Honda CL300 Scrambler Receives Patent in India, Launch Anticipated

CL300 has a similar design to the larger CL500 and the same 286cc engine as Rebel 300

Honda has patented the design of the CL300 scrambler motorcycle in India. The CL300 is a smaller variant of the CL500 scrambler, which was unveiled at EICMA the previous year. The CL300 shares its main frame with the Rebel 300 and is powered by the same 286cc engine found in the CB300R, albeit with 5hp less power. The motorcycle features a 19-inch/17-inch alloy wheel set-up.

Potential Launch of Honda CL300 in the Indian Market

Honda has a history of patenting the designs of overseas models in India and doing it for years. While there is no official confirmation from the company, some factors suggest Honda might consider launching the CL300 in the Indian market. One of the main reasons is that the 286cc engine used in the CL300 is already sold in India in the CB300R, although with slightly higher power output. Additionally, in markets where both bikes are available, the CL300 tends to be priced slightly lower than the CB300R.

Price of Honda CB300R

However, Honda has managed to localize the CB300R to some extent in India, allowing them to offer it at a competitive price of Rs. 2.77 Lakh, Ex-Showroom, New Delhi. Honda wants to achieve similar pricing for the CL300, to undertake a similar level of localization, which involves  sourcing components and vendors and setting up an assembly line.

The popularity of scrambler motorcycles in the Indian market could potentially drive Honda to invest in bringing the CL300 to India. However, without any official communication from the company, it is difficult to determine their plans. Only time will reveal whether Honda decides to launch the CL300 in India or not.
