2025 Keeway RR300 Launched: Sportbike Under ₹2 Lakh

The 2025 Keeway RR300 makes waves as India’s most aggressively priced fully-faired 292cc sportbike, launching at just ₹1.99 lakh ex-showroom. Rebadged from Keeway’s K300 R, it targets young performance seekers wanting race-inspired design—twin LED headlights, boomerang DRLs, clip-on bars—without the premium cost of Apache or RC rivals.

Engine & Performance

Powered by a 292.4cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine delivering 27.5 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 25 Nm torque at 7,000 rpm, the RR300 promises spirited performance. A 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch ensure smooth downshifts and controlled cornering. With a claimed top speed of 139 kmph, it stands well for spirited weekend rides.

Chassis & Handling

Built on a bassinet steel trellis frame, the RR300 features 37mm upside-down (USD) forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels (110/70 front, 140/60 rear) with dual-disc brakes and dual-channel ABS—enough hardware to handle both city commutes and twisty backroads. The wet weight stands at a manageable ~165 kg.

Technology & Features

The RR300 surprises with its value-packed feature list: full LED lighting, a TFT/digital instrument cluster, and a 12-litre fuel tank. Twin ride modes add basic ride customization. Missing is smartphone integration, but the essentials—a slipper clutch and safety tech—are all standard.

Pricing & Market Position

At ₹1.99 lakh ex-showroom, the RR300 undercuts rivals like TVS Apache RR 310 (₹2.75 lakh), KTM RC 390 (₹3.23 lakh), and BMW G 310 RR (₹3.05 lakh). However, limited service network and absence of advanced electronics like quickshifter or traction control differentiate it from premium peers.

Conclusion

The 2025 Keeway RR300 delivers race-inspired aesthetics, capable hardware, and essential electronics at an unbeatable price under ₹2 lakh. It’s ideal for younger riders stepping up from 150–200cc bikes who seek style and spirited rideability over full-spec performance. If accessibility and aggressive looks matter more than high-end tech, the RR300 is a compelling entry-level sportbike choice.
