Based on the patent images, the Honda CB350 model can be seen to have many characteristic design details of a Scrambler, including a metal frame along both sides of the fuel tank, a fork and an upward exhaust pipe.
Honda will keep the 350cc engine but will adjust the gear ratio to match the style and characteristics of the bike.
The engine of the Honda CB350 is a straight single-cylinder, 350cc displacement, air-cooled, producing 20.8 horsepower and a maximum torque of 30 Nm. The bike will use a 5-speed gearbox and a two-way slip clutch.
Honda has not announced the launch date of the new Scrambler version, but is expected to be in 2025. Besides the Scrambler version, CB350 will also have another version developed in Adventure style. The prices of the Scrambler and Adventure CB350 are expected to be higher than the original model.
