CFMoto 300SR Fully-Faried Motorcycle Expected To Arrive In India By This Year

According to IAB, the 300SR have already started to arrive in international markets such as Vietnam. This indicates that the export of motorcycle has already begun in China and is expected to arrive in the Indian shores soon.

The CFMoto 300SR was expected to arrive much earlier in the Indian market, with first batch exports slated to arrive during Q2 of 2020 in the country. However, owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the timelines for the arrival and launch have been shifted.

The motorcycle comes powered by the same engine as the 300NK naked motorcycle. A 292.4 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with DOHC setup produces a maximum power of 28bhp at 8,750rpm and a peak torque of 25.3 Nm at 7,250rpm. The engine comes mated to a six-speed standard gearbox. The engine also features fuel-injection sourced from Bosch that ensures smooth and efficient performance of the motorcycle.

Speaking about the design of the motorcycle, the 300SR features an aggressive-looking fairing with twin-headlamp setup. The fairing also uses a bit of trim that features a carbon-fibre finish adding to the aggressive looks of the motorcycle.

Other features on the motorcycle include LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, a high rise tail section, split seats, clip-on handlebars, an underbelly exhaust, and rear-view mirrors mounted on the faring. The motorcycle features a rider seat height of 780mm and sits 135mm above the ground.

It also features a fully-digital instrument cluster with two riding modes to choose from. Whether the instrument console will feature connected technology with Bluetooth smartphone pairing remains to be seen.

Suspension and braking setup on the 300SR is likely to be carried over from its naked sibling as well. This includes a (USD) Up-Side-Down forks at the front and a mono-shock suspension setup that is adjustable for pre-load at the rear. Braking on the motorcycle is handled via disc brakes at both ends supported by dual-channel ABS as standard.

Once launched, the CFMoto 300SR will rival the TVS Apache RR 310, the KTM RC 390 and the Kawasaki Ninja 400; among others in the Indian market. All of the 300SR's rivals are well established with an excellent track record in sales. As a result, the company will be assembling the motorcycle in India. It will help with the aggressive pricing of the motorcycle when launched in the country.
