To maintain its dominance among bikes, Honda BigWing is gearing up to launch a new and magical ‘Special Edition’ of its most successful bike, the CB350 H’ness. If you’re looking for a ride in 2026 that’s a ‘Sultan’ of speed and a powerful presence that will make its mark on the roads, this upcoming edition will be a perfect choice.
According to the latest reports from April 2026, a new maroon and gold paint scheme has been spotted in recently leaked images, perfectly poised to replicate the magical success of the CB350C Special Edition that arrived in 2025.
New Look and Design
Honda has made several precise cosmetic changes to the upcoming Special Edition to make it look more luxurious and rugged than ever. According to leaked information, the bike will feature a maroon or dark red base color with golden pinstriping, giving it a strong and premium feel.
The precise ‘Special Edition’ badging on the fuel tank and the strong chrome-finished fenders will make it a strong street presence. This new look is especially suitable for riders who want a strong stance and a dash of brilliance with a classic design.
Engine and Performance
In terms of performance, the Special Edition will retain the same 348.36cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, known for its steely refinement. This engine produces a robust 21 PS of power and a crisp 30 Nm of torque, ensuring a smooth ride in both city traffic and on the highway.
For precise and accurate acceleration, the 5-speed gearbox features the unique technology of assist and slipper clutch, which makes gear shifting smooth and effortless. This powerful Honda engine will continue to impress on the roads with its vibration-free performance.
