Honda launches new CB 300F Twister 2027 with advanced tech

Understand the main changes and the manufacturing process of the new entry-level sport bike

Honda unveiled the CB 300F Twister 2027 at the end of July, bringing a series of updates that sparked strong interest among motorcyclists and enthusiasts. The new model includes fresh rider‑assistance technologies, suspension changes, and two version options with different prices.

Launch of the CB 300F Twister 2027

The third 300 in the CB family arrives now with changes that bring the Twister closer to the rest of the brand’s sport lineup. The presentation took place right after the unveiling of the new XRE300 Sahara and XR300L Tornado, reinforcing Honda’s strategy to update the entire 300 series for 2027.

New riding technologies

Among the standard features, the 2027 Twister incorporates the electronic traction control HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control), the Emergency Braking Signal (ESS) system, and an LCD digital display with optical bonding technology, which eliminates glare under direct sunlight. All versions also include full‑LED lighting, a coded key with transponder, and a hazard light activated by a button next to the horn.

Showa inverted front suspension

The main mechanical advancement lies in the Showa SFF‑BP inverted telescopic fork, featuring 38 mm diameter tubes and 130 mm of travel. The assembly, paired with upper and lower machined forged‑aluminum triple clamps, increases the torsional rigidity of the diamond tubular frame and provides greater cornering precision. The rear mono‑shock with dual‑stage damping has been recalibrated to compensate for the front‑end changes.

Versions and pricing

The 2027 lineup is split into two options: the CB 300F Twister ABS, available in black and red, priced at R$ 26,880; and the Twister S, which adds exclusive paint, a single‑seat fairing, and red accents, costing R$ 27,680. Both versions come equipped with ABS brakes, replacing the previous model’s combined braking system (CBS).

Production process in Manaus

The new Twister is built at Honda’s factory in Manaus, where almost all components—seats, tubes, engine, fairings, and alloy wheels—are produced. The plant, covering 800,000 m², has two main areas: HDA (motorcycle assembly line) and HCA (components). The daily casting reaches 45 tonnes of aluminum, which is then machined to create the structural and engine parts. The frame receives its identification code at the start of the line and proceeds to the final assembly of the CB 300F Twister 2027.
