CFMoto 300SR has been revealed. The higher capacity version is
reportedly planned for launch in India. The CFMoto 300SR extracts power from a
Euro-IV 292.4 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a DOHC setup. It
also has Bosch EFI that is expected to provide an optimal combination of
performance and fuel efficiency. This engine is capable of producing a max power
of 28.6 BHP at 8,750 rpm and 25.3 Nm at 7,250 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed
transmission and has a slipper clutch.
CFMoto has also implemented different
advanced methods to enhance the engine’s overall performance and efficiency.
The engine has used a dual-coated piston to reduce frictional losses and the
cylinder features a noise-reduction technology to minimise vibrations and
engine noise. The built-in balance shaft allows the engine to rev smoothly.
Perhaps, one of the most attractive
features of the CFMoto 300SR is its fully-colour TFT display. It is similar to
that of the 300NK that is already available in the Indian market. The TFT
display features two interfaces for the two riding modes on offer - Eco and
Sport. It might appear to be a small feature but it should enhance the overall
riding experience.
Some of the other key features of the
CFMoto 300SR are:
- Aerodynamic and sporty design
- Full-LED lighting
- Under-belly exhaust
- Clip-on handlebars
- 37 mm USD forks
- 780 mm of seat height
- 135 mm of ground clearance
- 165 kg kerb weight
The braking setup on the CFMoto 300SR
includes a 292 mm disc with a four-piston floating calliper at the front and a
220 mm disc with a single-piston floating calliper at the rear. The braking
performance is enhanced by Continental ABS.
The 300SR looks very similar to its
younger sibling - the 250SR. Out of these two, it would be the 300SR to make
its way into our country, hopefully, some time in the mid-2020. It is expected
to carry an aggressive price tag and would compete with the Yamaha R3, whose
facelifted, BS-VI variant is yet to be launched.
