The big news out of Auto Expo 2018 is that the Honda CBR250R will be making a comeback in a BS IV compliant avatar this year. The new 2018 Honda CBR250R was showcased at the ongoing Auto Expo 2018. It will have a few subtle upgrades, new colour options and decals as well as a full-LED headlamp. The update brings a freshness to the motorcycle, adding a new element to its styling.

When BS IV emission norms came into effect in mid 2017 the Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) had taken the CBR250R off the Indian market. At that time, there were rumours of either the Honda CBR250RR or the larger CBR300R being the replacement for the 250R. However, Honda later confirmed that neither of those would make it to India.

The new 2018 CBR250R will be an all-LED headlamp setup to bring it up to the level with competitors. This motorcycle also receives new graphics which highlight its shape better. There will be two new colour options in the form of green and orange, apart from the existing colours. Honda India has plans to improve on their market share and the launch of this model is expected to contribute to the targets set by company.

In terms of the power train, the 2018 Honda CBR250R continues using the same 249 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine tuned to produce 26 bhp at 8500 rpm and 22.9 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. The motor comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The CBR250R uses telescopic forks up front and a monoshock setup at the rear, while braking performance continues to come from discs at either end.

Thus we all are awaiting eagerly for the launch and since with advances in its style and excess power it will certainly be a power packed model to rule its market segment.
