Honda CB350C Black Edition Launch Brings Stealthy Styling Options

Honda CB350C Black Edition Launch Overview

Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) has rolled out a fresh color variant for its popular retro classic motorcycle ahead of the Diwali festival. This rollout follows the brand's ongoing efforts to expand its CB lineup and compete directly within the classic retro segment.

The newly introduced color variant, widely associated with the honda cb350c black edition launch, delivers a much darker appearance than the standard black options previously available. Built upon the entry-level STD variant, this style appeals directly to buyers seeking a stealthy aesthetic.

Styling and Blacked-Out Elements

Previously, a black finish was restricted to the Pearl Igneous Black colorway offered on the higher DLX and DLX Pro models, which still retained significant chrome details. The latest option moves closer to an all-black look without being entirely murdered out. Several components that previously featured chrome are now dark, including the stalks holding both fenders, the headlight cowl, the lower sections of the front RSU telescopic forks, and the horns.

Additionally, the chrome plate bearing the Honda logo on the crankcase is now finished in black, alongside the rearview mirrors. However, select metallic touches remain, such as the exhaust pipe, handlebar, rear twin shock suspension, and minor highlights on the handlebar clamps.

Mechanical Specifications and Core Features

Underneath the updated stealth styling, the motorcycle retains its established mechanical configuration. The machine utilizes conventional rounded fenders instead of a chopped design, coupled with a sleeker pea-shooter exhaust setup.

Powering the vehicle is the familiar 348.36cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor that generates 21 PS of power and 29.5 Nm of torque. This engine pairs with a 5-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch to ensure smooth gear shifts. Pricing for this new dark variant sits at approximately Rs 2.32 lakh on-road.
