Honda Launches India’s First 300cc Flex-Fuel Bike – CB300F at Rs 1.7 Lakh

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the CB300F flex-fuel, marking a major step towards sustainable mobility in the 300cc segment. As the bike of its kind in India, it offers eco-conscious riders a greener alternative without sacrificing performance. Priced at Rs 1.7 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new model is now available for booking at Honda’s BigWing dealerships.

Honda CB300F is powered by a 293.52cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine designed to run on E85 fuel, a mix of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol. It delivers 24.5 bhp of power and 25.9Nm of torque. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, the bike features an assist and slipper clutch for smoother gear shifts and better control.

It comes equipped with disc brakes on both wheels (276mm front and 220mm rear) and dual-channel ABS, along with Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for improved stability. The bike’s golden USD front forks and 5-step adjustable rear monoshock ensure a smooth ride, while an all-LED lighting system adds to its modern appeal.

The advanced digital instrument cluster offers five brightness levels and displays key information, including speed, fuel level, gear position, and more. An Intelligent Ethanol Indicator alerts riders if the fuel contains ethanol levels above 85%, ensuring optimal performance. The 2024 Honda CB300F flex-fuel will be offered in one variant and two-color choices: Sports Red and Mat Axis Grey Metallic.

Commenting on the launch, Yogesh Mathur, Director, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “Indian customers are increasingly demanding motorcycles that are not just performance-oriented but also environmentally sustainable.
