Positioned in Honda's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Honda CRF300LS features a 286 cc (17.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27 HP (19.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 26.6 Nm (19.6 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 94.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CRF300LS measures 141.1 kg (311 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 831 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.95-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 256 km (159 miles) between fill-ups.
