route by first using sound-deadening case covers, a foam-filled swingarm and front sprocket cover to reduce noise, then they worked on getting the smoothest throttle response possible. The result is a motor that makes just 4 horsepower less than the off-road-only CRF450X. ...
“When you ride it, try to think like a 22-year-old”. When I got my first bike, I was in high school and the year was 2003. The only option I seriously considered was a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, a bike that basically looked the same for three decades. I wish I had the options ...
The Honda CR Electric is a prototype of a dirt bike with the electric guts shoved into the frame of a CRF250R ICE motocrosser. According to reports, the prototype was developed with the help of M-TEC, a division of Mugen that has created the electric superbike that has wo...
CRF300L Rally for 2021. Both bikes get a displacement increase to 286cc, courtesy of a longer stroke. In addition to a 2.5 horsepower increase, Honda claims a big jump in torque across the powerband. Both bikes are also lighter, and the Rally model gets a larger fuel tank this year...
The engine is a 745cc liquid-cooled four-stroke parallel-twin unit that produces 58 horsepower and 51 lb-ft of torque—both figures a big improvement on last year’s numbers. Other neat additions to the 2021 model include new tech upgrades, such as new ride-by-wire, new ride modes, new...
It’s time for Honda to put this bike to bed and develop something new and modern. Who in their right mind is still spending $7000 on a 30-year-old bike with archaic suspension, terrible fueling from the factory to meet emissions (which most owners immediately fix by uncorking it), and...
which has to perform in off-road situations as well as on-road long-range touring and all points in between. The CRF1000L Africa Twin’s 998cc parallel-twin power plant draws heavily on Honda’s off-road race experience with the CRF250R/450R competition machines, and uses the same four...
the CRF250R is renowned for its deft handling. The high-compression 249cc Unicam engine provides an impressive spread of horsepower throughout the entire rpm range, and the bike comes with an engine-mode-select button that allows for three different power maps: Standard, Smooth and Aggressive....
