Heads up, Indian motorcycle fans! The 300cc sportbike category just got a serious jolt. Keeway has officially launched its new RR300, and the big news is its killer introductory price tag of just ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This move is set to send ripples through a segment currently dominated by players like the TVS Apache RR 310 and the BMW G 310 RR.
For those who’ve been following Keeway, the RR300 is essentially a rebranded and more aggressively positioned version of the K300 R. By slashing the price so significantly, Keeway is making a bold statement and putting its feature-packed machine within reach of a much wider audience.
So, what are you getting for your money? The Keeway RR300 isn’t just about looks, though it certainly has them. With its sharp, layered fairing, aggressive LED DRLs, and a sleek, raised tail section, it looks fast even when it’s standing still. It’s available in three head-turning colors: a classic white, a sleek black, and a vibrant red.
Underneath that sporty exterior is a capable 292cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It churns out a respectable 27.5 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, which is plenty of punch for spirited city riding and comfortable highway cruising. The engine is mated to a smooth 6-speed gearbox that also features a slipper clutch – a nice touch that prevents rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
The bike is built on a solid trellis frame and comes with some quality hardware, including upside-down (USD) front forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends, backed by the safety net of dual-channel ABS.
With bookings now open at Benelli and Keeway dealerships across the country and deliveries expected to start by the end of July, the Keeway RR300 is throwing down the gauntlet. It’s offering a full-faired sportbike experience with a feature set to match its rivals, but at a price that’s hard to ignore. If you’ve been dreaming of a 300cc machine but the price has always been a hurdle, Keeway might have just launched the bike for you.
