The Classic 350 is back. And this time, it feels more refined, more powerful, and still very Royal Enfield. This bike has always been loved for its old-school charm. The 2025 model keeps that same vintage style but adds updates that today’s riders will really enjoy.
The tank is still teardrop-shaped. The headlight is round. The chrome touches are shiny and neat. The body panels are smoother now. Paint quality feels much better. And the bike still turns heads wherever it goes.
New Colors to Match Your Mood
Royal Enfield has introduced fresh new color options this year. From rich reds to deep blues, there’s something for every rider. You can also choose from matte or chrome finishes. Each version has its own special identity.
Some color names include:
- Halcyon Green
- Chrome Bronze
- Signals Marsh Grey
- Dark Stealth Black
- Redditch Red
You also get new graphics and tank badges that make the bike feel premium.
New Engine, Better Ride
Under the hood, the Classic 350 is now powered by the J-series engine. This is a 349cc air-oil cooled engine. It makes around 20.2 PS of power and 27 Nm of torque. It’s not the fastest engine, but it is smooth and punchy.
You feel the pull from low RPMs. It’s perfect for relaxed cruising. Whether you are riding in traffic or on open roads, the engine feels calm and confident.
The vibrations are less now. That’s a big improvement. Even when you go above 80 km/h, the ride feels composed.
Built for Comfort and Long Rides
The seating on the new Classic 350 is more comfortable. The seat is wider and softer. The riding posture is upright and easy on the back. You can ride for hours without feeling tired.
The footpegs are well-placed. The handlebar is not too high or too low. It fits just right. The pillion seat is also better cushioned than before.
Whether you are riding alone or with a friend, the bike feels stable and enjoyable.
Features That Matter
The instrument cluster is now semi-digital. You still get the classic speedometer needle, but there is a small digital screen too. It shows fuel level, trip meters, time, and gear position.
The bike also gets an LED DRL and LED tail light. The headlamp is halogen, but it gives good spread. You can also choose the Tripper Navigation feature in select variants, which shows turn-by-turn directions using your phone.
Other handy features:
- USB charging port
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Hazard lights
- Electric start standard across all variants
Smooth Gear Shifts, Solid Brakes
The gearbox is 5-speed and works well with the engine. The clutch is light and easy to operate. Gear shifts are smooth and predictable.
The Classic 350 gets disc brakes on both wheels. The base version has single-channel ABS, and higher trims come with dual-channel ABS. The brakes have good bite. The bike stops with confidence.
Suspension and Handling
The front suspension is a telescopic fork. The rear has twin shock absorbers. This setup is ideal for Indian roads. The bike feels planted even on rough surfaces.
The turning radius is tight enough for city riding. And the bike handles curves better than the older version. It’s not made for racing, but for cruising and comfort, it’s really good.
The bike weighs around 195 kg. It feels heavy at a stop but once you start rolling, it’s easy to manage.
Mileage and Tank Capacity
The new Classic 350 gives you an average mileage of 35 to 40 km/l. Of course, that depends on your riding style and traffic conditions.
The fuel tank is 13 litres. That gives you a range of around 400 km on a full tank. Perfect for long weekend rides without too many fuel stops.
Variants and Price
The 2025 Classic 350 comes in multiple variants. Here’s a quick look:
- Redditch Series (entry-level)
- Halcyon Series (mid variant)
- Signals Edition (inspired by army bikes)
- Dark Series (with alloy wheels and blacked-out look)
- Chrome Series (top-end with glossy finishes)
