Everyoneās been raving about the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350, and for good reason. Royal Enfield has put in a lot of work to ensure the new Classic not only retains its retro DNA but also performs as a modern machine should. Weāve already ridden the bike so if youāre looking for an in-depth review, you can click on this link. As for this article, well, weāll mostly focus on how the bike performs.
Acceleration
Right off the bat, youāll notice the 2021 Classic 350 is quicker off the line. Heck, itās a whole 6.55 seconds faster to get to 100kmph!. Not only this, but unlike the older Classic, the new model keeps pulling till about 120kmph and can sit there quite comfortably all day long. This is possible thanks to the new J-series engine that powers the bike. While it makes pretty much the same power and torque as before itās a lot more refined and delivers its power in a linear fashion.
Roll-ons
There is a noticeable difference in roll-on accelerations as well. The 2021 Classic feels livelier and has more than enough bottom and mid-range torque for quick overtakes.

Braking
The new ByBre calipers make a huge difference in terms of braking performance. There is good bite, feel and progression through the levers, and besides, the numbers speak for themselves.
Fuel-efficiency
The new J-series engine is just as fuel-efficient as before at higher speeds and while carrying a heavier test rider. Thatās a huge improvement in our opinion. Not to mention it can cruise at triple-digit speeds with ease and feels rock solid. The tractable motor makes ambling around in city traffic at low speeds and absolute breeze.

- 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
- š 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
