We compare the performance of the two 350cc Royal Enfield bikes
Royal Enfiled made a huge leap with the recent launch of the new Meteor 350 in India. It is the first RE motorcycle to be powered by a new 350cc motor and features an all-new platform. The Meteor 350 gives us a glimpse of what we can expect from Royal Enfield in the future, but how does it compare to its present: the Classic 350? We analyse their performance figures.
Acceleration
The Meteor 350 has a bit more power than the Classic 350 but slightly less torque. However, the J-series engine is significantly quicker than the traditional UCE motor. The Meteor 350 goes from standstill to 100kmph in 15.12 seconds, whereas the Classic does it in 22.85 seconds. Not only off the line, but the Meteor also has a much better roll-on figure which is crucial for overtaking.
Braking
With its larger brakes, the Meteor 350 stops faster than the Classic 350. The Meteor comes to a complete halt from 80kmph in 31.84m whereas the Classic takes another 3.15m. However, we must add that the brake feel of the Classic is much better as the brakes on the Meteor don’t offer much feedback.
Mileage
When it comes to efficiency, it’s a close match between both bikes. That said, the Meteor 350 has a slightly larger fuel tank (15 litres) which gives it around 60km of extra range on the highway.

- Excellent bike for long ridesIn 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 More3
- Most Comfortable bikeAmong 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

- My review for my Meteor 350ccDream 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 More2
