CB300F Specifications

The Honda CB300F is powered by a 293.52 cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, four-stroke engine that produces 24.4 PS at 7500 rpm and 25.6 Nm of peak torque at 5500 rpm. It's mated to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch - a feature you'd usually expect at a much higher price point. Honda quotes an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 30 kmpl, though real-world numbers consistently land higher at 35-42 kmpl depending on riding conditions.

The chassis is a diamond-type steel frame with golden USD (upside-down) telescopic front forks - a feature Honda has highlighted as a premium addition to the CB300F. Rear suspension is a 5-step preload-adjustable mono shock. Braking is handled by a 276 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which functions as a basic traction control system - again, rare in this price bracket.

At 153 kg kerb weight, the CB300F is genuinely light for a 300cc motorcycle. For context, the Bajaj Dominar 250 tips the scales at 180 kg and the KTM 250 Duke at 161 kg. This weight advantage shows up most noticeably in city riding - lane filtering, U-turns, and parking feel far less effort than rivals. Ground clearance is 165 mm, seat height is 789 mm (accessible for most Indian riders), and the fuel tank holds 14.1 litres.

On the electronics front, the CB300F gets a fully digital LCD instrument cluster with brightness adjustment, speedometer, tachometer, gear position indicator, fuel gauge, twin trip meters, distance to empty, instantaneous and average mileage, and a clock. Honda's Smartphone Voice Control System (HSVCS) enables Bluetooth connectivity for call and music alerts. LED lighting is standard across headlight, tail lamp and turn indicators.
