The new-generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 is ready to hit Indian roads in coming weeks. Ahead of its official arrival, the spy videos and pictures keep pouring in on the internet. A latest spy video shows the bike’s new instrument cluster featuring a display and an analogue speedometer. You can also notice the trip meters, a fuel gauge, odometer and time display. The video also confirms that the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will come with Tripper navigation system that debuted on the RE Meteor 350. It works in combination with Royal Enfield app and Google Maps.
Besides these feature upgrades, the new Classic 350 will witness multiple minor design changes. While the retro-styled circular headlamp remains intact, the bike gets updated handlebar grips and switchgear. The grab rails have been placed slightly higher than before. Design elements such as newly-designed turn indicators and sleeker circular LED taillamp add more to its new looks. The ergonomics and seating comfort will also be better than before.

Major changes will be made to its underpinning and engine. The 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be built on the brand’s new J1D architecture that’s also used in the Meteor 350. The bike will derive its power from a new 349cc, oil-cooled OHC engine paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The fuel-injected motor has been tuned for producing a peak power of 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque.
