Royal Enfield Classic 350 Summary

The Classic 350 is Royal Enfield’s most popular and highest-selling motorcycle in India. It is based on RE’s 346cc platform which is the same as the Bullet 350. Besides Royal Enfield’s traditional thumping exhaust note and feel, what makes the Classic massively popular is its clean retro styling. But with the heavily revised 2021 edition launched in India, this version of the bike will soon be discontinued.

The Classic 350 boasts a round headlamp, a peanut-shaped fuel tank, a round tail lamp, and dual seats. Enhancing its visual appeal are a host of funky and elegant colour options. The 2020 Classic 350 as old-school on the feature front as its design. There’s a fully analogue instrument cluster with no fuel gauge available. The only modern feature present is ABS with single-channel and dual-channel options.

Powering the 2020 Classic 350 is a 346cc, air-cooled engine that produces 19.1bhp of power and 28Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by a five-speed gearbox. With a 13.5-litre fuel tank, its kerb weight stands at 195kg. It rides on a combination of 19-18-inch spoke wheels while alloys are available as an option. The rest of the hardware is pretty basic with telescopic forks, dual springs and a disc-drum brake combo. It can also be had with a disc brake at both ends.

BikeWale's Take

The Classic 350 thrives on its historic brand image. The engine may have a lot of vibrations but offers a massive amount of low-end torque. While the Classic 350 is on the heavier side it goes well with its retro appeal.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 [2020] Expert Opinion

Almost everything about the Classic 350 is either completely new or heavily revised. In this review, we tell you all about these changes in detail and how they fare out in the real world.

Introduction

action

I deeply admire how the Classic 350 looks. Its perfect proportions, vintage design elements, and overall visual appeal collectively make it look so clean, likeable, and timeless. And that’s one of the top reasons why it is not only Royal Enfield’s best-selling model but also the most popular product in its segment. No wonder, the company paid close attention to keep the aesthetics of the Classic 350 majorly unchanged. Obviously, there are subtle tweaks, but the company has stayed true to its heritage.

There’s another aspect about the Classic that deeply resonates with riders of all age groups - its thumping sound. And this is another quality that RE worked on keeping as close to its predecessor as possible. Although it sounds slightly muffled now, the trademark Classic thump is still majorly retained. 

Fuel Tank

However, that’s where the similarities with the previous model end, and almost everything else about the Classic 350 is either completely new or heavily revised. In this review, we tell you all about these changes in detail and how they fare out in the real world. 

The Visuals

Left Side View

It’s difficult to spot the visual differences in a glimpse. A deeper look and you’ll see that subtle alterations have been executed in its headlamp nacelle, mud guards, side panels, and exhaust system. But what’s noticeably new is the top-end Chrome colour variant which you see here. Thanks to the shiny layer of chrome accompanied by the red fuel tank with golden stripes, it attracted a lot of questions and glances everywhere I went. 

The new Classic 350 is also substantially better in terms of quality. All the metal components are held on together sturdily while there’s no inconsistent paint finish, uneven gaps, or any sign of rusting or paint chipping off. Big thumbs up to RE in this regard! 

The Package

Instrument Cluster

As you get up close to the new Classic, you start noticing the differences over the previous model. And the most attention-seeking element is the round Tripper Navigation screen. It connects with your smartphone and gives access to turn-by-turn navigation. Now, this display is very easy to view on the go and is quite legible even under the bright sun. 

Instrument Cluster

But the sad part here is that this is available only in the top-end Chrome variant. Other versions, lower down the portfolio, get a ‘Royal Enfield’ badge here instead of the Tripper. The company says this is due to the global semi-conductor shortage. Once that starts to resolve, the Tripper Navigation will be made available in a few other variants as well. 

Instrument Cluster

While the circular speedometer retains its retro charm, there’s a rectangular LCD underneath that shows parameters like an odometer, two trip meters, a clock, and an Eco indicator. And yes, the Classic 350 finally has a fuel gauge! Furthermore, the switchgear of the bike is also new and this is the same unit as the Meteor. Interestingly, you get a USB charger too. All the controls, including the old-school rotary switches, operate with a nice feel and tactility. 

Front Wheel

Gone is the old 346cc unit construction engine and it has made way for the new 349cc, air and oil-cooled motor that’s a part of Royal Enfield’s new J platform. This is the same engine as in the Meteor - a bike we have ridden extensively and absolutely loved it. The experience has been something similar on the Classic.

Front Wheel

Furthermore, Royal Enfield has done a bunch of changes to improve the handling and stability. The single downtube chassis has been replaced by a double down tube frame and this is accompanied by chunkier telescopic forks with a diameter of 41mm, as opposed to the previous 35mm. Even the dual springs at the rear have 10mm more travel. Moreover, the front and rear wheels and tyres have slightly more width for a larger contact patch, thereby facilitating it with better stability.

