Royal Enfield has started offering alloy wheels for the Classic 350 and the Classic 500. These will be sold as optional accessories and cost Rs 10,500 per pair (inclusive of installation charges). These are the same units offered on the Thunderbird 350X and the Thunderbird 500X.
Dealers across Pune have also confirmed that the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 would be the next in line to receive this update. Considering that both the 650 twins and the Classic series use the same 18-inch rear wheel, Royal Enfield already has half the work cut out for itself. It now just has to work on the front wheel assembly. Considering all this, we can expect a pair of new alloy wheels for the 650 twins to cost somewhere around Rs 12,000.
Traditionally, spoked wheels are always looked at as an easy to replace, lighter and more affordable option. However, they usually come with tube-type tyres (exceptions being the V-Storm 650 and other midsize ADVs) which are tedious to repair. Alloy wheels, on the other hand, come with tubeless tyres, which are easy to repair in case of punctures and also don’t lose air as rapidly as tube-type tyres. Royal Enfield will also be launching a new Scrambler-style motorcycle based on the Classic family soon, read about it here.

- Royal Enfield Classic 350 is my dream bike and now i own this..I've always wanted to purchase a Royal Enfield, and the Classic 350 was my first pick. For Indian riders in particular, it's more than simply a bike; it's a feeling. I also gave the Jawa and Honda CB350 some thought, but nothing compares to the Classic's legacy and appeal. Long YouTube reviews, forum conversations, and advice from friends abound throughout my research quest. I finally knew this was the bike after a test ride. It felt like mine right away—the comfort, the road presence, the thump. The thump of the engine and the riding posture makes it feel special every time. On highways, it cruises beautifully at 80–90 kmph, and in city, it feels stable though heavy in traffic. Mileage is around 34–36 kmpl. Negatives are the slightly heavy weight and higher maintenance compared to normal bikes, but for the experience it gives, I don’t mind. Yes, for anyone who wants to feel a strong connection with their bike and enjoys relaxed, powerful riding. It is not for people who want lightweight, high-mileage bikes. But for enthusiasts and travel lovers, it is the perfect choice.Read More1
