This engine churns out a maximum power output of 30bhp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 27.5Nm at 7,500rpm. Power will be transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. This 300cc engine features minimum number of moving parts, which helps in reducing maintenance cost. The motorcycle comes with a 10-litre fuel tank, and is claimed to return a fuel efficiency of 30.2kmpl.
The new Honda CB300R features 296mm front and 220mm rear disc brakes, which are further assisted by a twin-channel ABS.
