Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. has entered into the growing middle-weight motorcycle segment with launch of the Honda CB300R motorcycle which is its second Neo Sports Cafe offering in India.
2019 Honda CB300R Price in India:
The CB300R Neo Sports Cafe motorcycle is priced at INR 2.41 Lakh (ex-showroom, India).
The Neo Sports Cafe family is Honda’s ultra-modern minimalistic take on the timeless roadster design. The CB300R is inspired from its powerful sibling, the Honda CB1000R Neo Sports Cafe which was originally showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017.
The design language of the CB300R is modern and minimalist, mixing cafe racer inspirations with a super-compact trapezoid form. The blacked-out hardware which includes the engine and casings give the bike an aggressive character while the brushed aluminium radiator shroud adds sharp contrast to it.
The modern cafe racer style also gets premium finish parts of steel tubular frame and contrasting black with chrome underslung dual chamber exhaust that sweeps up on the rear.
All lights including indicators on the Honda CB300R are LED units. The round metal rim headlight with its built-in horseshoe come armed with the signature two-bar light feature. The taillight is the thinnest ever to be mounted on a Honda motorcycle. The thin lightweight and fully digitalized LCD meter display provides speed, engine rpm, fuel level and gear position simply with warning lights arrayed across the top.
The Honda CB300R Neo Sports Cafe is powered by a 286cc DOHC 4-valve liquid cooled single cylinder engine with PGM-FI technology. It produces a maximum power of 30.03 bhp at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 27.4 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The motor comes coupled to a 6-speed transmission.
The bike features a 296 mm radial-mounted wave disc with 4-piston calliper at the front wheel and a 220 mm wave disc with a 2-piston caliper at the rear. The brakes are modulated by 2 channel ABS which works on the first in class Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The IMU action gives the uniform front to rear distribution of ABS operation and maintains stability of vehicle even during sudden brake application.
The new CB300R weighs 147 kg making it the lightest motorcycle in its category. The frame of this bike is made with a mix of pressed & tubular steel. It is anchored by pressed steel swingarm pivot plates and swingarm which deliver agile handling with stability. Complimenting this are the 41mm USD front forts. Making CB300R perfect for Indian roads are the fat bar-style handlebars with 40° radius, 2.3m turning radius, single rear shock with 5-step spring preload adjustment and compact 1344 mm wheelbase.
To reduce maintenance costs – an important factor for younger riders – the engine is also designed with the minimum number of moving parts. Details like the low-friction piston rings, high-density core radiator and iridium spark plug help increase fuel efficiency.
