Honda has updated its CB350 family for 2026. The range now includes the CB350, the CB350C and the CB350RS, with a revised variant structure, new colour options and a lower starting price. The entry point into the range is the CB350 STD, listed at ₹1,95,200 ex-showroom, Bengaluru.
That starting figure is an ex-showroom price for one specific city. On-road prices will be higher and will differ from state to state. Buyers in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh should confirm the exact on-road figure with their local Honda BigWing dealer, because road tax and insurance are not uniform across India.
2026 Honda CB350 Range Price
Here is the variant-wise ex-showroom pricing for the 2026 range. These figures are ex-showroom Bengaluru. Prices vary by city.
| Model | Variant | Ex-showroom Price |
|---|---|---|
| CB350 | STD | ₹1,95,200 |
| CB350 | DLX | ₹1,97,900 |
| CB350 | Chrome | ₹1,99,900 |
| CB350C | STD | ₹2,00,300 |
| CB350C | DLX | ₹2,02,700 |
| CB350C | Special Edition | ₹2,04,700 |
| CB350RS | STD | ₹1,99,900 |
| CB350RS | DLX | ₹2,02,500 |
Two things are worth noting here. First, the CB350 is now the most affordable way into the range, which was not always the case in earlier years. Second, the CB350C sits at the top of the price list, not the CB350RS as some buyers might expect. That is because the CB350C is positioned as the more premium, classic-styled model in the family.
Confirm current pricing with your dealer before booking, as Honda can revise prices and city-wise ex-showroom figures are not identical across India.
2026 Honda CB350
The CB350 is the modern-retro roadster in the family. It is the model that was earlier sold under the H’Ness CB350 name, and Honda has now simplified the branding.
Variants: STD, DLX and Chrome.
Positioning: The CB350 is the most accessible model in the range, both in price and in character. It uses a round headlamp, a classic-shaped fuel tank, chrome or blacked-out detailing depending on the variant, and a relatively upright riding position. The Chrome variant adds more chrome finish and is the most expensive CB350 in the line-up at ₹1,99,900 ex-showroom.
What it suits: Buyers who want a traditional Honda roadster with retro styling, a comfortable riding position and the option of a more premium finish.
2026 Honda CB350C
The CB350C is the classic-styled model in the range, positioned above the CB350. It is the newest addition to the family and sits at the top of the pricing table.
Variants: STD, DLX and Special Edition.
Positioning: The CB350C is aimed at buyers who want a more classic, slightly cruiser-oriented look compared to the standard CB350. The styling details, seat and bodywork are different from the CB350, which is why it commands a higher price despite sharing the same engine platform. The Special Edition at ₹2,04,700 ex-showroom is the most expensive motorcycle in the 2026 CB350 range.
What it suits: Buyers who prefer the classic silhouette and are willing to pay more for it.
2026 Honda CB350RS
The CB350RS is the sportier interpretation of the same platform. It has a different riding position, a flatter seat, different bodywork and a more roadster-like stance compared to the standard CB350.
Variants: STD and DLX.
Positioning: The RS sits between the CB350 and the CB350C in price. At ₹1,99,900 for the STD and ₹2,02,500 for the DLX, it is priced slightly above the equivalent CB350 variants and below the CB350C.
What it suits: Buyers who want the CB350 platform with a slightly more involving riding position and a sportier visual identity.
What’s New for 2026?
The 2026 update is primarily about range structure, colours and pricing. It is not a mechanical overhaul.
Actual changes:
- A revised variant line-up across the three models, including the STD, DLX and Chrome structure for the CB350
- New colour options and updated graphics across the range
- The CB350C Special Edition variant
- Revised pricing with the CB350 now starting at ₹1,95,200 ex-showroom
What has not changed:
- The engine
- The chassis
- The suspension
- The braking hardware
- The core feature package
In other words, if you already own a CB350 family motorcycle, there is no mechanical upgrade here that changes how the bike performs. The update is about giving buyers more choice on finish, colour and variant.
Engine and Specifications
All three models share the same 348.36cc single-cylinder engine. Honda has not introduced different engine tunes for the CB350, CB350C or CB350RS.
| Specification | 2026 Honda CB350 Range |
|---|---|
| Engine | 348.36cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke |
| Displacement | 348.36cc |
| Power | 20.8 bhp at 5,500 rpm |
| Torque | 30 Nm at 3,000 rpm |
| Gearbox | 5-speed |
| Clutch | Assist and slipper clutch |
| Fuel system | Programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) |
| Cooling | Air-cooled |
| Emission compliance | BS-VI compliant |
| Front suspension | Telescopic fork |
| Rear suspension | Twin shock absorbers |
| Front brake | Disc |
| Rear brake | Disc |
| ABS | Dual-channel |
| Fuel tank | Around 15 litres |
Since all three models use the same engine, you should choose between them based on styling, riding position, variant equipment and price, not on performance. Any claim that one is meaningfully faster than the other would not be accurate.
