Product features

CB350RS is styled to stand out from every direction. Round-shaped LED headlamp with a unique ring design accentuates the retro-modern look. The eye-shaped LED winkers, and under-seat sleek LED tail lamp outlines a timeless silhouette.

Lighter black smoked front and rear fender helps CB350RS shed an overall weight and give a sportier image. The muffler on the side gets smoky-black finish accentuated with the use of chrome. Fork boots on front suspension provide a rugged look while the Sporty looking grab rail compliments the overall design of CB350RS, the company said.

It is powered by a 350cc, air-cooled 4-stroke OHC single-cylinder engine, which produces max power of 15.5 kW@5500 rpm. The advanced PGM-FI system using on-board sensors constantly ensures optimum fuel delivery to the engine as per the riding conditions allowing efficient combustion and lesser emissions.

It delivers a category-leading max torque of 30 Nm@3000 rpm, making it an easy-going versatile motorcycle for an urban daily city commute, HMSI added.
