Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) on Wednesday launched its new bike CB300R priced at Rs 2.77 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Bookings for the bike are open from Wednesday for the new CB300R at Honda’s exclusive premium BigWing and BigWing Topline dealerships across India, HMSI said in a statement.

The new CB300R is powered by a 286cc 4-valve liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. It comes equipped with an assist and slipper clutch, which provides an assist function for clutch operations requiring less load compared to a regular clutch mechanism. The slipper function reduces unpleasant shocks caused by sudden engine braking during downshifts, ensuring less fatigue and more comfort for a variety of rides, the company said. ”With distinctive features and dynamic road presence, we are confident customers will be delighted with the new CB300R,” HMSI Managing Director, President & CEO Atsushi Ogata said.

The Neo-Sports Cafe-inspired 2022 CB300R was unveiled in December at the India Bike Week.
