CB300F Ride Experience: Comfort and Handling

The CB300F offers an upright riding position with a comfortable seat and wide handlebars, suitable for riders around 5'5" to 5'6". The torque is impressive, and the slipper assist clutch is soft and effective, preventing rear tire slippage during gear downshifts. Gear shifting is smooth with minimal effort. The acceleration test showed the bike crossing 120 km/h with stability, though vibrations are noticeable after 90 km/h. Comfortable cruising speed is around 110 km/h. Mileage is expected to be 30-35 kmpl, potentially reaching 35-38 kmpl on highways at 80-90 km/h.

Hero Xtreme 250R Ride Experience: Sportiness and Performance

The Xtreme 250R has a slightly sportier riding position compared to the CB300F, requiring a bit more bending. The rider seat is softer, while the pillion seat is smaller. The torque feels similar to the CB300F, but the traction feels slightly better. Gear shifting requires less effort than the CB300F. The bike feels smoother with less vibration, even after 100 km/h, and can comfortably cruise at 110-115 km/h with good stability. The bike is capable of reaching a top speed of 155-160 km/h. Mileage is expected to be 38-40 kmpl at 70-80 km/h.

Braking Performance

The CB300F's braking performance is tested, revealing that the 276mm front disc brake provides strong feedback and response. The rear brake is progressive, effectively slowing the bike down, with ABS engaging when needed. The Xtreme 250R, with its larger 320mm front disc brake, offers even better braking performance, with ABS engaging at higher speeds. The rear brake performance is similar to the CB300F, with progressive braking and ABS intervention.

Suspension and Overall Feel

Both bikes feature a stiff suspension setup, providing excellent on-road performance, especially at high speeds and during cornering. However, the Xtreme 250R's stiffer suspension results in a more pronounced shock on potholes compared to the CB300F. The CB300F, weighing 153 kg, feels light and stable, making it enjoyable for city rides and highway travel. The Xtreme 250R offers a slightly more aggressive riding position with a wider handlebar and a comfortable seat.

0:00 Hello friends, welcome back to boatind. I am your host and friend Arindam Ghosh and today once again I am here with an amazing ride comparison for you all. Yes friends, today we are going to compare the ride of All New 2025 Hero XTM 250R vs Honda CB 300F. Yes friends, there is a 300cc air oil cooled engine, a 250cc liquid cooled engine and here a confusion is being created as to which one to buy? Honda or Hero. This is the doubt that you all have here today, friends. I will tell you guys what things you will get similar in both the bikes, what differences will you get, feature specification, price mileage, everything in detail will be discussed here and I will tell you the ride review of both the bikes separately so that by the end of the video you guys get a clear idea about which one will be right for you to buy.

0:46 Honda's CV 300F or Hero's XT 250R here. And friends before moving ahead very special thanks to Big Wing Krishnanagar and GP Auto Centre Krishnanagar for providing me these bikes so that I could bring this comparison to you guys. If you live in Krishnanagar or nearby Kera in West Bengal, then you can definitely contact the showroom if you want to buy Honda or Hero product here. You have already seen the details on your screen, so let's start friends. Friends, before going to the ride comparison, I would like to share a small walkaround of both the bikes with you guys so that I can tell you about the differences and friends, let's start here from the front view. See, both have LED headlamp setup. But you guys will get the projector lamp here in extreme. So Extreme has an extra advantage here. If you ride at night then Extreme can give you slightly better light. Now friends, if you are seeing the suspension here, then

1:32 you will get the USD focus in both. In fact, if you are looking at the tyres, here also in both the cars, in the front you will get 110 section tyre with 17 inches of alloy wheel. But there is one difference friends if you are looking at CV300F both the front and rear tyres are radial but in Extreme the front tyre is not radial, only the rear tyre is radial, so here you can say that you get a little better thing in CV300F if seen in terms of stability, otherwise friends if you are looking at the alloy wheel here then there is no diamond cut there but here you will get a slight diamond cut feel in Extreme. Apart from this, friends, you will get dual channel ABS setup in both the cars. But the Extreme has an option here to turn off the rear ABS. Ok? You will get the option of switchable ABS in Extreme. Also friends, if you are watching, then in both you will find the disc setup here in the front. But friends, in the extreme here you will get a big 320 mm

