New ADV coming from Honda: Based on CB300F

Honda has confirmed that it will be launching a new ADV model in 2023, promising to take adventure riding to the next level. The details on this upcoming ADV are scarce, but rumours suggest that it will be based on the popular CB300F platform.

Highlights

The new ADV is expected to feature a range of advanced features, including an off-road-focused suspension, spoked wheels, and a high-mounted exhaust system. Additionally, the new ADV is expected to have a comfortable riding position, suitable for long-distance rides. Honda has a reputation for building high-quality motorcycles that deliver exceptional performance and reliability, and the new ADV promises to be no exception.

Adventure enthusiasts can expect a powerful and agile machine that is perfect for tackling challenging terrains and exploring new horizons. With Honda's commitment to innovation and quality, the new 2023 ADV is sure to be a hit among adventure riders.

Moreover, in 2022, Honda unveiled the CB200X, an ADV-style motorbike based on the Hornet 2.0. The "ADV, however, lacked a long-travel suspension, a larger front wheel, and higher ground clearance and was merely the Hornet dressed up. Hence, if Honda really intends to release the new 300cc ADV using the CB300F naked as its foundation, we hope that it receives the necessary enhancements to make it more suitable for damaged and unpaved roads.

Honda CB300F: overview

Priced from Rs. 2,25,900 and up, the CB300F is driven by a 293cc, air-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 24.47PS and 25.6Nm (ex-showroom Delhi). Anticipate the ADV to have the same engine and cost a little bit more than its naked sister. Although the CB300F's motor wasn't the most thrilling for a naked motorcycle, it would perform admirably as a tourer.

Honda would be able to provide a good compromise between the Suzuki V-Strom SX and the KTM 390 Adventure with the addition of the new 300cc ADV to its lineup. We certainly hope that Honda maintains the price of this ADV reasonably and doesn't go overboard.
