Honda’s CB350 series, including the H’ness CB350 and CB350 RS, has gained popularity for its retro charm and versatile platform. Now, Dirt Freak, a renowned garage, has taken the CB350 RS and transformed it into a stunning custom scrambler, elevating its off-road capabilities and aesthetics.
Design and Features:
- Off-Road Ready: Equipped with chunky block pattern tires and alloy wheels, the custom CB350 RS looks poised for off-road adventures. Metallic bash plates for the engine and exhaust reinforce its durability.
- Enhanced Protection: Knuckle guards provide additional protection, and options like Adventure Armour Hand Guard and Sonic Hand Guard with Carbon or Clear Protector from Zeta Racing offer customization.
- Scrambler Styling: A Scrambler-style handlebar and spikey aluminum footpegs from Zeta Racing add authenticity to its design, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
- Touring Upgrades: Handlebar risers provide a taller, more comfortable riding position for extended journeys. The addition of the Explorer Windshield Handle Brace with a smartphone holder enhances wind protection.
- Convenience Features: The DFG Side Bag Base allows easy mounting of saddlebags without a frame, enhancing the bike’s touring capabilities.
Performance and Mechanics:
- Unchanged Powertrain: The custom CB350 RS retains the stock 348.36cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, delivering 21 PS of power and 29.4 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
- Identical Components: While the engine remains untouched, other components such as suspension, braking, and chassis mirror those of the stock GB350 S sold in Japan, ensuring reliability and performance.
This custom Honda CB350 RS by Dirt Freak combines rugged off-road capability with touring enhancements, offering riders a unique blend of style, versatility, and performance.