2:19 petal disc with this by brake caliper but when you are going to CV300F here then it is a bit smaller there. Apart from that there you will get the 276 mm disc and it is not a petal disc and you will get it with Nissan caliper. Now friends, if you are seeing, then in both the cases you may have to get this scratch guard which is Edge N Accessories installed here. Now friends, let's talk about the main thing which is its engine. Friends, first of all let's come to the extreme. Here you will get a setup of approximately 250 cc single cylinder DOAC four and liquid cooled filtered engine. For liquid cooling, you can see here you will get the radiator setup. If you are looking for power, friends, then here you will get up to 30 PS and torque of up to 25 Newton meters. And the company claims here that 0 to 60 can be achieved in just 3.2 seconds. We will definitely test this further. Rest of the friends, you will get the Stephen Assis Clutch

3:05 here. You will get a six speed gear box. But you will not find traction control here. Now friends let's talk about CV300F. Here you will get 293.52 cc single cylinder air oil cool fuel engined engine. And you can see this setup for oil cooling, you are getting this radiator setup here. But friends, if you are looking for power then you will get a little less here. There is power of up to 24.4 PS and you will get torque of up to 25.6 Newton meter here. So you can say that you will get slightly more torque here. Sleeper Analysis Clutch here too guys. A 6 speed gearbox is available here as well. But here it is oil cooled and here you will get the traction control system which again I would say Extreme does not have. Now friends, since we are talking about the engine here, let me play the exhaust sound for you and first of all you can listen to the sound of the extreme here.

3:53 [Music] So guys, you've heard the sound of Extreme here and now let me also let you hear the sound of CB 300 FF here. [Music] So friends, you have heard the sound of both the bikes. Please tell us whose voice you liked the most by writing in the comments below. Friends, if you are looking at the rear, you will find the tail lamp in both the cars. In both you will get 150/60 section tyres with 70 inches of alloy

4:40 wheels. You will get radial tyres in both. Here you will get a 230 mm petal brake disc. You will get 220 mm here. And also if you guys are seeing, friends, this adjustable monoshock suspension will be available to you in both the bikes but here you can also see this gas charged in Extreme 250 R and now friends, if you are seeing the side view, then here also you will see the difference, if you are seeing, then you will get a different saree guard there, here you are getting a little different saree guard in both but the design will be slightly different, rest here in both the bikes, friends you will not get the main stand but you will get the side stand in both the bikes with side stand engine cut off sensor and six speed gearbox one down five up in both. Apart from this, friends, if you are looking at the seat height here, then here you will get it up to 789 mm. Rest you will get split seats in both.

5:25 And friends, we are definitely going to talk about cushioning etc. as we move forward. And if you are looking here, then you will get to see the seat height of up to 806 mm in Extreme 250R here. Rest of the things, friends, this gab handle too, you will find it quite strong in both the cases. But if you are looking at the rear seat then you will find it slightly bigger in CV300F when compared to Extreme 250R. Now friends, if you are looking at the petrol tank here, then in CB 300 FF you get 14.1 L. Whereas if you are looking at XTR here, then you will get it up to 11.5 L. You will get the rest of the E20 stickering in both. So both the bikes can be run here with flex wheels. As far as mileage is concerned, here too you can expect up to 35 and in XT too, friends you can expect between 35 to 40. I tested the rest of the extremes myself. There I got a mileage of 42 but you guys can also keep your expectations here between 35 to 40 in both the bikes.

