Expert Verdict on R3 2023-2026

Pros & Cons of R3 2023-2026
What we admire in this bike
Engine performance is brilliant
Refined redline behaviour
Braking is very strong & spot-on
Suspension setup is perfectly tuned for road
Overall design & build quality is superb
What could have been better
Design is already aged in global markets
No modern features like the TFT console
Lack of safety features like slipper clutch
- The strongest aspect of the R3 is its engine performance. The 321cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine offers a very strong performance. In our tests, the indicated top speed was upwards of 170 kmph at the BIC, Noida. The engine is very smooth and rich in torque; especially in the mid-range. Below 3,000 rpm, it doesn’t feel very torquey but post it, the bike simply flies. Also, the redline performance above 9,000 rpm is simply stupendous. There is some minor buzz from the engine around 6,000-7,000 rpm.
- The 6-speed gearbox is very slick and easy to use. There are no false neturals and the feel of using it is also very decent.
- The trellis perimeter frame of the R3 makes it one of the sharpest handling bikes in its segment. It is fairly easy to ride, the turning radius is also moderate but the agility is superb. You can easily flick the bike and lean it extremely on tight corners. Handling experience of the R3 will make you buy one.
- The USD front suspension is not adjustable on the R3 but the rear monoshock has a preload adjustment. However, you’ll not need to adjust it a lot due to the brilliant tuning. The bike is neither stiff nor soft. It handles well on the corners while the undulations of the road are easily absorbed by the suspension. But, it is the sharp potholes that’ll feel on the handlebar due to the settings. Overall, if ridden on the tarmac, the R3 remains pliant most of the time.
- Equipped with a 282mm disc at the front and 220mm disc at the rear, the braking of R3 is spot-on. The bike stops in a straight line even after braking above 150 kmph. The stability and the braking bite of the R3 make it a rider-oriented bike. Also, we noticed that during our tests there was no brake fade even after repeated hard braking use on the track.
- The core area of lag for the R3 is the features department. It has nothing to offer to the consumers here. You only get a digital instrument console. There are no features like Quickshifter, riding modes, TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and even a slipper clutch.
- The design of the R3 is beautiful to look at. However, it is not intimidating like the smaller R15 M. The R3 is already on sale in the global markets and hence a fresh flair in its design is required. The front gives you a proper big bike feel but the rear profile looks nimble.
R3 2023-2026 body specifications:
| Ground Clearance | 160 mm |


- The R3 is not a super sports bike but it is a sports tourer. Hence, the clip-on handlebar offers a commanding yet comfortable posture. Also, the rear-set footpegs are made for aggressive riding but the overall riding triangle of the R3 is comparatively comfortable to its rivals. The seat is also adequately cushioned but the tank hinders the leg movements.
- In terms of safety, the only feature you get is a dual-channel ABS.
