Motorcycle description sheet HondaCRF 300 Rally 2025 A great adventure in a compact format

On-Off Road

the adventure valleys have never had as many contenders as they do today. With huge engines, substantial body sizes, ubiquitous riding aids and leaden prices.
And then there's the Honda CRF 300 Rally. A grand raid trail bike with restrained dimensions. Almost frail, yet surprisingly spacious.

the bike is based on the CRF 300 L. With a design inspired by machines raced in deserts and dunes. The 300 doesn't aspire to such recklessness, but it thinks big. This is evidenced by its much richer, more enveloping bodywork. The machine aims to protect its rider, helping him to cope with the miles as well as the difficulties.

its strange asymmetrical binocular gaze, housing LEDs, is surrounded by a good-sized bubble. Wider shoulders and a chunky engine hoof completely change this CRF's physiognomy. It looks as if it has swallowed a soft rock. While this makes the bike all the more attractive, it is above all better adapted to cope with the turbulence of the current and future atmosphere.

so more comfort, and more riding between destinations. The Rally's 12.8-liter fuel tank is 64% larger than that of the CRF 300L. All these long-distance features have a certain impact on weight, with an 11-kilo difference between the two versions.

one CRF can hide another

beneath its eye-catching exterior, the CRF 300 Rally uses the same technology as the L. Its 286 cm3 engine allows for gentle evolution without seeking performance. Its 27.3 hp at 8,500 rpm are far from the cavalry of a pure enduro machine, but the machine is designed to be ridden everywhere for a long time, not to do heavy technical work.

and yet, with its generous suspension travel, it comes out on top. With 260 mm at both front and rear, it's already a serious machine. Its ground clearance of 275 mm is more than substantial, higher than that of a 700 Ténéré, and will enable you to tackle a good deal of difficulty. The 43 mm inverted fork and rear shock absorber have been re-tuned for greater stability and comfort. An engine mount is provided to prevent damage to the mechanics.

the only differences between the 300 L and the Rally are the seat height (+ 5 mm) and the front brake. Here, the disc measures 296 mm, i.e. 40 mm more. It's bitten by a 2-piston caliper. The 220 mm rear disc is assisted by a single piston.
As for the wheels, there's no pretence. With 21-inch fronts, eel-thin tires and a good deal of studding on the IRC casings, this trail bike dares to venture into every corner.

our homeland had already tasted this kind of adventure with the CRF 250 Rally. A 300 replaced it in 2021 in certain countries, but France had no right to this version. The 2025 model is its direct evolution, and this time it will be available. In dealerships, but also, and above all, ready for great small-scale epics. You won't be able to go as fast, but you'll be able to go far more places than most big, fat trails. And if you're looking for a big trip...... you'll need to be bold and patient.

French Model 2025
I've got the first-generation crf250L, and I'm very happy with it for a range of around a hundred kilometers, so I'm likely to opt for more road tires, especially for short motorway rides. My mono lacks a little flexibility, and I have to play with the 6 gears to always be in the right gear. That's why I'd like to try out the new 300cm3 engine, perhaps it's a bit better in that respect. Apart from that, even my 23hp 250 is really nice and willing, it's amazing. So in "rally" mode, so well equipped, it's a bike that can further extend its range of action for not much extra weight, about ten kilos, all the way around!...The advantage of such small machines is precisely their limited weight when stationary and in action too, with even nice stability and let's not talk about agility. Finally, a single-cylinder engine like this gives an impression of reliability, whatever the use, unlike 125cc lc engines from the same or other brands, which are constantly overworked. From 250cc upwards, however, there's more torque, and it's easier to keep up with cars that aren't too powerful. With the 27 or 28hp of the 300 engine, it should be even nicer. The Himalayan 450 and Ktm 390 are bigger and not too heavy. I'm excluding the Chinese products that are trying to invade us without any consideration... Rating : 5/5
