Honda CB300R was launched in India in February 2019 at an effective price tag of INR 2.41 Lakh (ex-showroom). Being regarded as one of the best offerings from the brand, the bookings for the Honda CB300R has already reached the 500 units mark. This overwhelming response from the enthusiasts has forced the brand to stop accepting more bookings for its affordable streetfighter temporarily. It is expected that Honda will reopen the bookings for the CB300R after making the pending deliveries in the coming days.
The Honda CB300R is exclusively available with only 22 dealerships across the country though, witnessing an excellent response, the brand is planning to open many more dealerships in order to reach a wider audience. Powering the Honda CB300R is a 286cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine capable of churning out a maximum power of 30 HP @ 8000 rpm and an utmost torque of 27.4 Nm @ 6500 rpm. The engine has been mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The braking duties are handled by a 296mm single disc brake at the front and a 220mm single disc brake at the rear. The bike has been equipped with dual channel ABS for additional safety. Based on the Neo Cafe Racer language of the New Honda CB1000R, the 2019 CB300R competes in the Indian market with the likes of KTM Duke 390, New Bajaj Dominar 400, and the BMW G310R.
