Honda CB350, CB350 RS, CB350 Hness updated for 2025

Honda has refreshed its 350cc motorcycle lineup in India for the 2025 model year, introducing new color options and ensuring compliance with the latest emission standards. The updated range includes the CB350, CB350RS, and H’ness CB350, all of which now feature On-Board Diagnostics 2B (OBD2B) systems and are compatible with E20 fuel (20% ethanol blend).

Engine and Performance

All three models continue to be powered by the same 348cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, delivering 21hp at 5,500rpm and 30Nm of torque at 3,000rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The CB350 variant, however, has a slightly lower torque output of 29.5Nm. The engine has been updated to meet OBD2B standards and supports E20 fuel, aligning with contemporary environmental regulations.

New Color Options and Variants

Honda has introduced several new color schemes across the three models:

• CB350: Available in two variants—DLX and DLX Pro—priced at ₹2.15 lakh and ₹2.18 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively. The new color options include Mat Axis Grey Metallic, Mat Dune Brown, Rebel Red Metallic, Pearl Igneous Black, and Pearl Deep Ground Grey.

• CB350RS: Also offered in DLX and DLX Pro variants with identical pricing to the CB350. The DLX variant comes in Pearl Igneous Black and Pearl Deep Ground Grey, while the DLX Pro adds Rebel Red Metallic and Mat Axis Grey Metallic to its palette.

• H’ness CB350: This model is available in three variants—DLX, DLX Pro, and DLX Pro Chrome—with prices ranging from ₹2.10 lakh to ₹2.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The DLX variant is offered in Pearl Igneous Black and Pearl Deep Ground Grey; the DLX Pro adds Rebel Red Metallic; and the DLX Pro Chrome features Athletic Blue Metallic, Mat Massive Grey Metallic, and Pearl Nightstar Black, all with distinctive graphics and chrome accents.

Design and Features

While the overall design of the motorcycles remains consistent with previous models, the new color schemes and graphics provide a refreshed aesthetic. The H’ness CB350’s DLX Pro Chrome variant, in particular, stands out with its unique tank graphics and chrome finishes on the front and rear mudguards.

In terms of features, the CB350 series continues to offer a semi-digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, full LED lighting, traction control, gear position indicator, USB charging port, side stand engine cut-off, dual-channel ABS, and an Eco indicator, depending on the variant.

Conclusion

Honda’s 2025 updates to the CB350 lineup focus on compliance with current emission norms and the introduction of vibrant color options, enhancing the appeal of these models in the competitive 350cc segment. These updates aim to cater to riders seeking a blend of classic design and modern technology.
