Overview
- Honda officially launched the Rebel 300 in India with ex-showroom Bengaluru prices of Rs. 2.22 lakh for the Standard and Rs. 2.62 lakh for the E‑Clutch, bookings open for Rs. 5,000 and deliveries due from mid‑October 2026.
- The bike uses a 286 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine making about 30 hp and 27.5 Nm mated to a six-speed gearbox and a low 690 mm seat height for an easy riding position.
- Standard equipment includes a circular TFT with Honda RoadSync and turn-by-turn navigation, LED lighting, disc brakes with dual-channel ABS, and available traction control.
- The E‑Clutch uses electronic actuators to automate clutch engagement for starts and shifts while retaining a physical clutch lever for manual use, which reduces left-hand effort in stop‑start riding.
- Honda will build the Rebel 300 in India and sell it only through BigWing outlets, a move that helps keep price competitive but leaves questions for buyers about dealer reach and undisclosed India-specific specs such as curb weight.
