Concurrently, Team Red introduced the RoadSync app, allowing riders to use voice controls on compatible Honda bikes. This app also included a dedicated switch cube on the left handlebar for convenient smartphone operation. Supported models encompassed Forza 350 and 250, Forza 750, CB1000R, CB750 Hornet, CB300F, H’Ness CB350, X-ADV, XL750 Transalp, and CB350RS.
Understanding the significance of suspension for daily scooter riders, Thai Honda collaborated with the Netherlands-based Hyperpro Suspension Technology. Resulting from this partnership was the Forza 350 Dark Gravity Special Edition, unveiled in August 2023. It showcased distinctive purple rear shocks provided by Hyperpro Suspension Technology, enhancing the scooter’s suspension for a more comfortable ride.

Notably, the special edition’s unique black and purple colour scheme also caught attention. The stylish colour scheme, paired with the upgraded suspension, contributed to the scooter’s premium appeal.
The Forza 350 base model came with several standard features: the Honda Selectable Torque Control system, ABS on both ends, LED lighting, USB charging, ample under-seat storage, and the Honda Smart Key system. Pricing for the Forza 350 Dark Gravity Special Edition commenced at ฿ 231,900 (equivalent to approximately $6,618 USD) as of August 29, 2023. This pricing was warranted due to the substantial upgrades, particularly the notable Hyperpro suspension enhancement.
