It has received a mild update for the MY2023 model year, and there are a few changes made to make the motorcycle look a bit fresher and more contemporary. A closer look at the details reveals that the MY2023 Honda CRF300L is painted Swift Grey with black hand guards. Moreover, this new color scheme is exclusive to the MY2023 ADV.

A few splashes of orange color also appear on the fuel tank to add a little extra colour to this fairly dark scheme.

The Honda CRF300L has a long travel mono shock suspension at the rear, 43mm USD forks at the front, spoked wheels of 21 and 18 inches, an engine guard, and disc brakes that measure 256mm at the front and 220mm at the rear, retractable metal footpegs, knobby tires, and much more in terms of hardware. Furthermore, the it is powered by a 286cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 27 horsepower and 26.6 Nm of torque.

With its 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, the Honda CRF300L has a powerful powertrain. The Honda CRF300L motorcycle is also lighter than the Hero Xpulse 200, weighing just 142kg. There is also a substantial 285mm difference between the ground clearance of the CRF300L and that of the Honda CRF300.
