It's been three years since Royal Enfield introduced the all-new J-platform version of their most important motorcycle, the Classic 350. The company has now revealed an updated version, which brings in a few more features and multiple new colours. Prices will be revealed on September 1, with deliveries commencing on the same day.
The Classic 350 retains its much-loved classic look with the large mudguards, metal tank and flowing retro lines. However, the company has now thrown in a few modern features, including LED lighting (headlight, tail-light, indicator and pilot lights), adjustable levers, a gear-position indicator and a USB-C charging point.
As with the current Classic 350, a few variants are also available with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, which gives a modern touch to its retro looks. Powering the motorcycle is the same air/oil-cooled, 349cc single-cylinder engine that puts out 20.2hp and 27Nm.
The current Classic 350 is offered in 11 colours across five themes: Chrome, Halcyon, Matte, Signals and Redditch. However, the updated version comes in six colour options: Emerald, Jodhpur Blue, Madras Red, Medallion Brown, Commando Sand and Stealth (a black on black finish).
Suspension duty is handled by a telescopic fork and twin gas-charged shock absorbers. Braking duties are expected to be handled by a single disc and a drum on the lower variants, while higher variants come with a rear disc and dual-channel ABS.
Prices are expected to rise slightly over the outgoing model; the current Classic 350's price range is Rs 1.93 lakh-2.2 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai).