6:13 As far as the ground clearance available here is concerned, friends, let me tell you that if you are looking at it in Extreme here, then you will get up to 167 mm and if you are looking at it in CV300F here, then here friends you will get up to 167 m. So now you can say that you will get to see around 10 mm more here compared to Extreme. Now friends, if you are looking at the weight here, then in CV300F you will get an overall weight of up to 153 kg. But friends, in extreme, here you will get 167.7, approximately 168 kg. Even you will get to see it here. So you can say that around 15 kg. Here you will find extreme to be heavy. Now friends, if you are looking at the handle bars then you will feel quite straight in both. We will talk about this as we go further. But now let me tell you that the switch for heavy loam pass is available here because you will find all the switches for toggling Bluetooth enabled meter console

6:58 here. The horn is fine friends and you guys are getting the touch signal here. Here you will find the engine kill switch. And in both the cases, friends, you will also get the hazard lamp setup and the switch for turning on the engine below, and I have made you listen to the exhaust sound as well here. Now also friends, if you are watching, then once it is turned off and then on, you can see that it takes a complete swipe here, here it has the tachometer, then here you can see the gear position sensor, fuel gas sensor, speedometer, time, then if you are watching, then here this trip A, trip B is fine, then you can see the odometer etc., all these things here. Also friends, if you download and install Honda's RN app on your mobile and connect it via Bluetooth , then you will definitely be able to use turn button navigation, call SMS etc. here. Rest of the turn button navigation cannot be used directly here.

7:43 For that you guys will have to look at the setup a little differently. Ok? Also, if you guys are watching, friends, traction control can also be turned on or off here. The thing that you guys do n't get to see here in Extreme. Now friends, if you are looking at it, then this mobile charging port is here, friends, you will find it on both the bikes here. And now let's talk about extreme here. Here also friends, if you guys are looking for the switch for high beam, low beam pass. This is also a Bluetooth enabled meter console. All these buttons to toggle. You can see this, you guys are getting the turn signals. And below, here you will feel it a little louder. Here also you can see that you are getting the hazard lamp button. And then the engine start switch and kill switch are placed together here. And here you will also find the SOS emergency button here. Switch gear. Ok? If, God forbid, your car crashes, your location is sent to all the contacts you have entered here.

8:29 Also if you guys are looking for mobile charging port, you will get it here also. Once it is turned off and then on, here also friends, you can see that it takes one full swipe. Rest of you people are getting liquid cool here. So this fuel means this cool and temperature here, it is telling this to you people here. Then here this is the fuel gas sensor. There is a tachometer and a speedometer. Here you get two modes friends. Road and then track and also if you guys are watching then here you guys will find this auto. Meaning, if you keep it set on auto then there is auto illumination. As the darkness increases, the night i.e. the light illuminates itself. Ok? It burns itself on its own. And then you will get the navigation. Whatever music is, it will be available. You guys will get to see the lap timer extra here. Apart from this, you can see that you are getting top speed etc. here. You are getting all these things here along with odometer, date etc. Ok? Real time mileage indicator, fuel

9:15 efficiency, everything is told to you here. Also friends, here also if you want, as I have already said, Bluetooth can be used here also. Terminator Navigation Call SMS Direct You will be able to use its console here. Now friends, if I tell you about the price, then as per West Bengal Krishnanagar, for this Honda CV300F, here you have to pay approximately ₹2100. I am talking about on the road. I am telling you that is the approximate price. Ok? And if you are coming here in Extreme 250 R, then here you have to pay approximately ₹ 27,000. So you can say friends, there is a difference of around Rs 7,000 here. But if we look at overall India, you will see the difference of 5 to 10,000 in every state. Meaning, in extreme you people have to pay more here. Now friends, we have talked a lot about what things you are getting in both the bikes. Now let's

10:00 go for a ride and see what difference you feel between the two while riding. Now friends, we will start the ride comparison with CB 300 F because here you are getting very less power etc. Ok? Up to 24.4 ps. Rest of the flexic models with flex wheels are available up to 24.8 Ps. And if you are watching extreme then you get it up to 30 ps there. So let's start with this. And see, you people are sitting almost upright here and when you are sitting, the seat is comfortable. Not too soft. It is not hard. The handlebar is getting you wide. You are not having any problem sitting here in the space. In fact, even if you are looking at the pillion seat, you will find it quite long here. Ok? Prilian won't have any problem sitting here either. Dude again I would say if your height is around 55 55 56.

