Chapter 2 - RAW Speed (Honda CRF 300L) 

Ahah! Well, given the bike’s price range and target market I would say they are plenty capable. It isn’t an enduro bike but it is way better than most people think. You just need to keep the momentum

No a beginner can't, but imagine what that skilled rider could do on a real dirt bike and not just that beginner bike 😂

@@infidelmat We do have a proper enduro bike and they are different tools for different jobs.

@@adv300l4 that's my point, I just like to warn people that no matter how you dress up these type of bikes, they are not true off road bikes even if skilled riders make them look that way. I went down this path with the KLX, modded it to the 'enth degree only to then finally just get a proper enduro bike. If one values the true off road experience over the road-ability, these are not the right tools for the job, and just end up being money pits that could have gone to an awesome used enduro bike. But I scored a cheap big bore KLX because some else discovered that before me. Anyways if ones happy with their bike, that's great. But this isn't even a beginner dirt bike (like the 230/250F), it's a beginner dual sport.

@@infidelmat They ARE true off-road bikes. They're just not race bikes, and that's ok.

The TTR 125 was also my first bike. It was great and plenty capable for the price!

Us too!

It’s not about the power but the weight and handling…

Obrigado Miguel! Elas até andam ;)

Thank you. We like to keep it simple!

Thank you! We like to use our 300L and enjoy them the most. For sure they have limitations, but they are way more capable than most people think.

Sleep Coffee Ride been doing it on a 300 and 250 for awhile, with point of view cam angles also. Great riding both channels. Nobody believes you when u tell them how capable these dual sport bikes are after u have some enduro riding skills.

@@adv300l4 after you dump 2-3K in them in suspension, ecu, towers/etc. Doesn't make sense but neither does riding (which I do a lot of...) so....

@@tarjas we surely didn't spend that amount. One moto is bone stock performance wise and the other got new springs (less than 200€) + TwinAir air-filter. The towers are useful for navigation and long riding days. They have a great value.

Thank you! For deep sand, they would benefit from more power for sure and the suspension is indeed the weakest point of the bike. The real topic here is the price, reliability, and easy maintenance. The 300L isn't a race enduro bike, but it was never meant to be. It's a bike that is reasonably priced and takes you on most off-road trails and also rides highways without any problem. You have to know the bike's limitations and adapt your riding style. This is what makes them so fun to ride and make us take them for long days of riding.

@@adv300l4 Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it 👍🙏🇬🇧

Thank you!!

Thank you!

We like that idea! That’s a dream job! Unfortunately we don’t see it happening. Thank you for the positive feedback!

I think this idea has merit!

We agree! Thank you!

@@adv300l4what upgrades have you done?

@@scott4427 Nothing to the engine or electronic. Just the correct springs in one moto for the correct SAG. The other has completely stock suspension. Other than that just the One Adventure Rally Towers and Twin Air air filters.

Obrigado Vitor!

Thank you guys! You also do a great job on your channel!!

Thank you! We did use our stock tires for similar riding until they lasted. The ones you see on the video are MAXXIS

There is not much to say. One is bone stock and only has the OneAdventure tower, Acerbis skid plate and different handlebars. Nothing really on the performance side. The other had a spring only upgrade to match the rider’s weight, Acerbis skid plate, OneAdventure tower, blinkers, and TwinAir air filter for easier maintenance. Both have MAXXIS tires. That’s about it.

Thank you!!

😂😂 thank you!

Thank you! Hopefully we can find the time to make more.

💪🏼

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you! It will never be a dedicated race bike. It was never designed to be. You’re totally right! We have to understand what type of bike it is and squeeze the maximum out of it. It is plenty capable and does more than most riders think. It’s a reasonable priced bike with low maintenance, nimble and powerful enough to ride on and off road. Keep enjoying yours!

True! Specially with the suspension of the 300L. You need to be prepared for it. It’s a super user friendly motorcycle but hard to ride fast.

Thank you !

Glad you liked it!

💰 💵

That’s very true. The 450RL is a totally different bike. Unfortunately they aren’t available in Europe. We would love to ride them and see how capable they are

One is bone stock and the other has stiffer springs. To be honest the rebound is even worse with even worse with stiffer springs. Riding position is better but harder to control the bike on big impacts

@@adv300l4 Got the K-Tech full shock on mine. Feels great now with my 95 kg :D

Thank you! More power is always better but it depends if you can control it or not. Until you reach the limit on the 300L you don't need it ;) You can compensate for the lack of raw power by carrying the momentum and keeping it always in the right power band.

