Honda CBR300R: Expected Price, Launch

The Honda CBR300R is expected to launch in India around January 2026. The estimated price is between ₹2 lakh and ₹2.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Interest in the bike is strong, with most users liking its design, performance, and pricing.

The CBR300R comes with a 286cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 30 bhp of power. It is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and offers strong mid-range performance. Braking is handled by disc brakes on both wheels, and safety features like ABS are expected as standard.

In terms of design, the bike gets a sporty look with twin headlamps, inspired by bigger Honda superbikes. It is light in weight, which helps in easy handling, and offers good braking performance. However, taller riders may find it slightly uncomfortable, and limited availability through BigWing dealerships could be a concern.

Once launched, the Honda CBR300R will compete with bikes like the KTM RC 390, Yamaha YZF-R3, Kawasaki Ninja 300, TVS Apache RR 310, and BMW G 310 RR.

Overall, the Honda CBR300R is seen as a promising sportbike for Indian riders who want a balance of performance, design, and Honda’s reliability.