10:46 You will be able to manage this bike comfortably. You will not have any problem. And now friends, let's start the bike here. First gear and this, look second gear this torque, this torque is where you guys get something amazing, friends. You people should not have any second opinion in this. Because if you guys are looking at torque, then even in extreme you are getting the same torque, more or less. Ok? There it is up to 25 newt meter, here you guys are getting up to 6 newt meter. So this is quite correct, you see, this bridge which gives you a very good bridge. Ok? Now look at the clutch, if you guys are seeing, even though it is a slippery clutch but it is a very soft clutch. It is not like that but yes it is on the medium side, neither too soft nor too hard. And since there is still a slipperis clutch, it has to be tested. We'll drive it at a little speed first. Ok? First I will go up to 80

11:34 and then I will shut down and release the clutch. It came down from four to three. Here I have released the clutch after coming from three to two. But look at the RPM, how it has raised it. But the bike is running comfortably here. The rear tyre did not slip at all. As soon as I put the gear down and released the clutch. The rear tyre did not slip at all here. So you can say the slip rice clutch is doing a great job here. And also friends if you are seeing its gear shifting here then with a slight effort the up or down shift is happening here with smoothness. If you feel any major problem in this, you will not find it here. And now friends, if here we are talking about clutch, throttle, gear etc., then let us now perform its acceleration test and then talk about the performance. Because here it is going to be a very important thing because even though the power torque

12:21 here, that is to say the power is a little less but the weight here is also 15 kg less. So let us perform its acceleration test first. We will start with Shri 3hons already on first gear. 60 cross time for 100 also cross let's go for 110 now 110 cross let's go for 120 120 also crossed So friends, you have seen that after 100, we have also crossed 120 here and I did not understand much of any problem in stability here. But yes if you guys are asking me about vibrations then friends I can tell you this much that

13:07 after 90 you guys will understand the vibrations here. But it's like that little buzz you feel. Age really means a lot to you people I mean someone is feeling annoying. Meaning that vibration is being felt very much. You people will not understand the meaning of this. Meaning, if you are asking me about the comfortable cruising speed, then I would say that you will be able to cruise comfortably even up to 110 if you are putting it in sixth gear. The way it is if you guys are cruising on the highway then it is fine. So friends this was about speed. Now if you are asking about stability then there is no problem with the stability at all. And also if you guys are looking at the mileage here, I have already told you that 30 to 35, in fact, if you are cruising on the highways at 80-90, then you might get up to 35-38, that is, if you are not using a very clustered gear, then you

13:52 can keep your expectation up to 36-37 here. And guys, now here we will compare the ride of CV 300F with this all new 2025 Hero XTM 250R. Now look friends, when you are sitting on the seat, you do not feel much like you are sitting on a slightly longer seat height. That one was up to 790, 789 and this one is up to 806. You are not able to understand the difference very much. But yes if your height is around 5556. You will be able to use it comfortably. Whatever I said there, I will say the same here also. But yes, here also you will get it on rear fitted foot only. But here you people have to bend a little. Ok? Meaning, this slightly sportier position is giving you more. Yes, there is not much bending involved but compared to the CV300 F, you guys will have to bend a little more here. This much I can definitely tell you guys. As far as the rest of the seats are concerned, friends, there is space in the rider seat as well but the seat is pressing a bit too

14:38 much. Meaning it is a bit softer when compared to CV300F. But yes, if you are looking at the pillion seat then I would say that you will get a little more space in the CV300F, so this is the main difference that the seat is a little more soft and the pillion seat will provide you a little more space on the CV300F. And now let's start here. I have put it on first gear. And this second gear, we're seeing this torque. As good as the torque was in CB 300 FF, here you are getting 0.6 Newton meter less in torque if seen in terms of torque. But here also you will find that due to lower torque, the traction this car will take feels less than that of CB 300. It's not like that. In fact I can say that it makes you feel a little better. But yes, how good is the acceleration,

15:23 friends, first we will do its speed test, acceleration test, then we will talk about it. Okay and now friends if I tell you guys about the clutch, here also I would say the same thing, it is just like the CB300 FF. Not too soft. It is not too hard. Similarly, you can say it on the medium side only. And if you guys are looking at the gear shifting then I would say that here you guys have to put in a little less effort as compared to the CB 300 F. Ok? Meaning, if you are going up-down even with a little less effort, it can be done easily here. If you guys are looking at this bike in comparison to CV300F. And now friends, if we are talking here about the gears of clutch throttle etc. then let's do as I told you guys in CB300 F. Let's also complete the acceleration test here. Here we compare the performances of both. We will start with three horns

