We had earlier reported Royal Enfield plans of launching the much-awaited Meteor 350 by mid-September. However, we’ve now learnt that the launch has been pushed to next month. The Meteor 350 will be the first bike from Royal Enfield’s stable to be based on the new J platform. And if we were to go by the pricing that had leaked online, we could expect the Meteor 350 to set you back by around Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be available in three variants: Fireball, Stellar and Supernova. Read more about it here.
In terms of specs, leaked brochure images suggest the Meteor will be powered by a new BS6-compliant 350cc fuel-injected long-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes 20.48PS and 27Nm. It's also likely to feature a Single Overhead Camshaft like the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The engine specs have been explained in detail here.
The engine isn’t the only mechanical change on the Meteor 350. It also has bigger brakes and fatter tyres compared to the Thunderbird 350X. What enthusiasts might miss is the Thunderbird’s massive 20-litre fuel tank which is replaced by a smaller 15-litre unit. More details here.

Of course, the bike would seem pretty incomplete without a feature list and the Meteor seems to have a lengthy one. The semi-digital instrument console, for instance, gets smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation as well as day and night mode. You also have a USB charging port, LED tail light, and a circular LED DRL that runs around the headlight.
It’s safe to say that Royal Enfield is betting big on the Meteor 350 and we really hope it lives up to the hype.

In term of riding the bike really good I've had many great riding experiences with it. The performance is excellent and fuel tank capacity is also good. So there's no worry on long rides. The service network is available in many places so that's not a concern either. Maintenance costs are also quite reasonable. Read More
Among all two-wheelers, the Royal Enfield Meteor offers the most comfortable ride, and its maintenance cost is also the lowest. It's a 350cc bike, yet it still delivers a mileage of 30–35 km/l on the road. For those who are passionate about two-wheeler riding, the best bike is the Royal Enfield Meteor.Read More

Dream bike for a middle class family, I purchased it in june 2021 with all my savings while working. It cost me 2.40 lacs in cash as I have ordered Glossy black which is non standard colour so I have to pay extra for it. Talking about my 4.5 years of experience with this bike so the max i go with it is 800 km (up+down) to Mussoorie UK. I like it.Read More
