Chennai-based motorcycle maker Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 350 and Meteor 350 motorcycles in Malaysia.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Classic 350 make it to Malaysia in the same spec as the Indian version. Power on both motorcycles comes from the 349 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that develops 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. Other cycle parts also remain the same including telescopic front forks, dual shock absorbers at the rear and disc brakes at either end. There are no styling changes either, while the bikes get the Tripper navigation pod as standard.

Meanwhile, the tripper pod has been limited to as an optional accessory on Royal Enfield motorcycles in India due to the semiconductor chip shortage. The feature will be added later as a standard fitment once the supply chain situation improves. Apart from the Classic 350 and Meteor 350, Royal Enfield also retails the Himalayan, Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor 650 in Malaysia.

The launches also mark Royal Enfield's re-entry into the Malaysian market. The brand was previously available with limited exposure through a private importer but is now looking to sell motorcycles more aggressively as part of its global expansion strategy. The Malaysian flagship store is also the company's 146th showroom in South East Asia.
