If you are among those whom the charm of old classic bikes attracts as much today as it did years ago, then the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is nothing short of a dream for you. Its thump, its retro design and its on-street presence — combine to create an experience that does not easily match any bike. Now the company has updated the Classic 350 with new colors and features, making it even more stylish and feature-packed than before.
Price and variants
In India, the Classic 350 is available in a total of seven variants and nine color options. Its price goes from ₹1,81,129 to ₹2,15,763 (ex-showroom). From the most economical Redditch variant to premium Chrome variant, every buyer can choose a perfect model according to their choice and budget. Price difference in Halcyon, Heritage, Signals, Dark and Chrome variants comes due to mainly finish, wheels and features. Users have quite a few choices to match styling and personality.
Design
Royal Enfield has this time updated the Classic 350 with not one, but seven new colors — Emerald, Jodhpur Blue, Commando Sand, Madras Red, Medallion Bronze, Sand Gray and Stealth Black. These new shades give the bike even more premium and modern feel while retaining its retro soul as well. The special thing about the Stealth Black variant is that it has alloy wheels, which give it a little more different and sporty look from the rest of the colors. The rest of the color options include wire-spoke wheels that retain the Pure Classic vibe.
New features
The Classic 350 now comes with LED headlight and LED position lights, making the night riding experience much better. Also given are adjustable brake and clutch levers, which increase comfort and facilitate personalization. Another small but very useful update is gear position indicator. This feature is quite helpful especially for new riders, as they will no longer have to count gears repeatedly.
Engine and Performance
The Classic 350 has remained unchanged in its mechanical setup—it offers refined and linear performance as before. Its 349cc BS6 single-cylinder engine produces 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. The 5-speed gearbox is smooth and convenient for city riding. This Royal Enfield bike is not a high-speed racer, but a laid-back, comfortable cruiser whose charm lies in its calm, steady, and torque-rich ride. The peak torque at 4,000 rpm is a testament to the bike’s effortless handling even at low speeds.
