New Platform, Engine
One of the biggest update will be made to its underpin. The new Classic 350 will sit on the J-platform that has already been used in the RE Meteor 350. In fact, the engine setup will also be borrowed from the Meteor. The new-generation Classic 350 will use the 349cc, fuel injected motor paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The unit has been tuned for producing power worth 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque.
Improved Design
The original retro-classic design will be retained. The 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will continue to carry the circular headlamp, while the handlebar grips and switchgear and turn indicators will be new units. The grab rails will be repositioned and circular LED taillamps will be sleeker than before. Similar to the RE Meteor 350, the new Classic 350 will feature a new digital-analogue instrument console and RE Tripper Navigation System. The Tripper navigation system, which has been developed jointly by RE and Google, works by pairing smartphone via Bluetooth along with the RE application.
