Royal Enfield Classic 350 (BS6 Model)

About
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 is a modern iteration of a classic design that has been a staple in Indian motorcycling for decades. Powered by a new 349cc air-cooled J-series engine, it produces 20.2 BHP and 27 Nm of torque, making it suitable for both city traffic and highway cruising. The bike features a 5-speed gearbox and lacks a slipper clutch, but the gearing is well-suited for urban and highway riding. The suspension setup is well-balanced, providing a comfortable ride over various road conditions, and the 170 mm ground clearance is ideal for Indian roads. The Classic 350 BS6 also boasts improved fit and finish, with premium switchgear and a stylish design that includes a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and a signature exhaust note. While it may not be perfect, with issues like sticking throttle and less-than-ideal braking, it remains a compelling choice for those who appreciate its unique blend of heritage and modernity.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 is a significant improvement over its predecessors, offering a blend of nostalgia and modern refinement. The new J-series engine is smoother and more refined, reducing the notorious vibrations that were a hallmark of earlier models. The bikes comfort is exemplary, with well-balanced suspension and plush seats that make both city rides and long tours enjoyable. However, there are some drawbacks, such as the lack of a fuel gauge, occasional sticking throttle issues, and braking performance that could be sharper. Despite these, the Classic 350 remains a joy to ride, with its signature thumpy exhaust note and stable handling. For those who value the classic design and the riding experience it offers, this bike is a solid choice, but it may not be the best fit for those seeking cutting-edge technology or precise braking.
Price
In India, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 is priced competitively, with the ex-showroom price starting at around Rs. 2.15 lakh in Delhi. On-road prices, including taxes and other charges, can range from Rs. 2.7 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. The Chrome variant, which comes with additional aesthetic features like hand-painted tank embellishments, is priced slightly higher. While the price may seem steep for some, the quality of finish, the comfort, and the overall riding experience justify the cost. For those who are willing to invest in a bike that combines heritage with modern improvements, the Classic 350 BS6 offers good value for money.
Latest Updates
Monday, 12 August 2024 07:40 AM The 2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 has been updated with several new features, including an all-LED lighting system, LED pilot lamps, and a USB Type-C charging port. The top variants, Dark and Chrome, will also come with LED indicators, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and the Tripper navigation system as standard. This update aims to enhance the bikes appeal ahead of the festive season. I believe these updates will make the Classic 350 more attractive to buyers looking for modern amenities without compromising on its classic look.
Sunday, 11 August 2024 09:31 AM Royal Enfield has announced that the 2024 Classic 350 will be available in five variants: Heritage, Heritage Premium, Signals, Dark, and Classic Chrome. The Dark variant will come with alloy wheels and tubeless tires as standard, while these will be optional for other variants. All models will feature a gear position indicator on the display and a USB-C charger. I think this variety in variants will help cater to a broader range of customers.
Saturday, 03 August 2024 06:11 AM The updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 retains its mechanical specifications, including the 349 cc J-Series single-cylinder engine producing 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Despite no mechanical changes, the bike now features contemporary updates such as LED lighting and a USB Type-C charging port. I believe these updates will keep the Classic 350 competitive in the market.
Thursday, 01 August 2024 09:05 AM Royal Enfield is set to launch the updated Classic 350 on August 12, 2024, with pricing expected to be announced on September 1. The bike will come in seven new color options and will include features like a gear position indicator and LED lighting across all variants. I think the new colors and features will help boost sales during the festive season.
Saturday, 20 July 2024 08:40 PM The 2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will continue to use the same J-Series engine and hardware components as its predecessor but will see aesthetic changes, including LED headlamps, pilot lamps, and a USB-C charging port. This move is expected to address issues faced by owners who previously modified their bikes, potentially voiding their warranties. I believe this is a smart move by Royal Enfield to enhance user experience.

Value for Money with Dual ABS and New Look

Himanshu Gajjar | 5 years ago

I bought my All-New Royal Enfield Classic 350 GunMetal Grey with Dual ABS last month. I have been driven almost 1750 km with mileage of 43 Km/ltr till the date and I love the ride like BULLET. Till the date I didn't face any issue in riding or in performance in this bike. Many people complain about the disk break issue or about the performance issue, I can say I didn't face any such issue till the date. The performance of any bike depends on the maintenance of it and I am really thankful to SARABHAI MOTORS Ahmedabad for such all anytime support and services. I simply recommendation this bike for Cruiser Riders like Bullet lovers GO for It.

Best Features: Dual ABS and Cruse Ride

Pros: Performance wise no issue

Cons: In India too tough to maintain Matte Finish colour
