Honda has filed a design patent for a new 300cc scrambler motorcycle in India. The patent images show a bike that is based on the Rebel 300 cruiser, but with a more rugged and off-road-oriented design.
The CL300 scrambler features a high-mounted exhaust, spoked wheels, and a long-travel suspension. It also has a more aggressive front end, with a larger headlight and a taller windscreen.
Under the hood, the CL300 is expected to be powered by the same 286cc single-cylinder engine that is used in the CB300R. This engine produces 30 horsepower and 27 Nm of torque, and it is mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
Honda has not yet announced any plans to launch the CL300 in India, but the patent filing suggests that it is at least considering the possibility. The CL300 would be a welcome addition to the Indian market, as there are currently no other 300cc scramblers available.
The CL300 would likely be priced competitively, and it would offer a unique alternative to the many 125cc and 250cc scramblers that are currently available. It would also be a good option for those who are looking for a more capable off-road motorcycle.
If Honda does decide to launch the CL300 in India, it is likely to be a popular choice among riders who are looking for a stylish and affordable scrambler.
