Honda CB190TR Design Patent Filed in India; Launch Soon?

Honda has sparked excitement in the Indian motorcycling community by filing a design patent for the CB190TR, hinting at a possible launch in the near future. This neo-retro-styled roadster, which is already available in select international markets, blends classic aesthetics with modern engineering. Featuring a minimalistic design, the CB190TR boasts a sleek fuel tank, round LED headlamp, upright handlebars, and dual-purpose tyres, making it an appealing option for both city commutes and light off-road adventures. Powered by an 184cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, it offers a balance of performance and efficiency. While Honda has yet to confirm its launch timeline, the patent filing suggests that the CB190TR could soon join India’s growing retro-modern motorcycle segment.

Honda CB190TR: Key Details

The CB190TR design patent reveals a strong resemblance to the CB300R in its appearance while incorporating key elements from the Hornet 2.0. The bike is likely to share components such as the engine, USD front forks, braking hardware, and wheels with the Hornet. The braking system comprises disc brakes on both ends, paired with a dual-channel ABS for superior safety and control.

Both motorcycles feature a 12-litre fuel tank, but their designs cater to different styles. The CB190TR's neo-retro aesthetic is underscored by circular designs across elements such as the headlamp, turn signals, and instrument cluster. Other design highlights include a flat single-piece seat, and a distinctive exhaust muffler, with its styling influenced by the CB300R. Additionally, the inclusion of alloy wheels ensures compatibility with tubeless tyres.

Coming to the mechanical side of the things, the CB190TR is expected to be powered by the same 184cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine as the Hornet 2.0, delivering 16.7bhp of maximum power and 15.9Nm of peak torque. This engine will be paired with a five-speed gearbox and a slipper assist clutch.

Upon its launch, the Honda CB190TR will take on the likes of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin in India’s growing retro-modern motorcycle segment.
