2022 Keeway K300 N – Highlights & Features
- Keeway describes their new naked to ‘deliver spontaneous fun on the street’.
- The design of the K300 N is traditional Naked with minimum bodywork, contrasting paint scheme and stacked LED headlights, which the company claims will redefine the naked segment and offers superior ergonomics and thrill of riding.
- The K300 N is powered by the same 292.4 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which also powers the K300 R faired sport model.
- This power-unit produces a decent 27.50 HP at 8750 RPM and 25 Nm of torque at 7000 RPM, having the characteristic of being a high revving engine.
- The power is put down to the tarmac through a 6-speed transmission which is aided by a slipper clutch system.
- The new K300 N also comes with 2 riding modes.
- The chassis is designed around a Bassinet Frame.
- Connected to the frame are a pair of 37mm Upside Down (USD) forks in the front, paired with a centrally-mounted Monoshock setup at the rear.
- Braking duties are handled by a 292mm single-disc at the front paired with a 220mm single-disc at the rear aided by dual-channel ABS as standard.
- The new K300 R rides on 17”-110/70 section alloys at the front & 17”-140/60 alloys wheels at the rear.
- Curb Weight – 151 kg
- Ground Clearance – 150mm
- Seat Height – 795mm
- Fuel Capacity – 12.5 L
Looking at the bike and its design philosophy, it will clearly compete with the likes of the new Honda CB300 F naked motorcycle, but the price of the new K300 N is nearly Rs. 40,000/- more than the Honda offering.
