Now, we have learnt that the first batch of the Rebel 300 has reached dealerships and the deliveries will commence in the first week of November across the country.
Being the brand’s entry-level cruiser motorcycle, it will directly rival Royal Enfield Meteor 350. It will be available exclusively through Honda BigWing dealerships. Presented with a low-slung bobber stance, relaxed riding character and blacked-out presence, Honda Rebel 300 will be available in Silver and Black paint shades. The cruiser rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels as standard. The spoke wheels are not offered even as an option.
Manufactured locally in India, Honda Rebel comes equipped with multiple upscale and premium features in the form of LED projector headlamp, front and rear disc brakes, dual-channel ABS, TFT instrument cluster with Honda RoadSync, and turn-by-turn navigation. The E-Clutch variant will ensure seamless downshift and upshift of gears while retaining the clutch lever for manual operation, whenever needed.
Sitting on a unique frame, the bobber-styled cruiser motorcycle has a low saddle height of 690 mm. It tips the scale at just 170 kg. The suspension duties are performed by telescopic front forks and dual-shock rear absorbers. It has been positioned below the CB350 series of bikes in the Indian market while being slightly expensive than its arch rival, the Meteor 350 which is priced between Rs 2.01-2.11 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Rebel 300 is powered by a 286cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine which develops 30 bhp and 27.5 Nm while paired with a six-speed gearbox. On the other hand, as evident by name, the E-Clutch variant gets automatic clutch system, albeit with a physical clutch lever. The riders can also choose to manually shift the gears using the clutch.
