Performance advantage

The 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.

Efficient design

Confidence inspiring

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.

Assist Slipper™ Clutch

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.

Less vibration – more comfort

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.

Crisp throttle response

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.
