At the heart of the Honda's new retro-classic cruiser sits a 348.36 cc, single cylinder, air-cooled engine which is known to deliver 20.8 PS of maximum power at 5,500 rpm and 30 Nm of peak torque at 3,000 rpm. The engine has been mounted on a half duplex cradle frame.

Honda is hoping to mount a challenge to Royal Enfield and will sell H'Ness CB 350 through its BigWing dealership which means this bike will become the most affordable offering in the premium network of the company.

Globally, Honda has a 37% share in the market for two-wheelers and sells 55 million units each year. India is a key part of the Japanese company's plans and the H'Ness CB 350 carries a whole lot of weight of expectations.

Honda has already commenced bookings for the H'Ness CB 350 on the official website for a token amount of 5,000. The company is expecting a good response for the H'Ness CB 350 in the upcoming festive season.