16:09 already on first gear. 60 crossed time for 100 we will go for 120 also 120 also crossed. Now friends, here also I will tell you one simple thing. Look, first let's talk about vibration. CV 300 is 300 F is also a very good bike in terms of vibration. I do n't understand much there either. But here friends I will be very honest. You will get it even smoother here. I know DSC engine is liquid cooled. But still I tell you this with full responsibility that here you will feel more smoothness. Ok? Meaning that even if you are taking it after 100,

16:55 still you are not feeling much smoothness or vibration etc. here. Ok? This is one thing I can definitely tell you guys. Otherwise, if you are looking for a comfortable cooling speed, you can go for 110 or even 115. You will be able to ride with considerable smoothness and good stability there too. As for the rest of the stability, friends, even if you go for 130-40 here, you will not feel much of a shortage here. I am talking about stability. And if you are looking at the mileage, friends, again I will say that if you drive at 100 then you will not get much. But yes, even if you drive it for 70-80, you should still get mileage of 38-40 here. Rest I would say stability again friends is very good. Now friends if you guys are watching then I would say that if you are comparing the acceleration with CV 300 F then I would say that friends you might not feel much difference initially but when you are

17:42 going at the speed of 60-70, you will start feeling it from the initial itself but you will understand it only when you test it a lot. You are not feeling much difference initially. Ok? If you are driving normally, but when you go above 60-70, then you will feel that here the acceleration is giving you better results. Ok? And also if you look at the top speed, friends, this bike is capable of going up to 155 to 160. So this is one thing. I have explained the difference. The smoothness is a bit too much. Even though the initial speed is same in both but when you go beyond the top speed of 60-70, then be it acceleration or top speed, here you will see things a little better. You will definitely get the seaper clutch. So we will definitely test it here. Let's take it at a little speed first. Let the road be clear. I took it to around 70, then to 80, 90, from 4th to 3rd gear,

18:28 from 3rd gear to 2nd gear, I released the clutch both the times. But carefully, this rear tyre here has not slipped. So the sleepiness of it is working pretty well there. She is working equally strongly here too. So you are not feeling much problem here. Ok ? And friends, now here we will also test its brake. We will first take it to around 60 to 70 and then we will test its front brake. This goes to 74 and front brake. There was no one behind, friends. Seeing that the road was empty I pressed it. And friends, I can tell you this much that this 276 mm disc that you are getting in the front is working wonderfully. The brake bite or the feedback in the front, the response from the brakes is quite strong here. You people are

19:14 not feeling any problem with this here. And now friends, here we will also test its rear brake. We will take it to the same speed of around 60 and take it to 65 and apply the rear brake. Look I would say friends the rear brake is also feeling quite a lot here you guys are feeling the meaning right. Look, there is a rear brake. It must be of progressive nature. But yes, as soon as you put your foot on the rear brake, you can understand that the speed is slowing down. And yes, when I pressed the rear brake extreme, I got a slight ABS feeling here also. Meaning ABS is coming in the middle. Ok? And now let us press the front brake along with the rear simultaneously. Same thing between 60 to 70 and taking it to 70. Oh my God. Breaking Overall Friends you guys will get a lot of great stuff here. Ok? There is no doubt about it and

20:00 because of the real tyre here, the overall feedback and response that you are getting in braking is quite strong here. And friends, what we will talk about now is the braking of this bike and here it is about 320 mm whereas there was a 276 mm disc brake there. So let's first pull it between about 70 and 80 and then do a brake test here, the front brake at 86. Oh ho ho brother, I even felt ABS here. I was not feeling the ABS in the CBA. Even there, the test was done at 60-70 only. Here it has been tested at a higher speed than that. But look friends, I would like to share a feeling with you. Look, one thing is that the bike is a bit heavy, which you can understand when you ride it. And speed if you guys are watching this breaking. Look, it is amazing even in CV 300 FF. But I would say that I know here the speed, I

