Honda has opened bookings for its new dual‑sport twins, the XR300L and XR300 Rally, with the base model set at ₹1.83 lakh and the off‑road variant at ₹2.08 lakh.
Both bikes share a 293.5‑cc air‑ and oil‑cooled single that churns out roughly 24.3 horsepower. The power curve mirrors the CB300F’s output but with a slightly different torque delivery.
The XR300 Rally, commanding a ₹25,000 premium, adds a 5‑inch TFT display, a bigger fuel tank, a taller windscreen, knuckle guards, and rally‑styled bodywork.
In the crowded dual‑sport arena, the XR300L lands below Kawasaki’s KLX230 and just above Hero’s Xpulse 210, giving it a niche for riders who want a larger engine without the premium price. The Rally sits comfortably under the KLX230 but still pushes the price point higher than the Xpulse, offering more adventure gear.
Bookings go live now, and delivery is slated for the second quarter of 2026, with initial availability in major metros through Honda BigWing dealerships.
