Honda Reveals 10 New Two-Wheelers For India: ADV160, Rebel 300 & 500, CB500, QC3, XR300 L & More

Japanese two-wheeler giant Honda has unveiled a 10-product portfolio for the Indian market, made up of seven all-new models and three updated CB350 variants with new colour options. This lineup of 10 two-wheelers includes adventure scooters, cruisers, roadsters, dual-purpose motorcycles and Honda's third attempt at an electric scooter for the Indian market.

Honda has stated that the 10 new and updated two-wheelers will reach dealerships in a phased manner, with prices, launch dates and availability set to be announced closer to each model's arrival. Honda has stated that all 10 of these two-wheelers revealed today are Made-in-India products built for both domestic sale and export.

The first of the new two-wheelers revealed by Honda was the ADV160. This is a maxi scooter that takes design cues from ADVs (hence the name). The Honda ADV160 is powered by a 156.9cc water-cooled engine and is India's first scooter to support flex-fuel up to E85 through Honda's FlexTech system. The Honda ADV160 sports an 8.1-litre fuel tank and offers 27 litres of under-seat storage.

Equipment on the Honda ADV160 includes a TFT instrument cluster with Honda RoadSync and turn-by-turn navigation, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and front and rear disc brakes with single-channel ABS.

The Honda CB500 joins the firm's retro motorcycle range as a Heritage Roadster with styling that draws from the CB750. Unlike the parallel-twin CB500 sold overseas, the India-spec version uses a 501cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with an oil cooler. The CB500 is offered in three variants: Alloy, Spoke Tubeless and Spoke Tubeless with Graphics variants.

The CB500 gets all-LED lighting, an analogue-digital instrument console, HSTC and dual-channel ABS with disc brakes at both ends. Honda has confirmed the roadster will be manufactured locally rather than imported.

The Honda Rebel 300, sees the Japanese firm bring the Rebel nameplate to India. The Rebel 300 Is powered by a 286cc water-cooled engine that is paired with either a manual gearbox or an E-Clutch setup. The Rebel 500 is the larger of the two Rebels and it features a 471cc water-cooled inline twin-cylinder engine, offering more performance while retaining the same bobber-style silhouette along with the manual and E-Clutch setup options.

Honda's E-Clutch technology automatically manages clutch operation during starts, stops and gear changes, cutting down on rider input in traffic. Both Rebel models share an LED projector headlamp, TFT displays with Honda RoadSync, turn-by-turn navigation, HSTC and dual-channel ABS.

Honda also revealed the XR300L and XR300 Rally today. Both XR300 series bikes are built around a 293.5cc air and oil cooled engine. The Honda XR300L is tuned for dual-purpose use with gas-charged Pro-Link rear suspension, HSTC and switchable dual-channel ABS across disc brakes at both ends.

The XR300 Rally shares that mechanical base but adds taller, rally-inspired bodywork for longer-distance touring and mixed-terrain travel. It carries the same suspension, braking and electronics package as the XR300L.

The Honda QC3 was the sole electric vehicle to be revealed by the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer today. The QC3 is a family-focused commuter scooter with a 3 kWh battery pack that delivers an IDC range of 145 km and charges from 10 to 80 percent in 2 hours 40 minutes. A full charge takes four hours. The Honda QC3 also includes 32 litres of under-seat storage, a Smart Key setup, and a 5-inch TFT cluster with connected features and Honda RoadSync navigation.

The updated CB350, CB350C and CB350RS completed the 10-product reveal and offer new colour options rather than mechanical updates. All three bikes retain their 348.6cc air-cooled engine along with all-LED lighting, Honda RoadSync, HSTC and dual-channel ABS..

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Tsutsumu Otani, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said: " India remains one of Honda's most strategic global markets. This 10-product portfolio offers a wide range of mobility solutions. It reinforces Honda's multi-pathway approach, with advanced ICE vehicles, electric mobility solutions, and flex- fuel technologies designed to address diverse customer needs and varying infrastructure readiness. At the same time, we are accelerating our Make-in-India for the World commitment by strengthening local engineering and manufacturing capabilities. This not only allows us to bring Honda's global technologies closer to Indian customers, but also reinforces India's role as an important manufacturing and export hub within Honda's global operations, while maintaining the quality, reliability, and safety that define Honda."

Mutsuo Usui, Director - Sales & Marketing, added: " Indian customers today are looking for products that complement their lifestyles as much as their mobility needs. Through this expanded portfolio, we are bringing a broader range of Honda's globally acclaimed models to India and offering customers greater choice across multiple riding categories. Whether for daily commuting, weekend exploration, adventure touring, or leisure riding, this product range enables customers to choose a Honda that best matches their aspirations."