20:45 mean its weight is more but still if you see, the disc is also a little bigger. So somewhere I feel that the braking also here, you are getting a little better bite feedback of the brakes when compared to CV300F. Ok? I was talking about the front brake and I also felt ABS here. And here there are also two modes, Road and Then Track which you guys were not getting there in CB 300F. And friends, now we will also test the rear brake here. We'll take it further at a little bit of speed. Let's take it to 90 etc. Look, I applied the rear brake at 90. Look, I have so much confidence in this, that is why I took it to 90 and broke it. There is no one behind. Breaking has been done after seeing it. So see friends, the thing here is that when I am braking at 90, there are high chances of slipping, especially the rear brake. Ok? But yes, the ABS comes in before the rear brake is about to slip.

21:30 So here I felt one thing. But when I took its first ride in Rajasthan, the ABS was not coming so quickly there. But here that probably means that variant was different. Ok? And this is the production variant. So this thing has been corrected here. Even before it skids, you can tell that the ABS is coming into play here. Ok? So this was about the rear brake and I would say friends the rear brake is quite similar in both. It is from Progressive only. I mean, as the speed increases, as you put your foot on the rear brake, the speed slows down a bit. These are the same in both. Now let's go rear with front. After applying front brake on the rear, try it as well and see how it goes. Will go up to 80 and this is 81 on rear with front. There was no one behind. I will say it again and after seeing it I took a break. Look friends, I can definitely tell you that CV300F will

22:16 no doubt give you an excellent performance in braking. But if you guys are looking at the overall braking, I feel the braking is a little better here somewhere. Ok? Not just because the disc brake here is a bit bigger in size. Now if the size has increased then its weight has also increased. That is not the point. But overall, if you guys are driving it on road, then I have told you my actual experience. CV300 is also very good but only a little good but here I feel it a little better. Ok ? And friends brothers, if we talk about suspension. Look, I can definitely tell this to you guys here. Whether you are looking at the front or the rear here. You will find people on the much steeper side. And because it's on the stiffer side. On-road performance, if you are looking at high speed, top speed, especially considering it, then it is going to give you out of the world fun. That

23:03 is very true. But friends I would say that when you go to the potholes then you will definitely feel a slight shock because it is a monoshock and there is USD in the front. From the setup itself you can understand that it will make you feel a shock. A little bit, let's say if there is a pothole of up to 2-1 centimetres then it's fine but if it is more than that then your rear, that is, your back, will make it clear to you that the jerk is too much, drive carefully, and now friends, let's talk about the suspension. Look, I would tell you guys that the same setup is there here as well. There is a USD monoshock at the rear. I would say, look, you are getting stiffness here as well. Somewhere in CB 300F, as I told you guys, in this way you are riding on the state highway , you are at high speed, top speed or if you are cornering.

23:49 Ok? So look, I can definitely tell you that at these three places, both the bikes will seem quite similar to you. High speed, top speed or even a little bit if you're cornering. Both the bikes will give you a pretty good feel even in slightly decent corners. You will get equal confidence in both. But I can definitely tell you that when you go to the potholes, I think friends, compared to CV 300 FF, this will make you feel the shock more because here you are getting a bit more stiffness. This will not be understood on the road, when you will take this bike on off-road, then you will understand that its stiffness is slightly more in this bike and when you go on the potholes then you will feel a slight shock, this will make you feel it a little more as compared to CV 300F.

24:34 And now friends, if we talk about the overall feel when you are doing this, then see, the bike weighs just 153 kg and you guys are understanding that this bike is light but at the same time here you guys do not feel any problem in stability, so because of the lightness you guys are actually enjoying a lot here. Its ok and the rear view mirror is pretty good. You guys like the Speedo Odo Taco okay? You guys are getting everything like gear position sensor etc. You also get Bluetooth connectivity. Ok? And also if you guys are watching then the pillion is getting a good amount of space to sit. There is also a nice grab handle to hold on to while sitting at the back. I would say, look, you guys are getting quite good acceleration also. Ok? So because of all these things, you can say friends that overall if you guys are using this bike for city ride then you can definitely do it. You will also get mileage of 30-35. But even if you are travelling on highways, and

