It’s timeless, it’s effortlessly stylish and it’s brimming with character. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is a representation of many such qualities but what it is, above all else, is the purest expression of the Royal Enfield DNA.
The 2024 Classic 350 goes further. In its newest form, the Classic 350 immortalises the idea of old-world charm and classic design, which has resulted in the Classic 350 now being available in seven beautiful colourways across five new variants - Heritage (Madras Red and Jodhpur Blue), Heritage Premium (Medallion Bronze), Signals (Commando Sand), Dark (Gun Grey and Stealth Black) and Chrome (Emerald). That’s not all there is to the new range, though.
What the Classic 350 has always managed with effortless ease is its ability to provide a charming (to say the least!) riding experience and, in this regard, it’s gotten even better. The 2024 Classic models now feature upgrades in the form of LED headlights, an LED pilot lamp, a gear-position indicator integrated into the instrument cluster and also a type-C USB charging port. The top variants - Emerald and Dark - pack in a bit more and come equipped with a Tripper pod as standard, in addition to adjustable levers and LED turn-signal indicators.
The addition of these features sure promise to elevate the Classic’s characterful ride experience, something its 349cc single-cylinder masterfully delivers courtesy its long-stroke configuration. With its fuel-injected J-series engine producing 27Nm of torque, and thanks to its sublime responsiveness, the Classic 350 has rightfully earned its cult status, something which is only about to further soar, courtesy the 2024 upgrades.
But wait - that’s still not all! With a price tag starting at Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2024 Classic 350 makes a compelling case for itself, creating a hugely aspirational step-up into the world of retro motorcycling. The only tough decision to make, therefore, is: how are you ever going to pick a favourite from the evocative colour palette the 2024 Classic 350 has brought about?
