The much-awaited new-generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 is all set to hit roads on 1st September 2021. Ahead of its official arrival, we have got our hands on its engine, features and colour details. According to leaked information, the new 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be designed on a new twin downtube spine frame that also underpins the RE Meteor 350.
One of the major updates will come in a form of a new and more refined 349cc, single-cylinder engine sourced from the Meteor 350. The motor has been tuned for producing a peak power of 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque. The bike will use a 5-speed gearbox for performing transmission duties.
With the generation change, the Classic 350 will receive bigger 300mm front and 270mm rear disc brakes along with the single/dual-channel ABS (anti-lock braking system) options. The bike’s front tyre will be wider than before. It will have spoked 19-inch front and 18-inch rear alloy wheels with 100/90 and 120/80 section tyres respectively. The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 suspension setup will consist of the same 41mm telescopic front forks and twin gas charged at the rear.
