Honda CB300F Latest News - Updates, Recalls & New Variants

Price Cut (2024-25): Honda reduced the CB300F DLX Pro's ex-showroom price by approximately Rs 15,000, bringing it down from the launch price of Rs 1,70,000 to the current Rs 1,55,338. This was widely read as a competitive response to the Bajaj Dominar 250 and other rivals crowding the 250-300cc segment. The price cut significantly improved the CB300F's value-for-money position.

CB300F Flex-Fuel Launch: Honda showcased the CB300F Flex-Fuel at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2024. The Flex-Fuel variant uses Honda's 'Flex Tech' system to run on ethanol blends up to E85 (85% ethanol, 15% petrol). It's priced at approximately Rs 1,70,000 ex-showroom. Honda's push towards flex-fuel aligns with the Indian government's ethanol blending programme, which aims to reduce petroleum imports. The Flex-Fuel variant is mechanically similar to the standard CB300F but with modified fuel system components to handle ethanol blends without corrosion.

Recall Notice: Honda recalled units of the CB300F (along with the CB300R, CB350, H'ness CB350 and CB350RS) due to potential issues with the wheel speed sensor and camshafts. Owners can verify if their VIN falls under the recall at any authorised Honda BigWing dealership. The fix is applied free of charge under warranty.

CB300X Confirmed: ZigWheels reported that Honda is working on a CB300X ADV (adventure variant) based on the CB300F platform. No official launch date has been confirmed, but the adventure segment's growth in India makes this a logical product line extension for Honda.

  • Honda issued a recall for the CB300F along with the CB300R, CB350, H'ness CB350 and CB350RS due to potential manufacturing defects in the wheel speed sensor and camshaft components.

The price cut made the CB300F the most affordable 300cc bike in India with traction control and USD forks.

The CB300F's product story has been one of incremental improvement rather than dramatic updates. Honda's approach - price cut, Flex-Fuel variant, recall response - reflects a manufacturer managing a well-established product rather than chasing headlines. For 2026, the main variable is whether Honda brings in a BS7/OBD-II B update or further price adjustments to counter newer rivals entering the segment.