25:20 you are expecting mileage between 35 to 40, you are not doing anything wrong. And in fact friends I would say that it is fine for city ride. If you guys are also planning for highway rides with this bike then I think it is right. The bike will support you because you are sitting almost upright. There is no problem with space. Braking, acceleration, mileage, you people are getting everything good here. If I tell you the overall feel then it is very clear. You're leaning in a little bit too much here. When compared to CV300F, but yes, the handlebar here is slightly wider than that of CV 300F. You will find the seat quite comfortable. Yes, you will get the pin seat slightly smaller. But yes, this rear view mirror that you are seeing is giving you the correct rear view here. Speedo, audio, tacho, gear portion sensor, bluetooth connectivity, navigation can now be used here. In the console, you guys were

26:07 no longer able to use it directly in the console in the CV300. So this is also a plus point. You will find the remaining mobile charging ports here also. And also if you guys are watching guys, all I can tell you guys is this bike as well, okay? If you use it for city rides, daily rides, then you can expect mileage up to 40 here. I had taken the estimate and got 42, so you can keep your expectations between 38-40 here. But here also I would say friends, if you guys are going to take it on long rides, then before that check this as I was telling you guys this. When you are cornering, you should clean it further. It says exactly this to you guys. So as I was saying friends, you will not only do city ride but will also get good mileage in it. In fact the CV will be a little more than Rs 300. But I would say that if you guys take it on a long ride, then you are going to get a very good performance here. I can definitely tell this to you people here.

26:53 So friends, we have talked about both the bikes, what are you getting in both the bikes , are you able to understand the difference. Now let's move on to its conclusion and then see whether CV300F is right for you as per your criteria or it would be better for you to buy the new XT 250 RR here. Friends, now is the hour of truth, the time for conclusion whether you should buy Honda or Hero. Now look friends, the first thing that you will understand is the budget of both. Look, if you guys can now understand who should buy which bike. Let us see criteria wise. First let us understand who should buy Honda. CV300F Look you are youth. You are middle aged. You are going to college. You are office going. You want a sporty looking bike. Where your budget is allowing Rs 2 lakh to go up to Rs 2 lakh 5. Ok? But you

27:39 guys want Honda's reliable engine. You guys want to go for long route tools, because of which you mean cooling should be done efficiently in the engine, for which you guys are getting oil cooler here. You can say that you should get good features etc. in the bike. Such as traction control, dual channel and radial tyres etc. Then you people also need good braking in the bike. You people also want good mileage from the bike. And above all you guys want excellent handling on the bike. You are fond of cornering. You like to lean the bike. You people need better of that too. Ok? For so many reasons, friends, you can say that your budget is allowing you to go from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh. In my opinion, Honda's CB 300F can be a great choice for you guys. But friends, now let's talk about who should buy this newly launched Hero XTM 250R. You

28:24 want the bike to have a more sporty look. You are of young age. Ok? You need to like to lean the bike. I love taking corners you guys. This bike is definitely made for that. You guys need top speed and better. You guys need better acceleration. You guys need better breaking news. Also if you guys are looking at the features etc., you need more powerful ones. Like if I tell you guys here the navigation date which you are able to use on the console. Mobile charging port is available. So, for riding at night, it is better for you guys to get the projector lamp here. Again I am saying friends all these features, a little better acceleration, a little better braking and handling, if you guys wanted better here as well like the equal Honda. You guys need thick and wide tyres etc. This is dual channel ABS, then you can say

29:10 switchable EBS for all these things, friends, if I say that you guys like liquid cool engine with six speed gearbox and you guys can pay 10-15000 more here, not ₹10,000 more, but ₹10,000 if you guys can pay more, 10 to ₹15,000, in my opinion, friends, the newly launched Hero X2R can also be a very good bike for you guys. Now friends, what are you getting in both the bikes ? Walk Around Ride Comparison Okay I have told you guys everything. Now what do you guys think, will you buy Honda CV 300F here in a budget of around Rs 2 lakh or would you like to buy Hero's Extreme TR here in a budget of Rs 2 lakh 10-15 lakh, please do not forget to tell us by writing in the comment below.
