The change that led to this was the departure of the old DOHC, with double overhead valve control, and the entry of the OHC, with single overhead camshaft. Its transmission has 6 speeds.

For the new XRE 300, Honda chose to bring a chassis inspired by that of the CRF 250F, showing its off-road capabilities. The scale was also modified.

To help support the bike’s 147 kg, which is 2 kg lighter than the Old XRE, Honda chose to maintain the old suspensions with 245 mm of travel at the front and 225 mm at the rear.
