    Royal Enfield’s upcoming all-new motorcycle has been plagued by many delays

    [Update: Royal Enfield has launched the Meteor 350 in India. Head here for the pricing and other details regarding the launch]

    The upcoming Royal Enfield Meteor’s launch has been delayed yet again. This all-new motorcycle is now expected to come after Diwali. According to ET Auto, the Meteor has been delayed as Royal Enfield is keen to launch its all new motorcycle with the Make Your Own app. 

    The new MYO app will allow customers to customise the Meteor via an online configurator and have it delivered at their doorstep. This new initiative is being developed under the watchful eyes of Royal Enfield CEO Vinod Dasari.

This new initiative is being developed under the watchful eyes of Royal Enfield CEO Vinod Dasari.   The new Meteor will be the first of Royal Enfield’s new lineup based on its new J platform. It gets a new 350cc air-cooled motor and will come with features like a digital instrument console with navigation. It will be a replacement to the now discontinued Thunderbird. The rest of Royal Enfield’s new motorcycle range will be launched later next year.   We feel that Royal Enfield’s decision to launch the Meteor after the festive season is a big miss as that time period is considered auspicious and preferable by customers when it comes to buying anything, motorcycles included. With Honda’s new CB350 H’Ness deliveries to begin soon, it will no doubt eat into potential Meteor sales.

      Excellent bike for long rides

      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.

      Most Comfortable bike

      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.

      My review for my Meteor 350cc

      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.
