Honda Launches ADV160 and Rebel 300 in India

Rebel 300 Targets the Premium Cruiser Segment

The Rebel 300 has been introduced at Rs 2.20 lakh for the Standard variant and Rs 2.62 lakh for the E-Clutch variant, with both prices listed ex-showroom. Unlike the ADV160, the cruiser will be available exclusively through BigWing touchpoints, reflecting Honda’s positioning of the model within its premium motorcycle retail network. Powered by a 286cc liquid-cooled engine, the Rebel 300 features an LED projector headlamp, dual-channel ABS, disc brakes at both ends, and a TFT display. The model gives Honda another offering in the premium cruiser segment of the Indian two-wheeler market.

Bookings Open Nationwide Ahead of Deliveries

Bookings for both new two-wheelers have opened nationwide across authorized dealerships and online platforms for a token amount of Rs 5,000. In India, customer deliveries for the ADV160 and Rebel 300 are scheduled to begin from mid-October 2026. The launch represents an initial step in Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India’s recently announced 10-product portfolio, with the two models entering the market through different dealership channels. The ADV160 will be sold through both RedWing and BigWing, while the Rebel 300 remains exclusive to BigWing touchpoints.

Product Features and Market Positioning

The ADV160 combines a 156.93cc liquid-cooled engine with practical storage capacity, selectable torque control, disc braking hardware, single-channel ABS, and a TFT display, while its compatibility with ethanol blends up to E85 distinguishes it in the Indian scooter market. The Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India portfolio expansion also includes the larger Rebel 300, which uses a 286cc liquid-cooled engine and offers Standard and E-Clutch variants. Both models are equipped with TFT displays, while the Rebel 300 adds dual-channel ABS and an LED projector headlamp.
