Honda Motorcycles India has launched the CB300F Flex-Fuel bike in India at a price tag of Rs 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom). Its bookings are now open and it will be available from the last week of October at Honda BigWing dealerships.
What Powers The 2024 Honda CB300F?
- Powering the new Honda CB300F is a 293.52cc, single-cylinder E85-compliant engine which generates a maximum output of 24.8PS at 7,500rpm and 25.9Nm at 5,500rpm.
- It can run on a mixture of 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent petrol.
- Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch, which prevents the rear wheel from locking up during aggressive downshifts and allows for better control while cornering.
