On two wheels, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is not just a motorcycle but a legend. The Classic 350, loved by Indian riders for over a decade for its old-world charm and signature thump. Celebrating its latest version here, Royal Enfield has kept the retro looks but updated it with new hardware.
Iconic Design That Stands Out
The Classic 350 is one of the most beautiful old school styled bikes. Its teardrop-shaped fuel tank with chrome trims, vintage round headlamp and the iconic ‘Classic’ badging across are all cues that this motorcycle carries centuries of legacy. The Classic 350 was previously found in many avatars with a new paint scheme and glossy finish – Halcyon Black, Signals, and Chrome.
Refined Engine Performance
The BS6 Royal Enfield Classic 350 draws power from a 349cc single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine that delivers 20.2 bhp at 6100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm The engine is fuel injected and is on the J-series platform (J351?) as seen on the Meteor 350.
Power delivery from the engine is more linear now with lesser vibrations and better overall ride quality than before. The 5-speed gearbox is light and seamless, so it manages the city rides as well as long highway cruises conveniently.
Modern Features, Classic Feel
However, the Classic 350 retains its old-school charm but gets all modern features this time:
- Dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety
- Audio & Communication General Dim Analog Speedometer Digital-analog instrument cluster Fuel gauge ·
- USB charging port (available on some models)
- Better for long distance riding due to better ergonomics
It gets a twin dowtube spine frame for better handling, and the suspension (telescopic forks upfront and twin gas shocks at the rear) is suitably tuned for Indian conditions.
Why Buy the Classic 350?
- Timeless, premium design
- Improved engine refinement
- Brilliant for city and touring
- Excellent resale value
- Complies to a strong Royal Enfield community and service network
Final Thoughts
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 combines the yesteryear aura with contemporary reliability and performance. So whether you are a new rider looking for a motorcycle to make a statement or you are an old school to seek comfort and nostalgia, the Classic 350 is still one of the best choices in the 350cc segment.
