Recently, Honda released a new CB300R in Europe, the European version of the configuration has been greatly upgraded, in addition to upgrading the engine emissions to the Euro 5 standard, but also for the first time in the CB300R using a high-performance SFF-BP inverted fork, and even added a sliding clutch and novices urgently needed gear display function.
The 286cc displacement single-cylinder water-cooled engine has been upgraded to Euro 5 class with a larger catalytic converter and an optimized silencer. In terms of performance, it is completely retained, the maximum horsepower is 31hp, the maximum torque is 27.5Nm, the reason why the output remains unchanged, in fact, the peak speed of the speed has also been adjusted, and now the maximum speed of horsepower is 9,000 rpm, which was previously 8,500 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is prompted to 7,750 rpm, and the previous speed is 7,500 rpm. In addition, the addition of the sliding clutch has also made this car more popular with novices.
The changes in the chassis part can not be ignored, although the old model is also an inverted fork, but the specifications are not as high as the new model, the 41mm SHOWA high-performance SFF-BP inverted fork, the suspension and damping of the two forks are separated, lighter and more efficient than before, and provide 130mm of travel. The lighter forks largely offset the extra weight of the new catalytic converter, which weighs only 144 kg, which is one kg heavier than the old model.
The style of the dashboard is consistent with the old model, but the gear display function has been added to the right side of the dashboard, which has been complained about before because of the lack of this function. Invisible to the naked eye, the seats are optimised for comfort.
Other configurations remain largely unchanged, such as the Nissin radial four-piston brake caliper, the IMU-assisted dual-channel ABS, Dunlop's SPORTMAX radial tires, and more.
The newly added pure black version makes the texture of the CB300R improve again, as the entry model of the Honda Neo Sports Cafe series of domestic models on sale, cb300R is introduced in a pure imported way, not only the texture is unparalleled in the same level, the configuration specifications are not inferior to the imported models of the same level.

At present, the new CB300R is priced at 4,899 pounds (about 41,800 yuan) in Europe, and with the update of the foreign version, it is only a matter of time before the domestic models on sale are updated.
