However, this speculation has to be taken with a pinch of salt as Honda had also patented the Rebel 300 reportedly in India. And, in July last year, it was reported that the Rebel 300 will not be Honda’s Royal Enfield challenger. Moreover, the brand also reportedly patented the XRE300 in May 2017, and till date there is no sign of its launch.
