Because the engine is shared with the Rebel 300, it is a 286 cc unit which is a liquid-cooled engine. The engine produces 25.34 bhp which is 5 bhp less than the CB300R. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed unit.

Honda is no longer using the 16-inch wheels that are found on the Rebel. Instead, now the motorcycle comes with a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. The tread pattern on the motorcycle has a block pattern but it is important to note that the CL300 is not a hard-core off-roader.
