Check out Royal Enfield Classic 350 detailed review, price list, mileage, specifications, colors available, competitors and other details.
Overview
It will not be exaggeration to say that the word ‘thumper’ got instantly popular among the masses due to advent of Royal Enfield Classic 350. The bike is a modern version of the old and iconic Bullet and also one of the most popular bikes in the Royal Enfield portfolio. Based on the philosophy of a street cruiser, it carries a vintage appeal and pure retro charm. The round headlamps and long fenders remind us of the motorcycles of the late 20th century. Its rear part looks aggressive with long shining muffler and bullet style side indicators.
The vintage motorcycle is powered by 346cc air-cooled engine that can produce peak power of 20.07PS and peak torque of 28Nm with transmission duties handled by 5-speed manual gearbox. The bike tops the speed of 130kmph. Despite of such a powerful engine, Classic 350 sips less fuel and is able to deliver 37kmpl. Royal Classic 350 competes against Bajaj Dominar 400, Mahindra Mojo 300 and its own sibling Royal Enfield Bullet 350.
