New Rajdoot 350: After a long wait of nearly 35 years, the Rajdoot has made a strong comeback in the Indian market. The rich legacy of Escorts and Yamaha has now been presented in a new, magical avatar. The new Rajdoot 350 offers powerful Bullet-like power, impressive Platina-like mileage, and a price that’s completely affordable for a scooter.
Rajoot’s History and Return
The Rajdoot was first launched in India by Escorts in collaboration with the Japanese giant Yamaha. From the 1960s to the 1990s, the bike reigned supreme in the hearts of Indians. However, due to strong demand for mileage and the advent of racer bikes, the company completely retired from the business by 2005. Now, in 2026, the bike returns with a successful four-stroke engine that is fully compliant with BS6 Phase 2 standards. While its design evokes a magical retro feel, its robust performance is perfectly suited to today’s high-tech era, allowing it to successfully compete in multiple segments.
Powerful Engine and Mileage
The new Rajdoot 350’s most valuable feature is its impressive mileage, as powerful 350cc bikes typically offer very low mileage. The Rajdoot 350 has surprised everyone with a remarkable 72 kmpl. Its powerful 349cc engine produces 21 hp at 6,250 rpm and 28 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. While the Bullet weighs around 190 kg, the Rajdoot weighs just 140 kg. This lightweight vehicle provides it with remarkable acceleration and excellent fuel economy, delivering a mileage of 42 kmpl in the city and 45 kmpl to 72 kmpl on the highway.
Design and Suspension
The Rajdoot 350 has a completely retro-modern look, with its fuel tank still reminiscent of the old days. The round headlamp now features a rich chrome finish and sturdy metal, giving it a premium feel. For a comfortable ride, it features a car-like suspension system with powerful telescopic forks at the front and robust double shock absorbers at the rear, which perfectly absorb the impact of rough terrain. For safety, powerful disc brakes are provided on both wheels, ensuring excellent control even at high speeds and making emergency braking incredibly safe.
Realized Price of Rajdoot 350
In terms of pricing, Rajdoot has adopted a robust and elegant strategy, making it significantly more affordable than the Royal Enfield Classic 350. Its affordable on-road price, including insurance and taxes, is around ₹2.25 lakh, while its ex-showroom price puts it slightly stronger than the Jawa 42. Some media reports even claim that some of its base variants could start at a mere ₹1.70 lakh, making it a reality for the common man. In terms of mileage, it surpasses both the Bullet and the Jawa, significantly reducing its running costs.
