2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 – What to expect?

Royal Enfield is all set to launch the 2024 Classic 350 in India on 12 August. This is a part of the model year update, and we expect the changes to be incremental and limited to a few feature additions and some cosmetic tweaks. Here is everything you should know about the new Classic 350.

Design

The 2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will retain its modern-classic styling. The design has an old-school vibe to it, complete with a teardrop fuel tank, round headlamp, and long, curved fenders. That said, we can also expect new colour schemes to set it apart from the existing model.

Features

The updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 will feature LED lighting for its headlight, pilot lamps, indicators and tail light. It will also get adjustable brake and clutch levers from the Super Meteor 650. However, these features will be available in higher-spec variants.

Specifications

We don’t expect Royal Enfield to make any mechanical changes to the 349cc, air/oil-cooled motor either. The J-series engine will continue to make 20.2bhp and 27Nm of peak torque and will be linked to a five-speed gearbox. That said, Royal Enfield is working on a new ‘Project J2’, which will get a bunch of upgrades on the next-generation Royal Enfield 350 models.

Cycle parts

Even the cycle parts will continue unchanged on the 2024 Classic 350. It will be suspended by telescopic front forks and dual springs at the rear. The braking setup and wheels will also remain unchanged. Similar to the current model, Royal Enfield will continue to offer alloy wheels in certain variants.

Price

With the addition of new features, we expect a marginal price bump on the new model. Currently, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 costs between Rs. 1.95 lakh and Rs. 2.30 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
