Bookings for the updated CB350 family are live on Honda’s website and at BigWing dealerships, with a non‑refundable Rs 5,000 to secure a slot. The CB350RS, the flagship of the trio, can be taken off the lot immediately, while the newer CB350 and CB350C variants are slated for October.
Honda has trimmed the nomenclature, dropping the old H’ness tag and renaming the top model as the CB350 Chrome. The revised lineup now has five variants: STD at ₹1.95 lakh, DLX at ₹1.98 lakh, Chrome at ₹2.00 lakh, and the CB350C variants—STDR at ₹2.00 lakh, DLX at ₹2.03 lakh, Special Edition at ₹2.05 lakh. The CB350RS follows a similar pattern: STDR at ₹2.00 lakh and DLX at ₹2.03 lakh. The price shifts mean the entry model is a couple of thousand rupees cheaper than the previous generation, while the higher trims have nudged up.
Under the hood, everything stays the same: a 348.36 cc, air‑cooled, single‑cylinder engine that churns out 20.7 hp and 30 Nm of torque, paired with a 5‑speed gearbox and Honda’s slip‑and‑assist clutch. Standard safety gear—Honda Selectable Torque Control, dual‑channel ABS, and RoadSync smartphone connectivity—ships with every variant, ensuring riders get the familiar reliability without any new tech gimmicks.
The CB350RS will hit the streets now, while the CB350 and CB350C will roll out across the country in October. Buyers can expect the new colour palette—Pearl Siren Blue for the CB350RS DLX and refreshed graphics on the existing six hues—once the models hit the showroom floors.
In the 350‑cc segment, the CB350 sits in the same league as Yamaha’s MT‑03, which offers 29 hp at a price of ₹2.29 lakh, and is cheaper than the CB350C range. For riders looking to upgrade from a 125‑cc bike or step into a more powerful naked bike without breaking the bank, the updated CB350 offers a familiar engine, a trimmed price list, and the same level of ride quality that Honda’s reputation guarantees.
