Honda CB350: Specs & Features

Powering the CB350 is a 348.36cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 20.78 bhp and 30 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox and is housed in a double-cradle frame, which contributes to the motorcycle’s composed ride characteristics. The Quick Response Team version is equipped with additional features such as side and rear storage panniers and Honda-branded safety helmets to enhance utility for emergency services.

Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and dual gas-charged rear shock absorbers. Braking is managed by a 310mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear, both assisted by a dual-channel ABS setup. The CB350 rides on alloy wheels fitted with road-focused tyres and has a kerb weight of 186 kg.

The design leans heavily into old-school aesthetics. It features large, curved front and rear fenders, a slightly larger tank, and a chrome-finished peashooter-style exhaust. The overall design language closely resembles that of classic motorcycles, establishing a visual identity that positions it against traditional retro bikes in the Indian market.

The CB350 is equipped with full-LED lighting, alloy wheels, and a digital-analogue instrument cluster. Higher variants benefit from features like Honda Smartphone Voice Control, Honda Selectable Torque Control, and an emergency stop signal system, enhancing its safety and connectivity suite.
