It will be powered by a refined 349cc single-cylinder engine that provides smooth riding and improved throttle response. The engine is tuned to meet BS6 Phase II emission standards.

Comfort and Ride Quality
The seating position is quite comfortable for both the rider and the pillion. The suspension setup makes the bike more stable, even on rough roads. Despite having a 350cc engine, the bike significantly reduces vibrations.
Features: A Touch of Modernity
Royal Enfield has equipped the Classic 350 with several modern features this time around. The semi-digital instrument cluster now features a TFT display, showing Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation (with Tripper Pod support), call and SMS alerts, and fuel information.
A USB-C charging port keeps your phone charged on long rides. Dual-channel ABS enhances safety, while the new suspension setup – front telescopic forks and rear twin shocks – provides a plush ride even on rough roads. The switchgear quality has been improved, and features like the side stand cut-off further enhance safety. The top variants come with the Smart Connect app, which offers ride tracking and service reminders.

The Classic 350 has always been a comfortable ride, and the 2026 model has further refined this. It boasts good ground clearance, easy handling, and confident braking. It navigates city traffic with ease, while offering excellent stability on the highway. This bike is built for long tours – whether it’s Leh-Ladakh or the coastal roads of Goa, it performs admirably everywhere. The pillion seat is also comfortable, making it great for family rides. The overall weight is well-balanced, making it easy for even new riders to handle.
Price and Launch Update
According to reports, the new Royal Enfield 350 is expected to launch in India soon. Its price is expected to be between ₹1.80 lakh and ₹2.10 lakh (ex-showroom). It will directly compete with the Honda CB350 and Jawa 350.
