- Royal Enfield Classic 350 prices increased by up to Rs 8,362

- Highest increment received amongst other RE models

- Prices cross the Rs 2 lakh mark for the first time

Royal Enfield has recently increased the prices of its motorcycles in India and the Classic 350 is also a part of this revision. Surprisingly, the most popular Royal Enfield has received the largest hike of up to Rs 8,362. This is an increment substantially higher than other products like the Bullet 350 and the Himalayan. It’s also worth noting that the prices of the Classic 350 have crossed the Rs 2 lakh mark for the first time. 

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is available in a host of variants, varying in terms of colour scheme and ABS setup. The latest variant-wise prices of the bike with their corresponding increments are mentioned in the below table.

After the latest price hike, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 looks like a more desirable product than the Classic 350 in various aspects. The former boasts better weight distribution and handling dynamics. It is also more comfortable with an engine that’s considerably smoother and vibe-free than the Classic. However, it’s worth noting that RE is working on the next-generation Classic 350. It should be better than the existing model as it will be based on the same ‘J’ platform as the Meteor 350.

Considering the improvements, the 2021 Classic 350 will also receive a substantial price hike over the ongoing model that already looks like a pricey proposition. Will it have a negative impact on its popularity in India? Well, only time will tell.
