    2024 Honda CB350 Launched With Clip-On Handlebars From Daytona

    Daytona Clip-On Handlebar Kit For Honda CB350 Lineup – Matte BlackDaytona Introduces Sporty Clip-On Handlebars for 2024 Honda CB350 Lineup, Enhancing its Neo-Retro AppealThe 350cc motorcycle market in India has been dominated by Royal Enfield’s Classic 350, but competitors are emerging to grab a share of this lucrative niche. The recent introduction of the Jawa 350 and updated Honda’s CB350 lineup has added more variety to this segment. In Japan, where the CB350 is available, motorcycle enthusiasts can now opt for a sportier riding experience with the introduction of race-style clip-on handlebars from Daytona.Exploring the 2024 Honda CB350 Lineup with Daytona’s Clip-On HandlebarsThe Honda CB350 lineup has made a significant impact in India, competing with the iconic Royal Enfield Classic 350. Sold in Japan, Australia, and select ASEAN nations, these motorcycles are manufactured in India and then shipped to Japan, where they are marketed under the GB350 branding. The standard GB350 corresponds to India’s H’ness CB350, GB350 S to CB350 RS, and GB350 C to CB350 (Classic).Daytona Clip-On Handlebar Kit For Honda CB350 Lineup – BuffedWhile the entire 2024 CB350 lineup in Japan comes equipped with conventional handlebars, the renowned aftermarket parts manufacturer, Daytona Corp, has introduced a new set of sporty clip-on handlebars designed specifically for the Honda CB350 lineup. This departure from conventional styling adds a neo-retro touch to the motorcycles, bringing them closer to the aesthetics of a Cafe Racer.In 2023, Honda in India launched the “My CB, My Way” campaign, offering Custom Kits for the CB350. One of the most appealing kits was the Cafe Racer Custom, priced at Rs. 22,200 for CB350 and Rs. 17,500 for CB350 RS. However, these kits missed the inclusion of clip-on handlebars, which are now offered by Daytona as a separate accessory.2024 Honda CB350 Clip-On HandlebarsDiscovering the Daytona Kit FeaturesDaytona’s kit, named “Separate Handset GB350/S (2023 Specification),” includes a top bridge, handle clamp, handle, throttle sleeve, clutch cable, throttle cable, and a brake hose. The kit is available in two finishes – Buffed (chrome) and Matte Black. The Buffed finish complements the H’ness CB350 (GB350), while the Matte Black suits the CB350 RS (GB350 S). The pricing for the Buffed finish is JPY 61,600, and the Matte Black is priced at JPY 57,200, approximately Rs. 34,000 and Rs. 31,600 in Indian currency, considering current exchange rates.2024 Honda CB350 Clip-On HandlebarsThe enhancement of the Honda CB350 lineup with Daytona’s clip-on handlebars not only elevates the visual appeal but also offers riders a chance to personalize their motorcycles for a sportier and more dynamic riding experience. As the retro classic motorcycle segment continues to evolve, aftermarket upgrades like these contribute to the individuality and customization options available to motorcycle enthusiasts.It’s worth noting that the 2024 Honda CB350 lineup, whether in its standard form or with Daytona’s clip-on handlebars, retains its reliable performance with a single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 4V 348cc engine generating 20.7 bhp and 29.4 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and features a slipper clutch for smoother gear transitions. As the demand for unique and customized motorcycles grows, collaborations between manufacturers and aftermarket specialists like Daytona are likely to shape the future of the motorcycle market. More

    Ather Rizta New Teaser Features Anubhav Singh Bassi – Launch In June

    Ather Rizta New Teaser Features Anubhav Singh BassiAs compared to the sharp profile of Ather 450 range, the upcoming Ather Rizta looks chubbier and has larger dimensionsOne of the early entrants in electric two-wheeler space, Ather Energy currently has the 450S, 450X and 450 Apex in its portfolio. All three scooters have the same basic design, although they differ in terms of pricing, features and styling. To attract an entirely new segment of users, Ather is working on a brand-new family-oriented electric scooter named Rizta.Ather Rizta – New teaser revealedAhead of launch, Ather has teased their new scooter once again. This time via popular comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi’s Insta profile. Bassi shares the teaser with the quote “Yeh hai mera naya #Rizta. Ather ka naya family scooter. Kisi ko batana mat but maine toh test ride leli hai. Can’t wait for you and your family to ride the new Rizta soon.”Ather Rizta and Anubhav Singh BassiFrom the new teaser, we get a better look at the design of new Ather Rizta. Ather’s existing 450 scooters have a sharp profile that appeals to younger audiences. Upcoming Rizta is different, as it acquires a more conventional design format. Something similar to the current breed of bestselling family-oriented ICE scooters such as Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access. For everyday needs, the classic design format comes across as a more practical choice.Ather Rizta has smooth, curvy panelling all across. The LED headlight is positioned at the lower section of the front apron and it sits flush with the surrounding structure. The large front fender follows the classic design format and is distinct from the 450 range. Another key feature revealed is a large instrument panel. Whether it is a touchscreen or a simple LCD unit will depend on the pricing strategy being used for the scooter. The LCD unit can be seen with the existing Ather 450S. It supports Bluetooth, allowing users to pair their smartphones to access calls and music. The LCD panel onboard 450S also has turn-by-turn navigation.Ather Rizta KeyAther Rizta – Comfy rides for entire familyOne can easily notice the large size of Rizta electric scooter. The rider and pillion space available seems larger than that of existing 110cc and 125cc ICE scooters. The seat is both longer and wider. Ather has been highlighting the large size of Rizta electric scooter in its social media posts.In one of the videos posted, Ather had compared Rizta’s seat with that of Honda Activa. Visually, Rizta’s seat seems around 1/3rd larger than Activa’s seat. Looks adequate to support even heavyset adults. Ather Rizta has a large floorboard area that will be useful for carrying groceries and other items. The scooter is also expected to get a frunk and large under seat storage.Ather Rizta featuresWith its larger dimensions, it is likely that Ather Rizta will be a bit heavier than the 450 range. It may need a larger battery pack and a new electric motor. The tech kit is expected to be borrowed from the existing 450 range. Even the base model 450S has a comprehensive range of advanced features such as park assist, auto hold, auto indicator cut off and guide me home light. Safety features include emergency stop signal and FailSafe. App-based features include tow and theft alert, find my scooter, real-time charge status, push navigation, find Ather Grid charging point and ride insights.Ather is likely to introduce Rizta later this year in June at the ‘Ather Community Day 2024’ event. Rizta will compete with the likes of Ola S1 Air and TVS iQube. It could be priced in the range of Rs 1.25 lakh to Rs 1.35 lakh. More
