Design & Style

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 maintains its timeless, vintage look but now comes with some modern touches that make it feel fresh and stylish.

  • Teardrop-shaped fuel tank with bold colors and pinstripes

  • Round halogen headlamp with chrome touches

  • New switchgear with classic rotary dials

  • Comfortable wide seat with soft cushioning

  • Elegant mudguards, chrome exhaust, and spoke wheels (available in selected variants)

This motorcycle is a perfect blend of classic styling and new-age fit and finish. It looks premium and feels sturdy, just like a real road warrior should.

Engine & Performance

The heart of the new Classic 350 is the 349cc J-series engine, which is the same one used in the Meteor 350. It’s smoother, quieter, and more refined than the older UCE engine.

  • Power output: 20.2 horsepower

  • Torque: 27 Nm, delivered in a flat, linear manner

  • 5-speed gearbox with smooth shifting

  • Minimal vibrations even at higher speeds

This engine may not be for high-speed racing, but it delivers strong and steady power. It’s ideal for city commuting and long highway rides, especially for those who like relaxed cruising.

Ride & Handling

One of the biggest improvements in this new model is the riding comfort. The bike now rides on a new double cradle frame, which adds to stability and confidence.

  • Front: Telescopic forks (41mm)

  • Rear: Twin shock absorbers with 6-step preload adjustment

  • More comfortable suspension than before

  • Good balance while cornering

  • Front and rear disc brakes (with dual-channel ABS in higher variants)

The Classic 350 feels heavy, but it’s well-balanced. Once you’re moving, the weight doesn’t feel like a problem at all.

Features & Tech

While Royal Enfield has kept the Classic’s design old-school, it hasn’t ignored the tech inside. You get a decent set of features:

  • Semi-digital instrument cluster (analog speedometer + digital fuel and trip info)

  • Turn-by-turn navigation on select variants via Tripper Pod (Bluetooth-enabled)

  • Electric start standard across all variants

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

  • USB charging port available in select models

These features are minimal but useful, especially for daily riding and short touring.

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

The Classic 350 gives a decent mileage for its size and weight:

  • In cities, expect around 35–37 kmpl

  • On highways, it can deliver up to 40 kmpl if ridden smoothly

With a 13-litre fuel tank, you can expect a full tank to last between 400–500 km, making it good for weekend rides and small trips.

Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 350 in multiple variants to suit different tastes and budgets:
