Engine & DrivetrainThe CB300R’s compact 286 cc DOHC four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine is valued among riders for its free-revving, responsive nature. The engine also works extraordinarily well in real-world road-riding conditions, providing plenty of power both around town and out on the highway.
Not only does the Assist Slipper Clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lock up on downshifts, it also reduces clutch lever operation effort, making the six-speed gearbox even smoother.
The CB300R’s engine is designed with a minimum number of moving parts. Details like low-friction piston rings, high-density core radiator and iridium spark plug help increase fuel efficiency. And the optimized intake layout helps improve initial acceleration.
The power of the engine combined with the six-speed transmission produces a remarkably broad torque curve for strong low-RPM performance. This makes the CB300R easy to ride, in both stop-and-go situations and on the highway, while also returning impressive fuel economy.
A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization.
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for the current riding and atmospheric conditions. The system delivers optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions, with great fuel economy.
Chassis & SuspensionOur Anti-Lock Braking System can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces. It’s a great choice whether you’re using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence.
A narrow comfortable seat and riding position makes it easier for riders to develop their skills and enjoyment as a great introduction to our legendary lineup of motorcycles.
Unsprung weight—the tires, wheels, and brakes—are super-important in a sportbike. The CB300R’s lightweight aluminum wheels are a critical part of the bike’s responsive handling. Plus, they look great too.
The CB300R strives for a perfect combination of handling, power, and athletic comfort. Great handling starts with a superior chassis, which is why the CB300R uses a special frame construction designed to be both light and strong.
The CB300R’s inverted fork offers a smooth ride with compliant damping. The supple spring rate is just right for a bike this size.
AdditionalThe CB300R’s lightweight, full-function LCD display adds a premium feel. It’s 60 percent thinner than previous generations, and gives you readouts for engine rpm, speed, and fuel level. In addition, a gear-position indicator provides more information at a glance.
Another perfect example of classic styling with a modern touch, the CB300R features an all-LED lighting package, yet still sports a timeless round headlight lens. And the LED taillight is super thin for a clean, low-profile look.
