NEW DELHI: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India on Tuesday launched CB350 RS in two trims starting at Rs 1.96 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The company has begun mass production and started taking bookings for the CB350 RS.
The CB350 RS (Road Sailing) shares several components from engine to platform with the H’ness CB350. The 350-cc gets wide pattern tyres, LED head and tail lamps, dual tone fuel tank tuck and roll seat, semi-digital instrument console and upswept exhaust pipe.
The muffler on side gets a smoky-black finish accentuated with the use of chrome. Fork boots on front suspension give a rugged look while the sporty-looking grab rail compliments the overall design of CB350RS.
The scrambler gets the same 350cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke fuel-injected OHC single-cylinder engine that delivers 20.8 hp and 30 Nm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
The 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. The engine uses offset cylinder position that reduces the sliding friction and an asymmetrical connecting rod ensures minimum energy loss while combustion. It uses closed crankcase with a wall between the crankcase and transmission reducing energy loss due to internal friction.
In terms of hardware, the CB350 RS gets assist and slipper clutch, selectable torque control and dual-channel ABS.
The 19-inch front wheel gives a distinctive modern look coupled with a 17-inch wheel at the back providing a lower rear stance.
The half-duplex cradle frame in steel pipe is used for a soft steering feel. Load allocated to the front is optimized by mounting the engine at low position to lower the center of gravity, which affects the overall riding feel and maneuverability of the motorcycle.
A highly rigid box-section steel tube is used for the swing arm to effectively reduce distortion and transmit torque of the driving force to road surface improving overall comfortable riding feel. The skid plate underneath provides extra protection for engine so you can take on streets effortlessly.
A top HMSI official also said the company is increasing the production of H’ness CB350 to get the demand alongside expanding BigWing dealership network.
