Design and Look

The seat of the 2016 300RR is V-shaped affording more ease and comfort to the rider when riding. This particular feature is vital to comfort when racing on rocky or hilly terrains.

Engine and Engineering

The 2016 300RR’s engine features bigger cylinder bores and longer strokes, which increases the displacement to 288cc. Boosted displacement means more power at low RPMs too. To solve the problem of the engine still running after a crash, the engineers at Honda included a bank-angle sensor. This sensor kills the engine when it senses that the bike is lying on the ground.

Suspension, Ride, and Handling

The 2016 300RR features footpegs that are 5mm lower and 5mm farther back. This adjustment reduces weight on the front suspensions, which makes the bike feel more responsive and agile thus more fun to ride. For better grip in areas with poor traction, the 2016 300RR comes equipped with a Dual-Map ECU. This device controls the power output of the engine for maximum grip.

New Features on Brakes and Wheels

The 2016 model allows for the use of tubeless tires. Its use is made possible by a central adjustment spoke that significantly reduces weight on the rear wheel. It also comes with laser-graved hubs, light DID aluminum rims, and premium Michelin X11 tires.
