The Honda CB350RS is the scrambler avatar of the H’ness CB350. The bike aims to provide a more sporty riding experience compared to its retro-modern cousin. Honda has treated the CB350RS with more modern design touches like sleeker turn indicators, a raised exhaust and a sleeker tail lamp. It comes equipped with dual-sport tyres which make it capable of soft-roading. The 348.36cc, single-cylinder engine that comes in the H’ness CB350 can also be seen powering the CB350RS. It produces the same 20.7 hp of peak power and 30 Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are taken up by a 5-speed gearbox. It also gets Honda Selectable Traction Control (HSTC) which is basically a traction control system. The rear tyre has a wider profile for better stability. The CB350RS, however, loses out on a few features like voice commands and a USB charger. The bike is available in monotone and dual-tone colour options. Starting at a price of Rs 1.96 lakh (ex-showroom) the CB350RS commands a small premium over the H’ness CB350.

Honda CB350RS Braking and Safety

Braking duties on the CB350RS are taken up by a 310mm disc brake upfront along with a 240mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) comes as standard with the bike for additional safety and brings the bike to a halt whenever required while preventing any wheel lock. The rear brake lever looks like one you would find on adventure bikes. Other safety bits on the CB350 include all-LED headlight, Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) tech and hazard lamps.
Honda CB350RS Mileage

The CB350 comes with a 15-litre fuel tank and you can return a fuel efficiency figure of about 35kmpl when riding normally. This means that you can ride around in the city without having to worry about refuelling too much. Take it on highways and the bike could give you a range of 500-550km on a full tank. So, you can go on long journeys and will not have to stop too many times to refuel the bike.
