# Honda launches XR300L, XR300 Rally in India at Rs 1.83 lakh 2026-10-05T17:47:18+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Honda has launched the XR300L and XR300 Rally dual-sport motorcycles in India, priced at Rs 1.83 lakh and Rs 2.08 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) respectively. Bookings are open at BigWing dealerships. The XR300L is positioned just above the Hero Xpulse 210 and below the Kawasaki KLX230 in the adventure segment. Honda has not yet released full specifications, saying these will be published in the third quarter of FY2026-27, with deliveries starting shortly after. Both bikes share a 293.5cc air- and oil-cooled engine, a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup, and are made in India. The Rally variant adds a 5-inch TFT display, larger fuel tank, taller windscreen and knuckle guards for a Rs 25,000 premium. Unpublished details include weight, seat height, fuel tank capacity, mileage and brake specifications. Honda's listing notes the price applicable at delivery. The company advises customers to confirm booking amounts, refundability and price-change terms with dealers. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The XR300L and XR300 Rally fill a gap in Honda's Indian lineup, but the delayed specification release means buyers cannot yet compare key figures like seat height and weight against rivals such as the Hero Xpulse 210. The third-quarter timeline for full specs ties deliveries to the end of FY2026-27, leaving a window for price adjustments or production delays. The booking caveat, price applicable at delivery, shifts risk to the customer. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Presents launch details and limitations without editorialising This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
