To celebrate one year of H'Ness CB350 in the Indian market, Honda Motorcycle India has launched its special Anniversary Edition variant at the 2021 India Bike Week (IBW) event. Priced at Rs 2.03 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is Rs 2,000 costlier than the standard DLX Pro trim.
Honda H'Ness CB350 Anniversary Edition – What's Special?
The new Anniversary Edition of the Honda H'Ness CB350 gets plenty of cosmetical additions for a more premium appeal. For starters, it comes in two new paint schemes — matte green and glossy black, with dedicated pinstripes. It also gets a split tan brown seat and gold-finished emblems on the fuel tank & side panels.
Apart from these above-mentioned additions, the CB350 Anniversary Edition remains unchanged. That said, the bike continues to come with the same 348.36cc single-cylinder counterbalanced air-cooled engine that churns out 21PS at 5500rpm and 30Nm at 3000rpm. Mated to a 5-speed transmission with a slip-&-assist clutch, it is the torquiest bike of its segment.
Similar to the top-spec DLX Pro trim, the Anniversary Edition also receives a host of best-in-class features like an all-LED illumination system, traction control (first-in-segment), dual-channel ABS, semi-digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth-based connectivity features and voice assist for navigation, call, messages and music control, etc. Underpinnings of the motorcycle include the telescopic front fork, twin rear shock absorbers, 310/240mm disc brake setup with dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS), etc.
In our opinion, the Honda H'Ness CB350 Anniversary Edition is good for those who desire a trendy yet retro motorcycle to stand out from the crowd. Also, it is up to Rs 12,000 more affordable than the Signals, Dark and Chrome series of Royal Enfield Classic 350.
