This Super-Affordable Entry-Level Adventure Bike Looks Perfect for a Totally Different Purpose

You could take this moto on an epic journey, but the specs hint at a much more utilitarian (but still fun) role.

While I am not certain what, if anything, Leonart means in English, I am pretty confident it does not translate to “branding expert.”

I draw that conclusion entirely from the Barcelona-based brand’s latest release, which is named like a sport bike, positioned like a touring bike, styled like an adventure bike and perhaps best used for something completely different.

The adventure vibes are strong with this one. Swap out the tires for knobbies and you can wander off the beaten path.

That said, I am inclined to cut the Leonart Racer 300 some slack based on an incredibly budget-friendly price point and approachable dimensions.

Plus, assuming you could actually get this rig in the US, it could be the ultimate knock-around-town ride.

Go speed Racer go

The anime reference above feels apt, as this bike has as much to do with Asia as it does with Spain. While the Racer 300 was designed and spec’ed in Spain, it is manufactured in China.

That’s a fact but not a slight, as Chinese moto manufacturing has exploded in recent years, with a ton of brands including Benda, CFMoto, Kove, QJMotor and Voge making noise of late.

That’s to say nothing of the various Italian-branded, Chinese-made bikes from the likes of Benelli, Morbidelli, Moto Morini and more.

What’s much more important is the feature set the Racer 300 offers, especially considering its crazy affordable starting price of €3,999, which roughly converts to about $4,700 USD.

Mistaken identity

To make sense of this rig, one must look past its name, appearance and even what the brand itself says about it because to paraphrase the great Rasheed Wallace, “specs don’t lie.” 

Of particular note here is the liquid-cooled 300cc single-cylinder engine, controlled by a six-speed gearbox and making a solid 28 horsepower and 18.44 ft-lbs of torque.

I’m not sure I wanna ride cross-country with that power plant under me, but it’s just about perfect for urban commuting and errands.

The case for city use is strengthened by the approachable 31.1-inch high seat and 331-pound weight, which make the bike plenty nimble enough for low-speed maneuvers, navigating gridlock and easy parking.

The upright, ADV-style stance, inverted fork and rear monoshock keep the ride comfortable while disc brakes and rear ABS keep it safe.

High fuel efficiency (roughly 76 mpg) and a 4.5-gallon tank mean you can go long (340 miles, theoretically) when the situation calls for it.

Details on the TFT screen are scant, but it’s certainly big enough, and the resolution looks crisp.

Adding to the appeal are a few extras you might not expect at this price, including a 5-inch TFT screen, USB charging and full LED lighting. 

The paint scheme’s desert vibes aren’t bad either, even if you’d be absolutely nuts to take on Dakar with this thing.

Availability and pricing

The Leonart Racer 300 is available overseas for €3,999, which roughly converts to $4,700 USD. Time will tell if it ever reaches the North American market, where it could make some waves.
