Royal Enfield just launched the all-new Classic 350 in India at the starting price of INR 1.84 lakh ex-showroom. The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 comes with a much more refined design and contemporary equipment to help compete with the booming modern-classic segment. The brand has also upgraded the chassis and the engine of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 but maintains the hallmark silhouette inspired by the Royal Enfield G2.
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 comes with new features such as a clear lens, multi-faceted reflector halogen headlamp. The fascia retains its classic round shape sticking to the Classic 350 roots. The headlamp also incorporates the RE logo on the bulb cover and features twin marker lamps. The headlamp also gets the classic hood reminiscent of Royal Enfield’s Classic range of motorcycles.
The Classic 350 come with features such as rounded taillamps and twin seats with leatherette upholstery. But the new Classic 350 gets an analogue speedometer with a digital multi-information display. The motorcycle also comes with Royal Enfield’s Tripper Navigation system, depending on the model. The brand also upgraded the motorcycle with new switchgear and a USB charging point.
Powering the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is a 349cc single-cylinder air-/oil-cooled motor borrowed from the Meteor 350. The engine comes with the same 5-speed gearbox, but due to the larger 18-inch rear wheel, the drive on the new engine appears spirited from the Meteor 350. The engine produces the same 20.2 Bhp of power and 27 Nm of torque. The new J series engine is much more refined compared to the push-rod driven engine of the predecessor. Also, Royal Enfield has worked extensively on the exhaust to retain the signature thump of the motorcycle.
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 comes with a new twin downtube spine chassis. The new chassis offers better ergonomics, agility and straight-line stability to the motorcycle. The bike rides on 41mm conventional telescopic front forks with 130 mm of travel on the front. On the rear, the motorcycle gets twin-tube emulsion shock absorbers with 6 step adjustment. The bike gets a 300mm front hydraulic disc and a 153mm mechanical drum brake on the rear. The motorcycle also gets an optional 270mm rear disc. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 comes with 2145mm of length, a wheelbase of 1390mm, 170mm of ground clearance, and a seat height of 805mm. The bike tips the scales at 195 kg (kerb).
