Keeway K300 N and K300 R: What’s on offer?

While both motorcycles share the same platform and underpinning, the key difference between them boils down to the design and style profile. Both bikes have a menacing front look and come with a split-seat setup, an angular fuel tank, and an underbelly exhaust. The K300 N has a more ‘naked sportbike’ look while the K300 R looks like your regular sportbike. When it comes to colour options, the K300 N is available in Matte White, Matte Red, and Matte Black, while the K300 R comes in Glossy White, Glossy Red, and Glossy Black. 

Both bikes get alloy wheels with a 110/70-17 tyre up front and a 140/60-17 tyre at the rear. When it comes to braking, the front wheels receive a 4-piston caliper with 292mm disc while a single-piston caliper with 220mm disc handles the braking duties at the rear. The K300 N gets a fuel tank capacity of 12.5L compared to K300 R’s 12L. The former weighs 151 kg and has a seat height of 795mm, while the latter weighs 165kg and has a seat height of 780mm.

Powering the two bikes is a 292.4cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 27.50hp and 25Nm torque. Both bikes also get a 6-speed gearbox paired with a slipper clutch. Suspension duties are handled by a 37mm fork up front and a mono-shock unit at the rear.
