Honda has updated its neo-retro CB350 range in India with new colour options, refreshing the CB350, CB350C and CB350RS. The update was announced on July 24, 2026, as part of a larger unveiling that also introduced the all-new CB500 and nine other two-wheelers for the Indian market.
The changes here are purely cosmetic. All three motorcycles carry on with the same 348.6cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, tuned for 21hp and 29.5Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch. Honda hasn’t touched the hardware. What’s changed is the paint.
The bigger news: H’ness is gone
The most notable part of this update isn’t a colour at all. Honda has dropped the “H’ness” suffix from the CB350 nameplate. The bike that launched in 2020 as the H’ness CB350 is now simply badged CB350, bringing it in line with the CB350C and CB350RS naming already used across the rest of the range.

What’s new across the three bikes
The CB350 keeps its contemporary styling cues, including its clear-lens tail-light, and gets a fresh set of colour options to go with the naming update.
The CB350C, Honda’s custom-styled cruiser in the trio, leans further into heritage-led design, with the new paint, graphics, chrome detailing and seat finishes doing a lot of the work in setting its character apart from its siblings.
The CB350RS, positioned as the sportiest of the three and aimed at a younger buyer, retains its wider rear tyre and flatter, more forward-set handlebar, now paired with sportier graphics and darker finishes as part of the refresh.
Honda hasn’t detailed the full new colour palette yet, and it isn’t clear whether every new shade will be offered across both the DLX and DLX Pro variants.
Shared equipment stays the same
Feature-wise, all three motorcycles continue with all-LED lighting, Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and dual-channel ABS with disc brakes at both ends.
Pricing
Honda has not yet announced pricing for the updated range. Ahead of this refresh, the outgoing line-up was priced at roughly ₹1.97-2.00 lakh for the CB350, ₹1.98-2.02 lakh for the CB350C, and ₹1.98-2.00 lakh for the CB350RS (ex-showroom). TechyTrends.in will update this report once official pricing for the new colour options is confirmed.
