Classic Design & Build
The Classic 350’s design is directly inspired by the legendary Royal Enfield G2 of the 1950s. It continues to carry forward the old-school charm with:
- Teardrop-shaped fuel tank with RE badge
- Round headlamp and chrome accents
- Curved mudguards and vintage-styled side panels
- New LED headlamp, LED tail lamp & DRLs for modern touch
The 2025 model is offered in nine attractive color options including Madras Red, Jodhpur Blue, Medallion Bronze, Commando Sand, Gun Grey, Emerald, Redditch Red, Halcyon Black, and Stealth Black.
The bike measures 2145 mm in length and 785 mm in width and tips the scales at 195 kg. The 805 mm seat height makes it accessible for most riders, while the 170 mm ground clearance ensures it handles Indian roads comfortably.
The premium Chrome Series (Chrome Red, Chrome Bronze) adds a more luxurious touch, though glossy finishes do require extra care to maintain.
Engine & Performance
Under the tank, the Classic 350 uses the J-platform 349cc engine, which is known for refinement and durability.
- Power: 20.2 bhp at 6100 rpm
- Torque: 27 Nm at 4000 rpm
- Transmission: 5-speed gearbox
- Mileage: 35–41 km/l depending on riding style
This engine is tuned for low-end torque, making it easy to ride in the city at 20–40 kmph while also cruising comfortably at 80–90 kmph on highways. Vibrations are minimal due to the balancer shaft, though some buzz can be felt above 100 kmph.
The Classic is not meant for aggressive riders but rather for those who enjoy smooth, relaxed riding with that signature Royal Enfield thump.

Ride & Comfort
One of the Classic 350’s biggest strengths is its comfortable riding posture and suspension setup.
- Front Suspension: 41 mm telescopic forks (130 mm travel)
- Rear Suspension: Twin-tube shock absorbers, 6-step adjustable (90 mm travel)
- Brakes: 300 mm front disc + 270 mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS (base variants get single-channel ABS)
- Wheels: Spoke wheels with tube tires (base) or alloy wheels with tubeless tires (higher variants)
The upright riding posture, wide handlebars, and cushioned seat make it ideal for long-distance touring. The only drawback is that the rider’s footpegs sometimes foul with shins in stop-go traffic.
Features & Technology
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 continues to balance retro design with useful modern features.
- Analogue-digital instrument cluster – shows speed, fuel, gear position, odometer, trip meter
- Tripper Navigation (select variants) – turn-by-turn navigation via Royal Enfield App
- USB charging port – for mobile charging on long trips
- Service reminder indicator
- LED headlights, tail lamps & DRLs
While functional, the cluster feels a bit dated compared to rivals like the Jawa 42 FJ or Honda CB350, which offer more digital features.
Pricing & Variants
The Classic 350 is offered in multiple variants, each with different styling and features:
- Redditch Series – entry-level, single-channel ABS
- Halcyon Series – retro chrome + modern dual ABS
- Signals Series – military-inspired colours
- Dark Series – alloy wheels, blacked-out engine
- Chrome Series – premium finish, dual-tone chrome
Ex-showroom Price Range: ₹1,97,253 – ₹2,34,972
