Honda CB350 H’NESS Special Edition Expected to Launch Soon with New Colour

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is preparing to launch a Special Edition of the CB350 H’NESS. Leaked images suggest the new variant will feature a unique colour scheme, following the company’s strategy to refresh its 350cc classic motorcycle lineup. This move aims to replicate the success Honda achieved with its Activa scooter in the internal combustion engine segment.

Key Highlights

• Honda CB350 H’NESS Special Edition images leaked before official launch
• New variant expected with unique colour and gold highlights

New Special Edition Details

The first images of the CB350 H’NESS Special Edition surfaced ahead of an official launch. The leak came from a promotional blurb by BigWing Bengaluru dealership VFM Motors, which was organizing a ride event to Mandharagiri Hill scheduled for 19th April, 2026. In the promotional material, two CB350 H’NESS motorcycles appear alongside a Honda XL750 Transalp. One motorcycle displays a familiar Grey colour, while the other features a new, unannounced shade. This new colour is expected to be marketed as a Special Edition, similar to the CB350C Special Edition previously released by Honda.

Current Variants and Colours

The Honda CB350 H’NESS is currently available in three trim levels: DLX, DLX Pro, and DLX Pro Chrome. The DLX trim comes in Grey and Pearl Igneous Black. The DLX Pro is available in Precious Red Metallic, Pearl Deep Ground Grey, and Pearl Igneous Black. The DLX Pro Chrome offers Chrome Decent Blue Metallic, Chrome Pearl Deep Ground Grey, and Pearl Igneous Black, with unique chrome fenders and special graphics on the fuel tank.

The upcoming Special Edition is likely to be based on the DLX Pro trim. It is expected to feature a metallic gloss finish, possibly in Red or Maroon, accented with Gold highlights and Gold pinstriping. Special Edition badges may appear on the fuel tank and other areas of the motorcycle.

Engine and Performance

The CB350 H’NESS Special Edition will use the same 348.36cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine as the current model. This engine produces 20.78 bhp and 30 Nm of torque. It comes paired with a slipper clutch and a 5-speed gearbox. No mechanical changes are expected for the Special Edition.
