New-Generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 India Launch: Price Expectation

The new-generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be launched on September 1, 2021. It will be the second all-new model to be launched by the company after the Meteor 350, based the J-platform, which means it gets the same double-cradle chassis as the Meteor 350. The Classic 350 is one of the highest-selling models of the Royal Enfield, accounting for nearly 80 per cent sales. The new-gen Classic 350 is expected to get the same 349 cc single-cylinder DOHC engine as the Meteor 350, making 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm at 4,000 rpm.

From what we've seen in spy shots of test mules of the next generation Classic 350, it's expected to get a semi-digital instrument console, with a large analogue dial for the speedometer, and a small digital screen with other read-outs, including fuel gauge, odometer, etc. Spy shots showed the new generation Classic 350 sporting Royal Enfield's Tripper navigation pod, so the new bike will likely come with Bluetooth connectivity. But lower-spec variants of the new Classic 350 may not get the Tripper navigation feature.

Some variants of the next generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 are also expected to come with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, just like the Meteor 350. Also expected are a lot of customisation option through the Make it Yours online custom initiative of Royal Enfield, where customers can choose the colours, seat options and accessorise the new Classic 350 according to their own personal taste and choice.

We expect the prices of the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 in the region of Rs. 1.90 lakh to Rs. 2 lakh (Ex-showroom). The Classic 350 will go up against the likes of the Jawa Classic and the Honda H'Ness CB350.
