Honda Launches India’s First 300cc Flex Fuel Motorcycle - CB300F

Two-wheeler manufacturer, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) recently launched the CB300F flex-fuel motorcycle, priced at Rs. 1,70,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Designed to meet the needs of environmentally conscious riders, it is India’s first 300cc flex-fuel motorcycle.

Engine

The Honda CB300F flex-fuel is equipped with a 293.52cc, oil-cooled, 4 stroke, single-cylinder PGM-FI engine compliant with up to E85 fuel (85 per cent ethanol & 15 per cent gasoline). It churns out 18.3 kW of power and 25.9 Nm of peak torque.

The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It also gets an assist slipper clutch that requires less force enabling quick gear shifts and prevents rear wheel hopping while down shifting.

Integrating safety with performance, the CB300F flex-fuel gets disc brakes at both ends (276mm front & 220mm rear) with dual-channel ABS and Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) as standard. Moreover, its golden color USD front forks and 5-step adjustable rear mono shock suspension provide a comfortable riding experience. Moreover, it gets an all-LED lighting system.

The CB300F’s advanced Fully Digital instrument panel comes with 5 levels of customisable brightness and displays information like Speedometer, Odometer, Tachometer, Fuel Gauge, Twin Trip Meters, Gear Position Indicator & a Clock. It also features an Intelligent Ethanol Indicator, which glows in case the vehicle is filled with higher ethanol content gasoline (more than 85 per cent).

Introducing the new CB300F flex-fuel, Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “At Honda, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality for all our products and corporate activities by 2050. With more than a decade’s expertise in flex-fuel technology globally, Honda has specially developed this motorcycle keeping the Indian customers in mind to make a seamless flex-fuel transition for the Indian two-wheeler market. The launch of the new CB300F flex-fuel reinforces our commitment to support the Government of India’s Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program and to contribute towards a cleaner, greener future.”
