Yes, Royal Enfield offers official lightweight exhausts for its Classic 350 range but there’s a catch
Royal Enfield has been offering official exhaust systems for its lineup since 2019. However, now, the exhaust range is limited to the Classic 350. There are 16 exhaust systems available in different shapes and finishes and they come in three price points:
All of these exhaust systems are 40 percent lighter than the stock unit. It takes just 15 minutes to install one and also comes with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer itself. The best bit is that these exhaust systems are compliant both in terms of noise and emission norms for the BS3 or BS4 versions of the Royal Enfield Classic 350. However, the disappointing news is that these exhaust systems are not compatible with BS6-compliant versions of the Classic 350.

The BS6 Classic 350 uses a closed-loop fuel-injection system. This system measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases via an O2 sensor and alters the air-fuel ratio in the fuel-injection system accordingly. So adding a non-stock exhaust will result in a change in the exhaust gas quality and might affect the engine’s combustion efficiency, not to mention failing to adhere to the strict BS6 emission norms. That said, we hope Royal Enfield develops a range of exhaust systems specifically for BS6-compliant bikes soon. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 starts from Rs 1,59,851 for the single-channel ABS variant and goes all the way to Rs 1,84,482 for the alloy wheels and dual-channel ABS-equipped variant (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi).
