The Honda XRE 300 is a single-cylinder dual-sport motorcycle designed and manufactured by Honda in Brazil. It was launched in August 2009 to simultaneously replace the Japanese firm's two South American on/off-road motorcycles: the XR250 Tornado and the NX-4 Falcon.[1] Unlike these motorcycles' 250 cc and 400 cc engines, the fuel-injected (Programmed fuel injection) 300 cc engine in the XRE300 meets Brazil's new PROMOT 3 emissions rules.[2][better source needed] It has an anti-lock brake (ABS) option.[3]

Heavily based on its 250cc predecessor, the XRE300 is aimed at urban riders but can be used for light trail work.[4] The XRE300 is used by motorized infantry brigades of the Brazilian army.[5] In 2018 the Policia Nacional in Colombia acquire this model for their police officers, Cali, Bogota, Medellin started with it and moreover all country.

The bike has become an excellent choice for those adventurers who want to travel on- or off-road routes moreover trusting in the recognition, reliability and goodwill done Honda Motor Company by across the years in LATAM.[citation needed]

Developed as a dual-sport motorcycle, the XRE 300 delivers an engine power close to 26 hp @ 7500 rpm offering a cruise speed average between 85 km/h and 90 km/h in the middle range of the tachometer (5000 rpm – 5500 rpm) with no compromise neither the bike durability, fuel consumption or rider comfort.

The display shows the top speed of 134 km/h just at the red line of the tachometer (9000 rpm).

The bike has a superior Trail off-road capability with an engine torque close to 27 Nm @ 6500 rpm giving excellent performance in the low and middle range of the revs (1500 rpm – 6500 rpm) such response is a goal with either sand, mud or gravel ride conditions.[citation needed]

Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara tires are standard. These are 50% on-road / 50% off-road tires with self-cleaning treads, designed for good overall traction and braking on dry and wet roads.
