We all know that Royal Enfield has plans to introduce one new bike every quarter. And, to fulfil this promise, the brand is currently working on multiple models, including the highly-anticipated Classic 350. Recently, a new video of the upgraded Classic 350 (likely from a dealer's yard) has surfaced on the web, suggesting that the launch is just around the corners.
The video exposes the new RE Classic 350 undisguised, revealing all the design changes and key features. It will be based on the identical 'J" platform as the Meteor 350 and will be powered by the new 349cc single-cylinder counterbalanced engine churning out 20.4PS and 27Nm, paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The twin downtube spine frame of the 2021 Classic roadster is said to provide improved ride quality with less vibration than the ongoing UCE model.

As for styling, the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 will receive minor design changes while retaining its original retro-classic look. These will include a slightly updated headlamp & taillamps, improved cushioning, and clear indicators. It will also get new paint schemes.
In terms of features, the bike will get a new digital-analog instrument console with Tripper Navigation System that will show the turn-by-turn feeds when connected to the smartphone via the Royal Enfield mobile application. Besides, it will also receive trip meters, a fuel gauge, a clock, a service due indicator, an Eco indicator, and a fuel efficiency indicator for the very first time. Some media reports are also suggesting that the updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 could get a dual-channel Antilock Braking System as a standard feature.

Considering all the aforementioned changes, we expect the new Classic 350 to demand a premium of around Rs 5,000 over the existing model, which is priced from Rs 1.72 lakh to Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom). On its arrival, it will renew its competition with the Benelli Imperiale 400 and the Jawa.
