  • After being on sale for over 10 years, Royal Enfield has released a brand new version of their best selling bike, the Classic 350. While visually, this new Classic looks very similar to the outgoing model, it is built on RE’s J-platform that first debuted on the Meteor 350. This basically brings with it a brand new engine, a brand new frame along with new suspension as well. So it’s a very different bike underneath - one in which RE has addressed a lot of issues that plagued the earlier motorcycle.
    On paper, there’s not much difference in spec though. The engine is still a 350cc single-cylinder air cooled mill, but this one uses cam-driven overhead valves as opposed to the pushrod setup from the earlier motor. Power and torque figures remain similar, but this motor has become significantly smoother at pretty much any speed. And the performance has improved drastically too. Even suspension sophistication has seen a bump up and the new bike is a lot more comfortable than ever before.
    Here are the prices (ex-showroom Chennai) for the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350
    Redditch series (single-channel ABS) - Rs 1,84,374
    Halcyon Series: Rs 1,93,123
    Signals Series: Rs 2,04,367
    Dark Series: Rs 2,11,465
    Chrome Series: Rs 2,15,118

    After living with my girlfriend's Himalayan for the last 6 months and several thousand miles, I have really come to love and admire RE. The brand has millions of devoted followers and over 100 years of history, and I love to see these new improvements and innovations implemented. I am a Triumph Rat and die hard Guzzisti, but the heart and soul of Enfield isn't lost on me.

    I CAN'T WAIT for the Classic 350 to arrive in the US! I own a Meteor 350, and I love it. I've also always loved the looks of the Classic, but I never got one. After owning a 1982 Honda FT500 Ascot, another big single, I was reluctant to own a single cyclinder motorcycle again, due to their vibration. The Meteor's sweet engine keeps all the good of a single cyclinder bike, while doing away with the bad. It sounds like the new Classic does the same, so I'm eagerly awaiiting its arrival here. Soon as it arrives, I'll be getting one in Chrome Red... :)
    As an addendum here, there's one thing a Meteor or new Classic 350 owner can do to improve the thump: change the filter and airbox cover. I swapped the stock filter and airbox snorkel out for DNA Filters' kit that includes both a high flow filter and a wider airbox cover. Not only has it improved the performance of my Meteor 350; it's given it a nice, deep, and THROATY THUMP! It has a better thump than the old Classic in this video.

      Honda knew that RE classic 350 was getting old so they attempted to grab the succession by cloning RE almost ditto. Imagine Honda making a Bullet clone
      Now since the 650s have become so popular, watch all the manufacturers try their best to clone that too

    7:13 You should've compared the exhaust note with the BS 3 or earlier versions. This might be the BS 4 or 6 model, also used in the Thunderbird X, if I'm not wrong, as the BS 3 and earlier versions had the "classic thump" sound that all of us are familiar with and love so much. That, in the newer iterations have been destroyed due to the catalytic converter and the sound seems anything but not as a typical RE. Anyway, great review from Zigwheels as always

    I have a 2020 Bullet KS. I bought it for the old school vibe..literally delivers that in spades, right from start up.. It's quite comfortable till about 80 kmph, don't think my nuts can handle higher frequencies. The beef I have with it and RE is the shabby quality, everything is so cheap, it has one meter, it leaks, the tank cap seems made out of tinfoil, the chrome is shabby, lousy tyres, chain, sprocket, plastics, paint... name it, they've cheaped it out.....The new classic seems like the usual shabby rehash for near 2 lakh. These RE folk may need to take a hard look at a Honda and what they deliver for the same price...Great review. Thanks.

    At the risk of being trolled, I'd like to voice a pro-old school opinion here. The chai cup challenge to show the refinement of the engine is an incredible idea, and kudos to whoever came up with it. But what RE may be getting wrong here is the fact that the "rattling" engine was one of the most endearing features of the bike. It made the rider feel connected to the bike.
    Sure you have to move ahead with the times, but that could just mean fixing the quality issues (which they may have done) without tampering with the feel or making the bike feel soulless.
    I do not know what game RE wants to win, but I hope they are still in touch with the real consumer of the bike, and understand that that "unrefined" engine is what sold over 50k bikes every month.
    Things like oil leakage, etc did need to be fixed, and I'm glad if they have been, but not at the cost of taking away the feel of the engine. We've already lost the thump, and now this too?
    CLASSIC case of "new" not always meaning "improved" imho.

    For taller riders, get the one piece classic seat (driver and pillion).. you sit farther back (more leg room), and have better support from the slight rise. Also, a higher rise handlebar is a must, to not hit your knees. Higher also feels more natural for the overall body position.

      @@PriyadarshanBawikar We are in complete agreement! I haven't been able to find a price for the Classic range in the UK yet. In fact, I can't even find a definitive statement that the bike will come to the UK, or when. I was intrigued by RE's low-key launch of the Meteor in the UK (unlike the Himi and Interceptor). I saw no early adverts in the glossy magazines or official press releases (just reports by individual editors, based on what they'd gleaned from CZcams videos from India!). Strange. Let's hope RE do better with the new Classic range.

      They are not providing tripper navigation due to chip shortage(covid)... Initially they told only red chrome that you see in this video gets tripper while all other colors will have tripper as optional but they are not offering tripper even for this model.. It can be installed later at any time as optional so they're selling it without tripper.. I think you should wait for it in global market because it's easy here since RE showroom is in every city and even in rural villages.. I wouldn't recommend buying it in UK or USA because I've seen riders complain about service and showroom..Even RE won't sell it globally when they have chip shortage in local market.. So better wait for it.. Also RE hunter 350, scram401(naked version of himalayan), 650twin cruiser and classic are spotted testing here in india for more than a year now and are ready to be launched..

    I have to choose between the new Classic 350 and the Interceptor. Having test ridden the Interceptor when it was launched, I have been lusting after it, slowly convincing my wife to let me get a bike.
    Now that she’s convinced, we went for a test ride and she’s insisting that she’s more comfortable riding pillion on the Classic and she likes the looks (Chrome Red) more.
    Surprisingly, I liked the new Classic ride much better than the old ones in terms of vibration. I also liked riding position comfort ( over the Interceptor) but I know the engine is phenomenally better on the Interceptor. We are both tall and have lower back issues so comfort is definitely a priority.
    My riding is mostly going to be city riding with occasional weekend rides outside the city ( Mumbai )
    I would really appreciate your input on this matter. It would help me make up my mind.
    Thanks

    PB, a well put together review as always and I especially like the way the team gets the perfect background score to go with the visuals.
    Too modern and loyalists will cry foul and too crude and aam janta will complain, I think RE has done a good job balancing out everything. I like the brown chrome series though i would personally opt for the army green signal series. Not sure why RE ditched the dual horn for a single one, does it sound ok esp on the highway? The main issue I have with RE is the reliability of components. Being an owner myself I have had terrible luck with some parts of the engine, hopefully that is fixed now.
