Updated Royal Enfield Classic 350: What To Expect?
The Royal Enfield Classic 350, powered by the latest J platform engine, continues to reign supreme in the market despite facing competition from new contenders. However, it's no secret that this model could benefit from some important updates in terms of features and components. Its main rival, the Jawa 350, boasts a DOHC engine delivering about 2 bhp and 1 nm more torque than the Classic 350. It also features a 6-speed transmission, assist and slip (A&S) clutch, twin exhausts, and other enhancements. Despite these features, the prices of both models are competitive, depending on the variants.
Customers would appreciate seeing similar upgrades in the Classic 350. We anticipate that the updated Classic will come with significant improvements, along with some common ones. However, its style and essence will remain true to its original design. Additionally, this model competes with the Benelli Imperiale 400 and Honda CB350 H'ness. Any major updates introduced in the Classic will likely extend to other 350cc models in Royal Enfield's lineup, such as the Bullet 350, Hunter 350, and Meteor 350.