Even the braking hardware is a part of the overhaul. While the front is 20mm larger at 300mm, the rear disc is 30mm bigger with a diameter of 270mm. The callipers have been enlarged as well. 

The Ride

action

The moment you start up the bike, the difference from the older model is noticeable instantly. This one settles into a thumping yet smooth idle. Although it has the same relaxed character, the acceleration feels more energetic and livelier, especially at city speeds. There’s ample low-end torque to pull off easy overtakes. Reaching the speeds of 80-85kmph is not a sluggish affair but post that, it takes its own sweet time to reach the 100kmph mark. And if you keep on gunning it, it maxes out at around 114kmph. Progressing through the gears isn’t a task anymore as the gears shift with a slick feel and much lesser effort now. And this proves to be a boon in the city. However, the clutch starts feeling heavy after a point, especially when you spend long hours in traffic. 

action

Vibration was a phenomenon that came as a part and parcel for the buyers of the Classic 350 previously. But I am glad to report that’s not the case anymore. Guess what, it can now cruise at 100kmph all day long without giving you the fear of its panels falling off. You only feel a minor buzz on the handlebar and footpegs beyond 80kmph or if you go wringing it in every gear. 

action

Similar to its design, Royal Enfield has also tried to keep the commanding riding position of the Classic 350 unchanged. The only small revision in its riding triangle is that the handlebar has now been moved slightly forward to shift the rider’s weight at the front, which basically contributes to better handling. The seat has also been worked upon and the design and cushioning are different than before. 

Bike Seat

As for my experience, the overall ergonomics felt comfortable for a good amount of time. But on a long ride, after about an hour, my tail bone started hurting a bit and the pain only kept on increasing with time. After around two hours of continuous riding, taking a break became crucial. This was mainly an issue with the design and cushioning of the seat. So, it’s great in the city or shorter rides, but if you plan to go touring, you might want to install an aftermarket touring seat. 

action

On the brighter side, all the hardware changes have resulted in a drastic improvement over the previous-generation model. At 195 kilograms (kerb), the Classic is a pretty heavy motorcycle and you can definitely feel that weight while changing directions. But it comes across as a more obedient and confidence-inspiring package while making way through traffic. And it’s the same story around twisties. Even if you push it around corners, the bike doesn’t really get upset as the rear end doesn’t squirm as much.

These improvements are also courtesy of better weight distribution than before. It’s two per cent heavier at the front now with the distribution being 46 per cent at the front and 54 per cent at the rear. That’s why it feels easier to move around on the main stand.

action

It also sheds speed quicker! The front, in particular, sheds speed much quicker by delivering a stronger bite and feel. To be precise, Royal Enfield claims the stopping distance has been reduced by 21 per cent. As for the rear, it feels way too soft for our liking, but the company says it has been tuned as per the riding style of most Classic users. 

Engine From Left

Moving on to the ride quality, the Classic 350 irons out minor road imperfections, small potholes, and stones efficiently. But it’s only when you hit a nasty speed breaker or a deep pothole that you feel the firmness of its suspension, even at slower speeds. The rear end literally bobs you around if you don’t slow down enough. And things remain the same with a pillion on board. 

For those who are curious to know about its mileage, the 2021 Classic 350 returned around 31kmpl, which is decently fuel-efficient. With its 13-litre fuel tank fully topped up, you can do about 403km before having to take a fuel stop. 

Our Take

Right Side View

To be honest, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 was already bringing in commendable sales for the company. Besides RE’s rich heritage, the Classic delivers that thumping feel, a boss-like riding position, and of course, the adorable styling. With the 2021 model, Royal Enfield played it smart by keeping these traits intact while fixing other issues like high levels of vibrations, lack of important features, inefficient brakes, and lazy handling. 

Now, we can say this with conviction that most of these changes work in the favour of the new Classic 350 by making it a much better package. So, if you want a pair of wheels that evokes a sense of nostalgia while being relevant in this day and age, and as Vikrant usually says, something that tugs at your heartstrings, the 2021 Classic 350 is the one. 

Front View

For those who prefer something different than the conventional, Royal Enfield is offering a host of accessories for the Classic 350 under its new ‘Mak It Yours’ platform. So, you can choose stuff like bar-end mirrors, different seats, a number of engine guard options, and a plethora of other add-ons.

The prices of the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic start at Rs 1.84 lakh for the entry-level variant and go up to Rs 2.15 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-end Chrome trim. While the base model is just around Rs 4,000 dearer than the corresponding variant of the previous Classic, the price difference between Chrome trims is nearly Rs 8,000.

      Royal Enfield is for royalty. When we are riding this bike we don't need to prove that, we are bold men because of RE 350 bold look proves what we are. While riding on RE it feels like riding on a Lion. There are only pros in this bike from my side. Service maintenance depends on how you treat this LION.

