Royal Enfield recently unveiled the 2024 Classic 350 with graphical updates and new equipment.

The 2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is retailed in a total of seven paint options: Emerald, Jodhpur Blue, Commando Sand, Madras Red, Medallion Bronze, Sand Grey and Stealth Black. As is typical with a model year update, there are no mechanical changes. Some variants will feature alloy wheels and tubeless tyres to cater to a broader audience.
The retro roadster is equipped with a 300 mm disc brake at the front and a 270 mm disc brake at the rear, supported by a dual-channel ABS system as standard. The suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. This new Classic 350 also represents the first update to a motorcycle built on the J-series engine platform.

Launched three years ago, the latest Classic 350 rose to the top of its segment sales charts with ease, taking advantage of the popularity of its predecessor. Building on this success, Royal Enfield is set to announce the prices of the updated model tomorrow in India. It derives power from the familiar 349 cc single-cylinder SOHC air- and oil-cooled engine, producing over 20 hp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
The powertrain is paired with a five-speed transmission. The outgoing Classic 350 was priced at Rs. 1.93 lakh for the base variant and it went all the way up to Rs. 2.24 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-end trim. As we have suspected, a price hike of Rs. 6,000 across the range has been made.

Needless to say, that it has remained true to character and essence through all these years, and it has also remained accessible and approachable, and a canvas for customisation. We have ensured that it continues to be all of this, as we launch the Classic with new feature upgrades while maintaining accessibility.”

The customer booking and test rides across the country will begin tomorrow. The latest update will also make its way to international markets.
