The bike was spotted testing multiple times in the recent times, what can be speculated from the spy shots is its most likely to get the same J-platform engine which we have seen in its sibling i.e. Meteor 350, this SOHC engine is capable of producing 20hp and 28Nm of torque, the engine is very refined when we compare it with older generation Royal Enfield engines, the new generation engine tries its best to give a tough fight to its Japanese rivals. It’s also expected to get the same navigation display which was seen on Meteor 350 and Himalayan. Let's come to the design and classiness of 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350: The design of the Classic 350 is kept classic as it’s known for but now it looks more subtle and refreshing, Classic 350 has a huge fan following but we must accept the fact it was a bit of eyesore to look at the same design for such a long time, a makeover was due for it and here it is. It takes design cues from the current model and gets some of its parts from Meteor 350. The bike will be available in alloy wheels as well as the spoke version. Let's wait for the launch to get more information on pricing and features.
Classic 350 will be priced competitively looking at the competition from Japanese and homegrown manufacturers. It can be expected to be priced between 1.85 - 2 lakh (ex-showroom) for its various versions. So, all the Royal Enfield Fanboys out there hold your breath till the launch this week.
