Bikes & Scooters~15s briefing

Honda's new dual-sports open bookings before full specs arrive

What happened

Honda has opened bookings for the XR300L at Rs 1.83 lakh and the XR300 Rally at Rs 2.08 lakh in India.

Why it matters

Buyers can compare announced prices, but the Rally's complete specifications and exact delivery date are not yet available.

Remember this

Bookings are open; the full specification sheet is still to come.

Wait for the final specification sheet

Honda's Rally page places the complete specifications release in the third quarter of FY2026-27, with deliveries shortly afterward. Overseas engine-output figures should not be read as confirmed India specifications.
