Honda Unveils 10 New Bikes and Scooters in its Biggest Launch Ever

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has unveiled 10 models, making it the company's largest single-day product announcement in India. We were invited to the event in New Delhi, where HMSI showcased seven all-new models and three colour refreshes.

The lineup spans cruisers, adventure bikes, a heritage roadster, an electric scooter, and India's first flex-fuel scooter. All models will be manufactured locally.

Prices and launch timelines have not been announced yet, but here is what each model brings.

Honda Rebel 500

The Rebel 500 is Honda's mid-size cruiser entry for India, powered by a 471cc liquid-cooled inline-twin engine. It will be offered in Standard and E-Clutch variants, with the E-Clutch handling clutch operation on its own in stop-and-go traffic.

Equipment includes a TFT display with Honda RoadSync, turn-by-turn navigation, LED projector headlamp, and HSTC traction control. The bobber-inspired design and low-slung stance carry over from the global Rebel.

For riders who have been waiting for a twin-cylinder cruiser from Honda in India, this is the one to watch for pricing.

Honda ADV160

The ADV160 is the standout scooter in this lineup. It is India's first scooter to support flex-fuel up to E85 using Honda's FlexTech system, which matters as ethanol blending scales up across the country.

It runs a 156.9cc water-cooled engine with an 8.1-litre fuel tank, larger than most scooters in its class. Under-seat storage sits at 27 litres.

The tech package includes a TFT display with Honda RoadSync, turn-by-turn navigation, and HSTC traction control. The adventure styling gives it a different road presence from typical scooters, but it is still very much a city machine at its core.

Honda CB500

The CB500 is the largest displacement motorcycle in this lineup at 501cc. It uses an air-cooled single with an oil cooler, and Honda is positioning it as a retro-sporty roadster inspired by the CB750 legacy.

Three variants will be available. Alloy, spoke tubeless, and spoke tubeless with graphics. The instrument cluster is an analog-digital combination rather than a full TFT, which fits the retro character.

It gets all-LED lighting, HSTC, and disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS. For the heritage segment, the CB500 fills a space above the CB350 that Honda has left empty until now.

Honda Rebel 300

The Rebel 300 is the more affordable way into the Rebel family. It runs a 286cc water-cooled engine and will be available in Standard and E-Clutch variants, just like the 500.

It shares the bobber-inspired design and low-slung stance of its bigger sibling. But at this displacement, it is aimed at riders who want cruiser styling without needing highway muscle. Think city rides and short weekend runs.

The feature list holds up well. TFT with Honda RoadSync, turn-by-turn navigation, and LED projector headlamp. For someone stepping into the cruiser segment for the first time, there are very few compromises here.

Honda XR 300 Rally

The XR 300 Rally shares the 293.5cc air-cooled engine with the XR 300L but adds touring and rally-focused equipment. Honda's Dakar heritage is the clear inspiration here, and the bike is built for mixed-terrain travel over longer distances.

It gets a TFT with Honda RoadSync connectivity, which the XR 300L does not. The gas-charged Pro-link rear suspension, HSTC, and switchable dual-channel ABS carry over from the 300L.

Rally-style wind protection and touring-oriented ergonomics make it better suited for riders who want to cover distance across varied terrain, not just hit trails close to home.

Honda XR 300L

The XR 300L shares the 293.5cc air-cooled engine with the Rally but takes a different approach. This one is built lighter and simpler, focused on off-road agility rather than touring comfort.

It is designed for riders who want trails on weekends and city commutes during the week. The long-travel suspension and switchable ABS back that up. Being able to turn off ABS on the rear makes a real difference on loose surfaces.

It skips the TFT and RoadSync. But for riders who care more about trail capability than tech, the XR 300L is the more focused tool of the two.

Honda QC3

The QC3 is Honda's latest electric offering in India, targeting daily commuters and families. It carries a 3.0 kWh battery with an IDC range of 145 km.

Charging to 80 percent takes 2 hours and 40 minutes, with a full charge in 4 hours. Fine for overnight charging, not great for mid-day top-ups. Under-seat storage is 32 litres.

A 5-inch TFT with RoadSync, turn-by-turn navigation, and Smart Key round out the tech. How it competes depends entirely on pricing against Ather and Ola.

Honda CB350, CB350C and CB350RS

These three are not new motorcycles. The CB350, CB350C, and CB350RS are existing models in Honda's modern classic lineup, and this refresh brings new colour options rather than mechanical changes.

All three run the same 348.6cc air-cooled engine and share a common feature set including all-LED lighting, Honda RoadSync, HSTC, and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.

What separates them is design. The CB350 is the classic, the CB350C leans more relaxed and chrome-heavy, and the CB350RS has a sportier scrambler-like stance.
