Royal Enfield is gearing up for the launch of the much-awaited new gen RE Classic 350, which has been spotted multiple times on the Indian roads. The new gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 has recently been caught during its official TV commercial shoot in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
The company hasn’t reveal the exact launch timeline of the Classic. The recent sightings during TVC shoot confirms that the motorcycle is ready for launch. We expect that the new gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 will launch in August 2021.
The new gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 retains the design of the existing model; however, it gets some modern features. The motorcycle has retro-styled circular headlamps with chrome bezels, chrome plated exhaust, round-shaped rearview mirrors, a teardrop shaped fuel tank and prominent front and rear fenders. It gets a more compact rear profile, featuring revised tail-lamp and indicators.
The TVC shows three different variants of the new Classic 350, which includes a single-seater bike, a twin-seater Classic 350 and the 350 Signals Edition. The Signals edition will get alloy wheels, while the regular models will have spoked wheels. The new gen RE Classic 350 is based on the brand’s new architecture, which underpins the Meteor 350. Called the “J” modular architecture, the new platform will be used to develop new breed of RE 350cc motorcycles. The twin downtube spine frame is claimed to have improved the overall ride quality and characteristics of the Meteor 350, which replaces the popular Thunderbird nameplate.
The new RE Classic 350 will be offered with a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel with spoked rims. The top-end variant could get tubeless alloy wheels. The bike gets revised instrument cluster with a separate digital readout with fuel gauge. The new-gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be powered by a 349cc, fuel injected engine that is capable of producing a maximum power output of 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and a peak torque of 27Nm at 4,000rpm. It will be paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
