Royal Enfield Classic 350 Update Details

Royal Enfield will be updating its evergreen Classic 350 on August 12, with a focus on enhancing its feature set rather than altering its mechanical components. The Classic 350 is the company’s best-selling model and has faced increasing competition in recent times. With this update, Royal Enfield aims to rejuvenate its flagship motorcycle.

New Features

1. LED Lighting to Be Standard: The new model will feature LED lighting as standard, enhancing visibility and modernizing the bike’s aesthetics.
2. No Mechanical Changes Expected: While the focus is on features, the fundamental mechanical aspects of the Classic 350 will remain unchanged.

The Classic 350 is powered by an air-cooled, 349cc, single-cylinder engine that delivers 20hp and 27Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Weighing in at 195kg with a full 13-liter tank, it retains its sturdy build and performance characteristics. Currently, its pricing ranges from Rs 1.93 lakh to Rs 2.25 lakh (ex-showroom in Chennai). With the updated model launch, it will be interesting to see if Royal Enfield adjusts the prices in response to market competition.
