Honda has launched its updated CB350 line-up in India, comprising the CB350, CB350C and CB350RS. The range was first showcased in July, with the CB350RS now available for purchase, while the CB350 and CB350C will go on sale from October.
Bookings are currently open through Honda’s website and BigWing dealerships for Rs 5,000.
The biggest changes are to the variant structure and pricing, while the mechanical and feature package remains unchanged.
Honda CB350 Range Gets Revised Variant Structure
Honda has simplified the CB350 line-up by dropping the H’ness name. The former H’ness-based top variant is now called the CB350 Chrome.
The CB350 range is now priced as follows:
| Variant | New price |
|---|---|
| CB350 STD | Rs 1.95 lakh |
| CB350 DLX | Rs 1.98 lakh |
| CB350 Chrome | Rs 2.00 lakh |
| CB350C STD | Rs 2.00 lakh |
| CB350C DLX | Rs 2.03 lakh |
| CB350C Special Edition | Rs 2.05 lakh |
| CB350RS STD | Rs 2.00 lakh |
| CB350RS DLX | Rs 2.03 lakh |
The new CB350 STD brings the entry price down by Rs 2,000 compared with the previous range. The CB350 DLX is now around Rs 900 more expensive, while the CB350 Chrome is marginally cheaper than the variant it replaces.
The CB350C variants have received increases of around Rs 2,000, while the CB350RS range is around Rs 2,000 more expensive.
CB350RS Gets New Colour
The CB350RS receives an additional colour option with the update. Its DLX variant can now be specified in Pearl Siren Blue, while the existing six colours receive slightly revised graphics.
Apart from the colour and graphics changes, the CB350RS remains mechanically unchanged.
Same 348cc Engine and Features
All three models continue to use Honda's 348.36cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing 20.7hp and 30Nm. The engine continues to be paired with the same transmission and is equipped with a slip-and-assist clutch.
Standard safety and connectivity equipment across the range includes:
- Honda Selectable Torque Control
- Dual-channel ABS
- Slip-and-assist clutch
- Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity
There are no mechanical or feature changes with the updated line-up.
Availability and Pricing
The CB350RS is available immediately, while the CB350 and CB350C will become available from October.
With the revised variant structure, Honda now has a slightly lower entry point for the CB350 while expanding the range across three distinct versions. The underlying engine and equipment package, however, remains unchanged.
