Cb300r 2019 Vs 2020
NEO-SPORTS CAFÉ GENIUS.
2020 Honda CB300R ABS:
If there's ever been a smarter—and more fun—way to get around than Honda's CB300R, it hasn't been discovered yet. This lightweight machine isn't a full-fairing sportbike, and it is not a naked-bike standard either. We call it a Neo-Sports Café: it's a motorcycle built for the way we ride today. Light, nimble, and responsive, this year we've changed up the colors on the tank, wheels, shrouds and headlight trim to keep things fresh. You even get anti-lock brakes. One thing's for sure: the CB300R is a great, economical choice. Now, let's get out and ride.

In its first on-road announcement for the 2020 model year, Honda today rolled out three returning machines that all exude fun and accessibility. Lightweight and stylish, the Monkey, Grom and CB300R distill the joy of riding like only small-displacement machines can, enticing new riders to explore the world of motorcycling and veterans to revisit the reasons they started. The most lighthearted of the trio, the Monkey has a new-old style that appeals to everyone from millennials to history buffs, while the Grom—the industry's best-selling sport bike—continues to be a miniMOTO phenomenon. More performance-oriented but still big on style, the CB300R is a small-bore iteration of the naked-bike movement.
"For Americans, motorcycles are all about fun, and it would be hard to find three bikes that better represent that particular emotion," said Chris Cox, American Honda's Manager of Experiential Marketing/Press. "The Monkey, Grom and CB300R appeals to riders from multiple generations and with varying experience levels, and all three squeeze modern features into diminutive, entertaining packages. It's no wonder they continue to be very popular with customers."
2020 Honda CB300R ABS Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Design
Styling is a deliberate reduction, putting the machine's blacked-out hardware on display. It's also brutally neat and brings a hard-edged attitude to the naked-bike scene. The cutaway tail unit is barely there, though it supports separate rider and passenger seats plus the nylon rear mudguard mount. Rider and passenger foot-peg hangers are aluminum.
A lightweight, full-function LCD instrument display is thin and provides simple readouts for speed, engine rpm, fuel level, and gear position, with warning lights arrayed across the top. Full LED lighting—including turn indicators—adds a premium feel and contributes to optimum mass centralization. The headlight uses a dual-bar light signature—upper for low beam and lower for high beam—and the taillight is the thinnest ever mounted on a Honda motorcycle.
Family genes abound, as the fuel tank also shares the same basic motif as the CB1000R. Attitude.
Chassis/Suspension
The CB300R ABS's frame—which helps underpin its minimalist style and is drawn on the same Neo-Sports Café aesthetic as the CB1000R—is constructed from high-tensile steel tubing and pressed steel, with the steel pivot plate separated from the main frame. Through this design, the main frame between the head and seat rail is free from the stress applied to the rear wheel, which enabled each piece to be optimized in terms of strength and profile, primarily through the use of thin steel pipe and steel sheet. While offering optimized strength, the main frame is also light.
The swingarm offers similar rigidity and performance benefits, with increased thickness at the cross member but tapered wall thickness toward the hollow rear axle for ideal flexibility. Lightweight aluminum wheels share the same design as those in the rest of the CB lineup, aiding the bike's nimble handling characteristics.
A 41mm inverted fork with compliant damping and supple spring rate is pared to a single shock offering seven-step spring-preload adjustment. A 49.6/50.4 front/rear weight bias provides a positive feel for front-end grip and easy steering, which is also helped by the low, 317 pound wet weight and compact 53.3 inch wheelbase. Seat height is 31.5 inches.
Stopping power comes courtesy of a 296mm floating front brake rotor paired with a radial-mount Nissin four-piston caliper, and 220mm rear disc matched to a single-piston caliper. Both brakes are modulated by two-channel ABS that works through an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to give precise front-to-rear distribution of ABS operation, depending on vehicle behavior. Dunlop radial tires—a 150/60R-17 at the rear and a 110/70R-17 at the front—are standard.
To help achieve nimble handling, parts near the vehicle's periphery have been designed to be lightweight, while many of the heavier components (including the engine, muffler, rear shock, battery, and ABS modules) are laid out to provide an ideal center of gravity.
Engine
The CB300R ABS's compact 286cc DOHC four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine (shared with the CBR300R) is a diminutive jewel that has won many fans for its free-revving, responsive nature. And while that free-spinning character can get the adrenaline pumping as revs rise, the engine also works well in real-world road-riding conditions, both around town and out on the highway.
Bore and stroke are set at 76 x 63mm, with a compression ratio of 10.7:1. PGM-FI fuel injection—with 38mm throttle bore and a refined, straight-shot intake path—delivers crisp throttle response across the rev range. The exhaust is underslung, and its dual-chamber muffler exits on the right side; reduced air resistance contributes to an ultra-linear throttle response.
The engine is also designed with the minimum number of moving parts. Details like low-friction piston rings, high-density core radiator and iridium spark plug help increase fuel efficiency. Thanks in part to the weight-saving measures and the new intake layout, initial acceleration has been improved by 4%.
