A Fresh Identity
With this launch, Honda has officially rebranded its well-known CB350 as the CB350C, signaling a more distinctive positioning in the mid-size retro segment. The new Special Edition doesn't just carry cosmetic updates - it also introduces a new badge and Special Edition insignia on the tank, giving the motorcycle a clear sense of individuality among retro-inspired rivals.
Styling Updates
Visually, the CB350C Special Edition sports a bolder stance, thanks to striped graphics on the fuel tank and both fenders, lending it a premium yet rugged flair. A chrome-finished rear grab rail adds a touch of vintage charm, while buyers also get to choose between black or brown seats, enhancing personalization. The Special Edition will be available in two paint options - Rebel Red Metallic and Matt Dune Brown - both designed to highlight the motorcycle's classic roots with a modern edge.
Features
Despite its old-school silhouette, the CB350C SE is equipped with a host of contemporary features. The digital-analogue instrument console integrates Honda's Smartphone Voice Control System , enabling turn-by-turn navigation and smartphone notifications. On the safety front, it packs dual-channel ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and an assist & slipper clutch - features that are uncommon in many classic motorcycles at this price point.
Engine and Performance
At its core, the motorcycle continues with Honda'S tried-and-tested 348.36cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This motor is BSVI OBD2B and E20 fuel compliant, delivering 21 bhp at 5,500 rpm and 29.5 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The tuning prioritizes smooth, usable power delivery across the rev range, making it equally adept at city commuting and relaxed highway cruising.
Why It Matters
The CB350C Special Edition isn'T about radical changes - it's about strengthening Honda's identity in the retro spacewhile giving enthusiasts fresh styling choices and a stronger sense of exclusivity. At just over Rs 2 lakh, it competes head-to-head with motorcycles like the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Jawa 350, but adds a layer of Hondas reliability, refinement, and tech-driven safety features.
