Honda is set to roll out a thrilling addition to its lineup. Brace yourselves for the highly anticipated CB350 Scrambler, a bold move that follows closely on the heels of Honda’s adventure-inspired bike, drawing inspiration from the Himalayan 411.
CB350 Scrambler Design
Design patents that have recently leaked have offered fans a sneak peek at the fascinating world of a tough scrambler version built on the reliable CB350 platform. The photos that were leaked speak loud and clear, exposing design cues that clearly shout “scrambler.” Keep an eye out for strong metal frames next to the fuel tank, fork guards, and a self-assuredly upswept exhaust—all of which are evocative of the adventure motorcycle featured in new patent photos.
Shared DNA with CB350 Series
Rumor has it that Honda is not reinventing the wheel, quite literally, for the CB350 Scrambler. Instead, it is expected to leverage the same sturdy chassis and reliable engine that power the CB350 series. While the engine tuning is likely to remain untouched, subtle tweaks to gear ratios might be in the cards to align with the adventurous spirit of this scrambler. To balance the equation economically, Honda is set to borrow several cycle parts from the established CB350 platform.
CB350 Scrambler’s Launch Date?
While Honda is keeping its cards close to its chest regarding the official launch date, industry insiders are placing their bets on an early 2025 introduction for the CB350 Scrambler. It seems like the wait will be well worth it. As for pricing, speculation is rife that both the adventure and scrambler variants will position themselves a notch above the current CB350 range. This strategic move reflects the anticipated premium features and stylish body designs that will characterize these upcoming models.
Honda’s Strategic To Taking on Royal Enfield
In a bid to capture the hearts and roads currently ruled by Royal Enfield motorcycles, Honda is pulling out all the stops. The CB350 Scrambler and its adventure sibling are not just motorcycles; they are strategic moves in Honda’s game plan to directly challenge the dominance of some of the iconic Royal Enfield models.
