2024 New Honda CB300R Vs KTM Duke 250 Gen 3 Detailed Comparison | Duke 250 Vs CB300R

[@shefy8]

The CB300R was on my bucket list. I test rode it at various showrooms in Kochi a few months ago and was immediately captivated. Each time I released the clutch, I felt an exhilarating thrill. Despite my fascination with the CB300R, I was torn between it and the latest Duke 250 Gen 3. Today, I test rode both the Duke 250 and the CB300R back to back. The experience reaffirmed my belief that Honda is always Honda! Trust me, once you ride the CB300R, you won't want to consider any other bike in this segment. While the Duke 250 boasts features like ride by wire and a quick shifter, these did not impress me. For instance, despite knowing about the quick shifter, I found it weird to change gears without using the clutch lever, which is essential for a genuine gear shifting experience. Additionally, the ride by wire system felt sluggish, with a rubber-band effect until the third gear, resulting in a delayed throttle response. In the end, I decided to go for the CB300R. ❤

I just sold my Int650 due to weight factor. Brain says Duke250 Heart says CB300R The smile cb300r put on my face when I test drove it😊. I didn't miss my Int650 at all (interms of acceleration). Still Brain and Heart are wrestling.

[@Farhan_049]

From someone who can't even spell "Duke" properly, this is exactly the kind of garbage opinion I should expect!😂

[@user-qq5kv2oq6x]

​@@Farhan_049 he's actually right ! Not being able to spell few of the words correct doesn't make him more incorrect isn't it? Tell me other than the engine there's nothing new in Honda since a long time there aren't been any upgrades given to it.

[@Farhan_049]

@@user-qq5kv2oq6x The whole experience of a vehicle depends on the engine. That 287cc engine, along with the performance it delivers, also offers a significant amount of fuel efficiency. Some people claim to get a mileage of upto 40 km/L! Also, this person didn't specify the features that can be seen now after the edit, which may delude you to think this is a premium bike. It is, I won't deny that, but both bikes are undeserving of the prices they demand! All the extra features that the Duke possesses, simply makes it competent with the 300R. The lightness of the 300R kinda makes those extra stuff unnecessary. Kinda..... The two things I'd love to have on the CB300R which already exist on the Duke 250 are Ride by Wire and Quick Shifter, and even then, I didn't feel like the absense of them negatively affects the experience.

[@cauliflornication]

Showa USD fork > WP forks Nissin brake > bybre brake Quick shifter - can live without Ride by wire - meh, not necessary But i agree, the price point is stupid for the honda. I can understand the duke 250 cos of its loaded features

[@Raghu155_]

​@@cauliflornication Cb has 2 throttle wires which is no less than ride by wire.

[@AR-todoo]

I,m 6 ft tall so which one to choose? My preference is cb since i felt is so aggressive initially than the duke 250.. but duke has latest features. Can someone one suggest which one to buy?

Bro, just a suggestion don't do these kind of workaround features with specs and numbers comparisons. These are bikes. If you want to compare them do ride review comparisons.

[@todaytrendz8375]

Performance is just not comparable IRL, honda just goes 0-60 in 2.5sec and 0-100 in 6sec

[@BrattyBiker]

Correct, that's very close to the 390, a lot faster than the D250.

I own duke 250 and this is just perfect in every expect.

[@Abhishekkumar36569]

Nd what about milage

[@FactsSpeakerr]

Duke is the better option. Major factor on Honda's side is reliability. But nowadays with improved technology even other brands are giving good life. I have seen Bajaj owners with 6yrs of ownership not having any issue with engine. So with all the electronic features on its side, Duke wins. Duke is better in cornering than CB300r

[@anuragedayath9252]

Nope cb300r is better at corners.

[@FactsSpeakerr]

@@anuragedayath9252 No. Watch Sagar Sheldekar's ride review on both the bikes. CB300r lacks that ability due to its stock tyres. But if someone wants to spend more on tyres they won't have any problem

Dont go by looks or specsheet. Ride yourself both the bike on the same day back to back and you will get your answer. Engine refinement,smoothness, acceleration, braking and specially slipper and assist cluch of honda, ktm only dream of it. For your reference honda provides multi disk wet cluch in it which can only be found in higher CC bikes. Mukkhan he mukhhan. Honda is Honda(Japanese) no match.
