Honda CB300F FlexTech Launched In India At Rs 1.70 Lakh; Can Run On 85% Ethanol

Honda has launched the flex-fuel derivative of the CB300F motorcycle in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom), the CB300F FlexTech comes with the exact same price tag as the standard motorcycle. Showcased earlier at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024, it retains the exact same design as the standard CB300F and gets the same list of features. It will be available at Honda’s BigWing range of dealerships towards the end of the month.

The CB300F FlexTech's price tag is identical to the standard CB300F

The motorcycle has two colour options- Sports Red and Mat Axis Grey Metallic- both of which are also offered on the standard motorcycle. The only noticeable visual difference is that the CB300F Flex Fuel comes with a green decal on the tank cover, with ‘FlexTech’ written on it. It is also equipped with the same digital instruments cluster, although it now has an ethanol indicator, which glows if the vehicle is filled with an ethanol-gasoline blend with more than 85 per cent ethanol content.
