Honda Vietnam officially introduced the CB350 H’ness and a brand new Dealer Network for this model.
The demand for motorcycles in the automotive market is becoming increasingly diverse, especially among young people who seek exciting experiences and want to express their lifestyle through their choice of transportation.
In response to this trend, Honda Vietnam (HVN) has officially introduced the CB350 H’ness to the Vietnamese market. This model promises to be an iconic motorcycle that combines vintage style with modern power, providing a sense of pride for passionate riders who value strength, comfort, and contemporary flair.
An Iconic Design Masterpiece
In 1959, the CB series was introduced, representing a high-performance street motorcycle that was ready for racing. With its first mass-produced dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) engine, the first mass-produced inline-four-cylinder engine, and a rich history in motorcycle manufacturing, the CB series has made a significant impact on the motorcycle industry.
Building on the success of the legendary CB series, Honda launched the all-new CB350 H’ness in India in 2020. This classic yet modern motorcycle offers both power and comfort to riders. And today, HVN is proud to introduce this fully imported model to the Vietnamese market.
The CB350 H’ness is more than just a means of transportation; it is an endless source of inspiration for owners who crave exploration and seek a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of the times. With its exposed, upright engine design, the CB350 H’ness exudes power and presence, reminiscent of high-end large-displacement motorcycles.
Its double cradle frame encases the large engine and features a shiny chrome exhaust pipe. The round retro-style headlamp is equipped with a modern two-tier LED lighting system and a circular LED turn signal. The CB350 H’ness boasts a classic-shaped fuel tank with subtle flaring on both sides, highlighting its classic lines while exuding a sophisticated and youthful vibe. The 14-spoke cast wheels and wide tubeless tires with deep grooves provide agile, stable handling and a distinct masculine appearance.
Prioritizing rider comfort on every journey, the seat height is set at 800mm, providing a straight, natural sitting posture and easy control of the motorcycle. The flat seat design offers ample seating space for both the rider and pillion. Moreover, the CB350 H’ness features a powerful and resonant exhaust note. The large-diameter exhaust tip produces a crisp and deep sound that is truly exhilarating.
Powerful Engine for an Impressive Riding Experience
The heart of the CB350 is a 350cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivers strong performance with a maximum power of 15.5kW at 5,500rpm and a peak torque of 30Nm at 3,000rpm. In addition to its ability to generate high torque at low and medium engine speeds, the mainshaft of the gearbox is equipped with a counterbalancer to effectively minimize vibrations. This provides smooth acceleration and excellent maneuverability for urban commuting and weekend getaways.
Leading-Edge Technology and Modern Convenience
The CB350 H’ness is equipped with advanced technology and modern conveniences, making it the perfect companion for riders of all levels of experience with big bikes.
It features a slipper clutch system that prevents rear wheel lock-up caused by engine braking, resulting in lighter clutch actuation and smoother clutch operation. The synchronized front dual disc brakes with a diameter of 310mm and rear disc brakes with a diameter of 240mm are integrated with a 2-channel ABS system, providing effective speed control and preventing wheel lock-up during emergency braking situations.
The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system maintains traction between the rear tire and the road surface, automatically adjusting the engine’s torque output when wheel slip is detected. The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system not only enhances the rider’s safety by automatically activating the hazard lights when sudden deceleration is detected, but also alerts other vehicles behind the motorcycle, especially in low visibility conditions.
In addition to the LCD multi-function display, which provides a wealth of information such as fuel level, gear position, average fuel consumption, real-time fuel consumption, battery voltage, and remaining range, the CB350 also offers various convenient features. These include an engine kill switch integrated with the ignition switch and hazard lights that flash all four turn signals in emergency situations or during low visibility conditions.
A Brand New Dealer Network with A2 License Training Support
Recognizing the importance of providing the best experience to customers, HVN has carefully selected its top dealers to exclusively distribute the new product. The new Dealer Network is designed with a “Shop-in-Shop” concept, where each “shop” has its own independent display area, a wide range of accessories that reflect various lifestyles, and a warm and friendly environment for customers to explore. The newly recruited sales and technical staff at the Dealer Network are rigorously trained and, most importantly, share a passion for delivering excellent customer experiences.
The new CB Dealer Network will be initially launched with 19 Sales and Service Dealers authorized by Honda Vietnam (HEAD) and 3 Honda BigWing outlets, which have been officially renamed. This will be followed by 17 more HEAD Dealers in March, and more in the future. The exterior of each dealer will be adorned with a “CB Authorized Dealer” sign, making it easy for customers to identify.
The CB350 H’ness will be available for purchase starting from January 29, 2024, at the CB Dealer Network, with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty. In addition, to make it easier for customers to own and experience the new motorcycle, HVN provides A2 license training at its Safe Riding Training Center in Vinh Phuc province. The center is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, an advanced training program, and a dedicated team of professional and passionate instructors.
