Royal Enfield has been tight-lipped on the launch of its highly-anticipated 2021 Classic 350. However, a new video has surfaced online, likely from a dealer yard, hinting that the country’s beloved retro roadster is likely to debut by the end of this month or early July.
The bike maker has been extensively testing the new model for the past one year, so most of its details were already known. This video only confirms the changes to the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350.
We already know that the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is based on the J-platform, first seen on the Meteor 350. Hence, both the bikes will share a lot of components, including the new 349cc single-cylinder engine producing 20.4PS and 27Nm.
Even the handlebar appears taller than the current model’s (likely to be the same as Meteor’s), which could give a more comfortable riding position. Another big change comes in the form of foldable rider footpegs, also seen on the Meteor 350. Even the seat seems slightly different from the current Classic 350, which is almost flat.

The red seat seen in the spy shots is likely to be only for select paint jobs. Other changes on the bike include updated elements like headlight and tail light, and an updated instrument console with tripper navigation pod.
Royal Enfield will continue to have an array of paint options for the new bike. We expect the 2021 Classic 350 to demand Rs 7,000 to 10,000 over the outgoing model, which is priced from Rs 1.67 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. The new Classic 350 will go up against the likes of the Benelli Imperiale 400 and the Jawa.

- The royal feel and real emotion.First of all it was dream bike, so of course once in a dream and there is no going back and also, everyone choose the brand like royal enfield, only the real men can choose royal enfield and ride it like a king. Best bike ever. Good milege even in city roads and great balancing features to ride this beast smoothly. However, someone is willing to ride in city then also it is very good bike for them, It's a quite great bike, really smooth. Because, this bike is an emotion who loves the bike should only buy this bike else, I won't recommend more. People think that to buy bike is easy yes, it is easy but to keep maintain such bikes should need some passion or josh to keep the bike run smoothly so that brand never goes off in style.Read More3
- 👍 good reviews from my sideGood but I think Royal Enfield should work on speed and mileage and they have to work on silencer because it is mainly known for its sound. If sound is getting silent in bs6, the bullet is generally getting downgraded ratings from all customers. Royal Enfield should work on this side and overall the experience is good.Read More8 8
