Honda Forza 350 Engine and Variants
Engine displacement increased from up to 350cc. Thanks to Honda’s increased bore and stroke, the Forza 350 now produces 29.2PS at 7500Rpm and 31.5Nm at 5250rpm, 1.3PS, and 4.3Nm at the Forza 300. To achieve this, larger intake valves and throttle bodies, altered intake and exhaust ports, a lighter crankshaft, and a free-flowing exhaust are used. In addition to being more powerful than the Forza 300, it also uses less fuel. The Forza 350 will be the most technologically advanced scooter in India, thanks to its rider aids, which include dual-channel ABS and traction control. The gears of the Forza 350 include telescopic forks at the back and a twin-shock configuration at the back.
A single 256mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the back handle braking. The bike’s front and rear wheels, measuring 15 inches each, are fitted with 120/70-section and 140/70-section tires, respectively.
Forza 350 Variants:
Initially, the Forza 350 will be available in only one variant, with an estimated cost of Rs 3 lakh.
Honda Forza 350 Design and Colors
The 2023 Forza 350 looks more streamlined than its current variant. Sharp lines, overlapped body panels, and the use of intelligent materials all contribute to the vehicle’s more refined look. For shorter riders, a bike with 780 mm seat height should be ideal. Two full-face helmets fit snugly into the under-seat storage area. Choose from the available three colors: Matte Grey, Pearl Gray, or Matte Blue.
Honda Forza 350 Features
The emergency stop signal (ESS) and all-LED lighting system on the Forza 350 both blink rapidly when you apply heavy braking pressure. The electrically adjustable windshield can now be adjusted up to 180 mm, which is an increase of 40 mm. A USB charging port in the glove box, where you can easily store your phone, has replaced the old charging plug on the front apron. Keyless ignition, a semi-digital instrument panel with two analog dials, an odometer in the center, a trip meter, and an LCD screen showing maintenance warnings are other essential elements.
Honda Forza 350 Rivals
