Overview

Introducing the 2013 Honda SH300i, a standout in the scooter segment that perfectly balances performance, practicality, and style. Designed for urban commuting and weekend adventures alike, this scooter caters to riders who seek a nimble yet powerful machine. With its sleek lines and a variety of color options—including striking purple, elegant silver, classic white, and bold black—the SH300i doesn’t just transport you; it makes a statement. As a member of Honda's esteemed SH series, it promises reliability and an enjoyable riding experience that’s hard to beat in its class. At the heart of the SH300i lies a robust 279.10cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 26.82 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a torque of 26.00 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This combination ensures quick acceleration and responsive handling, making it a joy to navigate through city streets or open roads. The liquid-cooled engine utilizes Honda’s PGM-FI fuel injection system for optimal efficiency and smooth power delivery, while the automatic gearbox and belt final drive enhance the ease of operation. Riders will appreciate the smoothness of the ride, thanks to its sturdy steel frame and well-tuned suspension system, which includes a 35mm telescopic fork in the front and a dual-damper unit swingarm at the rear. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1625 HP/kg, the SH300i is designed to feel light and agile, making it a perfect companion for everyday use. Packed with features that elevate the riding experience, the 2013 SH300i comes equipped with advanced technology. Safety is paramount, and Honda has integrated an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) on both the front and rear brakes, ensuring confident stopping power in various conditions. The scooter boasts a comfortable seat height of 785 mm, catering to a wide range of riders, while its electric starter and generous fuel capacity of 9 liters (2.38 gallons) ensure convenience and practicality for those longer journeys. With 102 mm of front suspension travel and 95 mm at the rear, riders can tackle bumps and potholes with ease, all while enjoying the smooth, responsive handling that Honda is known for. **
