Honda has filed a design patent for the CRF300L dual-sport bike in India.

The CRF300L is an entry-level dual-sport motorcycle. It comes equipped with a 43 mm long-travel USD fork suspension at the front and a long-travel mono-shock at the rear. The bike rides on 21-inch and 18-inch wire-spoke wheels at the front and rear, respectively. This gives the bike a massive ground clearance of 284 mm.

Powering the CRF300L is a 286cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that puts out 27 BHP and 26.6 Nm and comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slip and assist clutch.

Entry-level adventure bikes have gained popularity in recent times. If launched, the Honda CRF300L could compete with the Hero XPulse 200, Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 250 Adventure.