Features
The feature list is broadly shared, but not every feature is available on every variant. Confirm the exact equipment with your dealer before deciding.
Features seen across the range include:
- Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
- Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity
- Assist and slipper clutch
- Dual-channel ABS
- LED lighting
- Digital-analogue instrument cluster
- Hazard switch
The CB350 Chrome, CB350C Special Edition and higher variants typically add visual and finish upgrades rather than different mechanical equipment. If a feature matters to you, check whether it is part of the variant you are considering, because Honda does not offer every feature on every trim.
CB350 vs CB350C vs CB350RS
This is the section that matters most if you are trying to pick between the three.
| Area | CB350 | CB350C | CB350RS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Character | Modern-retro roadster | Classic/cruiser-oriented | Sportier roadster |
| Riding position | Upright | Relaxed, more classic | Slightly more forward-leaning |
| Seat | Standard | Classic-styled | Flatter |
| Styling | Round headlamp, classic tank | Classic silhouette | Sporty bodywork |
| Variants | STD, DLX, Chrome | STD, DLX, Special Edition | STD, DLX |
| Starting price | ₹1,95,200 | ₹2,00,300 | ₹1,99,900 |
| Top variant price | ₹1,99,900 (Chrome) | ₹2,04,700 (Special Edition) | ₹2,02,500 (DLX) |
| Engine | 348.36cc | 348.36cc | 348.36cc |
The engine is the same across all three. What you are choosing between is styling, riding position, variant equipment and price. That is the honest way to look at it.
Bookings and Availability
Honda retails the CB350 range through its BigWing dealerships. Availability can differ between models and variants, so it is worth calling your nearest BigWing showroom before visiting.
- Bookings: Usually open at BigWing dealerships. Confirm the booking amount locally.
- Availability: Colour and variant stock varies by dealership. Some variants may need to be ordered.
- Delivery: Timelines depend on the variant and your city. Ask for a written delivery estimate.
Do not assume all three models and all eight variants are sitting in stock at every showroom. In practice, the more popular colours move faster and the less common variants may take longer.
Which CB350 Should You Consider?
This is a factual breakdown, not a ranking.
CB350 — Consider it if you want the most affordable entry into the range, prefer a classic roadster stance, and are happy with the standard equipment package. The Chrome variant is worth looking at if finish matters to you.
CB350C — Consider it if you prefer a more classic silhouette, want the most premium finish in the range, and are willing to pay a bit more for it. The Special Edition is aimed at buyers who want the top-of-the-line look.
CB350RS — Consider it if you want a slightly sportier riding position, prefer the RS’s styling, and want the platform with a different visual identity.
None of these is objectively the best. They serve different preferences within the same mechanical package.
Price Differences at a Glance
- The range starts at ₹1,95,200 (CB350 STD) and ends at ₹2,04,700 (CB350C Special Edition).
- The total spread across the eight variants is ₹9,500.
- The CB350C is the most expensive model line, starting ₹5,100 above the CB350 STD.
- The CB350RS sits between the two, starting ₹4,700 above the CB350 STD.
These gaps are modest, which means the decision usually comes down to styling and variant features rather than budget alone.
Mileage
Honda has not published a single official mileage figure that applies to every rider. Real-world efficiency depends on traffic, speed, riding style, load, road conditions, tyre pressure and maintenance.
Owner-reported figures for the CB350 platform generally fall in the mid-30s to low-40s kmpl range in mixed conditions. That is owner experience, not a certified figure. Treat it as a rough guide only.
Competitors
At this price point, the CB350 range competes with several established motorcycles:
- Royal Enfield Classic 350 — similar retro brief, different engine character and weight
- Royal Enfield Hunter 350 — lighter and more city-focused
- Royal Enfield Bullet 350 — classic styling with a long-standing fan base
- Jawa 350 — retro styling with a different engine layout
- Triumph Speed 400 — more modern roadster positioning and a different performance bracket
Each of these differs in engine character, weight, riding position and equipment. The CB350 family is not a performance-oriented range. It is built around relaxed, torquey riding with retro styling. If outright performance is your priority, some of the alternatives above will suit you better.

Final Thoughts
The 2026 Honda CB350 range gives buyers three distinct interpretations of the same platform, with a starting price of ₹1,95,200 ex-showroom. The update is about choice — more variants, new colours and a wider spread of finishes — rather than new mechanical hardware.
Before booking, get a written on-road price breakup from your dealer, confirm which features your chosen variant actually includes, and check whether the colour you want is in stock. Those three steps will tell you more about the real value on offer than the ex-showroom number alone.
