Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) launched the new CB300F roadster bike in India. The company has positioned the new motorcycle under the existing naked CB300R. The new CB300F comes with a price tag of Rs 2.26 lakh for its Deluxe variant while the Deluxe Pro will costs Rs 2.29 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom). Honda will sell the newly launched CB300F through its premium BigWing dealerships in India just as they have done with CB300R. The new Honda CB300F is powered with a new 293cc, oil-cooled, 4-valve, SOHC engine that produces 23.8bhp of power and 25.6Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox transmission system with an assist and slipper clutch. The bike comes featured with 17-inch alloy wheels which are suspended by USD forks up front and a five-step adjustable monoshock suspension at the rear. Braking duties are given to 276mm single disc brake up front and 220mm single disc brake at the rear.
The design element of the new CB300F is inspired by its bigger sibling- CB500F which is available in the international markets only. The bike gets sharp lines across the body and the headlight is also a low-slung unit with pointed fuel tank shrouds and an upswept taillight section. The new Honda CB300F also comes featured with a full-LED light setup, a fully-digital instrument console, dual-channel ABS, and a traction control system by the name of Honda’s Selectable Torque Control.
