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 NX4 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] It has an anti-lock brake (ABS) option.[3]

Heavily based on its 250 cc 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]

Models

There are different versions of the same model:

  • Brazil initial Model 2009 - 2014
  • Brazil, Colombia 2015 - Current
  • Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, 2017 - current[6]

Since 2014 the motorcycle include new improvements such as:

  1. new viscosus air filter technology
  2. new iridium spark plug
  3. The fuel pump is inside the fuel tank

Fuel technology

All the XRE Models can use either gasoline or ethanol, which Honda's PGM-FI system can detect and adapt to.[6] Manual of model distributed in Guatemala states that a max. of 10% Ethanol is allowed within fuel.
