New Forza 350 through the streets of Thailand

In Europe, the maxi-scooter market is a key segment that requires manufacturers to be constantly updated to maintain sales levels. Two years ago, Honda redesigned the Forza 300 to give it the sporty look of the Forza 125 and add some new technologies.
But as the end of the sale of Euro4 models approaches, a new update will be necessary for next year, which could lead to a radical change and, why not, an increase in cylinder capacity. Given that Honda's Thai subsidiary announced in mid-July the arrival of a new Forza 350 for the 2021 range from the Japanese manufacturer, it is not difficult to imagine this new scenario.



This new model, leaves the single cylinder of 279cc and exchanges it for a new ESP block of 329.6cc, which means that in that market the new Forza 350 takes the place of the current 300.
In the rest, the new Forza 350 does not break with tradition and the already known line. 


USB multi-use port

The characteristics that determined the success of the Forza 300 remain unchanged: the electric windshield, led lights, the two-channel ABS, the HSTC traction control and the USB socket. The dimensions of the cycling part are identical, the only difference being the front window that moves 150 mm instead of the previous 140 mm.
The Japanese manufacturer's scooter has a long history and an honorable commercial career. Born in 2004 with its 250 cm3, Forza became 300 in 2013 and was renovated in 2018.