Unfortunately, we never tried the KLX so we can't tell you about that.

Thank you! Yes, totally stock gearing

It’s been largely discussed at this point. One is fully stock, and the other has stiffer springs to have the correct SAG but no other changes.

It’s the One Adventure Rally Tower and the video isn’t speed up.

True!

We try to make the best out of it! Some days you are on the gas and others you just cruise or camp somewhere. The versatility of this small bike keeps amazing us!

Thank you!

Thank you! We appreciate your support! Different riding styles for different type of trip. She is doing a long distance trip in remote areas so it’s expected to ride slower and safely.

It’s the only way 💪🏼

Not only yours ;) Thank you!

And yet you have ZERO videos of such thing.🤔

Thank you! one is stock the other has new springs to match the weight of the rider.

Thank you!

With the right approach you can get a lot out of this small bikes

Thank you!

Would be nice to try them and compare it

Obrigado Rafa!

It’s the One Adventure Rally Tower. You can order directly from them.

OneAdventure Rally Tower

Mostly 4th or 5th. For the tight sections maybe a 3rd but that’s quite rare. All the fast sections are 5th or 6th and most corners are 4th or 5th. The bike works well if you carry the speed before attacking the sections otherwise they lack the power and the torque to compensate.

Thank you! We are exactly the same height. One of us is using the stock handlebar and the other is using a ProTaper with similar rise to the stock configuration.

It’s the OneAdventure Rally Tower Probably the best upgrade we ever did ;)

Different types of bikes for different purposes. The 500 is great!

All the small changes are in the description. Some minor tweaks. Thank you!

Acerbis Uniko.

No. This is one and a half hours north of Sines. South area of Lisbon

Gracias!

It’s a regular CRF300L with One Adventure Off-road Rally tower

Thank you! I’ve raced the enduro national series in the past in the intermediate class. Later switched over to MTB racing. The other rider races the Downhill MTB World Cups

​@@adv300l4 Ah! That explains it! Amazing skills!

Thank you! Maxxis Maxxcross IT front Maxxis Maxxxross SI back

Thank you! K-Tech springs and they are available for different weights

Thank you! @@adv300l4

To be honest we didn’t touch our chain for months. No problems to report from our side

@@adv300l4 do you remember if the reference was where the green line starts

Thank you! One of the bikes is bone stock suspension wise. The other we just upgraded the front and rear springs to the rider’s weight. To be honest for normal riding they feel way better with a spring only upgrade but for fast riding on this big compressions the stiffer spring will give you even a faster rebound and will make it harder to control the bike. When you reach this speeds you need to be ready for an even more unstable platform with a stiffer spring on OEM shock and fork. Upgrading to something with rebound adjustment should be the safer solution.

@@adv300l4 thanks a lot !!!

75 and 85 kg

Thank you!

Thank you!

No. It’s specifically designed to the CRF300L. You just use the mounting points available. No need to drill anything.

Nothing so far. One has around 8k kilometers and the other 4k kilometers and no problems at all. Both of are still running on the stock chains and sprockets.

its stock on one bike stronger springs on the other

Thank you @xRotivx !

CRF 300L with OneAdventure Rally Tower

Hey! It's an aftermarket product, so I'm sure how it works in your country. It's better to ask One Adventure Off-road directly. Drop them an email and ask all the questions.

@@adv300l4 thanks ! Sorry for the bothering

​@@adv300l4são legais cá em Portugal? Obrigado

=) what matters is to have fun

Thanks!

:)

;)

Unfortunately they aren’t available in Europe.

The more you twist the throttle the faster you look. There is no need to speed up anything ;)

@@adv300l4 lol 😆

@@mototouro it is posted ;)

Stock. The only things done are in the description

@@adv300l4 wow! You are definitely skilled drivers!

It’s the One Adventure Rally tower

@@adv300l4 thanks! Did you know where can I buy it?

It sure does. Keep in mind this is a dual sport bike and not a race bike😉

It’s a 300L The light comes from the One Adventure Rally tower.

Glad you enjoyed it!

🤣🤣 the famous rattle

Nothing to report. Still going strong 💪🏼

I’m sorry to disappoint you. One is bone stock performance wise (just skid plate, handlebar and the tower). The other is also stock except for a twinair air filter, stiffer springs, skid plate and tower. No ECUs, exhausts or aftermarket suspensions. EU versions and bone stock performance wise. We see a lot of money being spent on other bikes but they will never be an enduro bike. It’s better to spend it on fuel and riding time.