      Classic 350 dual channel abs model 2021 best condition

      20 weeks ago


      Abhinav

      It's in very good condition and has been in one hand and on-time service only in Showroom service center. There's no issue with the bike and is very comfortable. A new rear tire has been recently installed.
      You will get a decent mileage of nearly 35 to 40 kilometers per liter.
      All it's a good deal at this price.

      Bike is in good Condition and every part of bike is ok I have an extra silencer. Servicing on time every time . No extra accessories I have in my bike all the parts are original and of the time of purchase not a single scratch on my bullet. Looks like a Rowdy and the Cons in my point of view is its weight .

      Feels like home. Its doesnt thrill b

      Since you are reading this , I guess that you have already read the specification of this bike and you are here for the after purchase experience, I will give you exactly that.
      Talking about looks its one of the best looking retro motorcycle out there but mind you there are a million other classics in this country and there is no exclusivity with this. So don't expect to gain attention and eyeballs on this. Its the 7th most selling motorcycle so you will find in every major traffic signal and just everywhere.
      Buying experience: it was a decent experience nothing too fancy. See until they haven't sold the bike the dealership guys will be the most polite and understanding people. The problem occurs once you have purchased the motorcycle.
      Riding experience: so it is a 200 kg motorcycle with 19.1 ps power which means its not the fastest , also at speeds above 60 km/hr, all the agility is gone, the bike resists to lean and filtering at highspeed is not possible, although this problem is solved in j series model.
      After owning this motorcycle, you will realize that it cant beat the bajaj ns 160 or ever pulsar 150 at top speed, so you don't even try. But this matures you day by day as the young blood inside you which makes you want to race everyone on the street and prove your worth will be humbled because with this you are not winning and you wont even try which becomes a habit and ultimately you become a better rider, not intimidated by any one on the road and most importantly not racing stupidly on streets.
      on highways: now after you have matured and now you will start liking the bike more and more. Specially in the highways.
      It sits at 70-80 km/hr on a very low rpm of the engine. At this speed motorcycle achieves something called a flow state where it feels like you are floating on the road ( obviously of you don't have those stupidly loud exhausts installed). The feeling is very hard to describe through words and you might have heard this a lot. But i am telling you its real and you have to mature on the motorcycle to feel it. Personally for me, it calms me down and all my racing thoughts slows down. This might sound stupid and delusional but its true for and it wont occur when you have 5000 explosions in between your legs.
      On city: its basically a heavy dirt bike and a lot of torque, so this will be the easiest on the city as torque available at a very low rpm helps in the constant stopping and acceleration. I haven't faced any heating issues in the city. Only sometimes due to its heaviness going back/ reversing becomes a pain.
      Covering huge distances: for covering distance you need speed but after 80 km/hr it starts vibrating and the vibrations are so severe that i sometime fell it will vibrate it self to pieces. Although it never happened i have pushed the motorcycle to its top speed of 110 km/hr (gps) but surely the engine doesn't likes it.
      Service and maintenance: service after every 3000 kms which is very frequent in my opinion and each service costs around 2000- 2500 rupees per service including labor charge. And if its a major service then it costs around 3500 rupees. Although the are a lot of private mechanics who will service the bike and labour cost will be minimal. And they also have the parts cheaper then enfield for some reason.
      The authorized service center only knows about common problems and basic servicing, and if its a new motorcycle then they are as knowledgeable as you. Honestly the service guys only know how to change oil (at least that's the case in my area).
      Also, the after sales experience is seriously bad. My bike chassis was slightly misaligned which made the bike go right. Whenever i let go of the handle bar it automatically goes right. I did a lot to get this fixed but no response from the company and the dealership guys are the rudest on the planet. I got it fixed from a mechanic which costed around 4000 rupees extra. So yeah after sales service is a hassle for what the bike has to offer. And all the videos you see on the internet about bad experience in service centers they are all true.
      Other issues : the chain cleaning process is a pain because near the front sprocket cant be cleaned without draining the oil and opening the right side engine casing. Lights are halogen and pretty low power so you will need aux lamps if you wish to travel in dark. The relay for the fuel pump was dead after 2 months of buying it which eventually got me stranded in the middle of the road. The meter bulb died last week, there is no fuel guage. Although i haven't had any rusting on my bike but some might face this issue too so be mindful about it.
      So, who do i recommend this motorcycle to? actually no one, see royal enfield is not the only option out there for retro motorcycle there are far better options. And it is selling motorcycles basically out of the cult following that those bikes have got. Plus the internet is filled with all the quality issues with the bikes they produce, be it the chassis breaking of the himalayan or rusting or subframe breaking of the interceptor or one cylinder dying of the 650s.
      Only buy a classic 350 if you are a occasional rider and you don't bother about speeds and competing and also if you have a decent income. For students and fresh graduates please stay away from this better buy a yamaha or bajaj or ktm or honda just never go for the enfield.
      And you might be thinking after all those good points of the bikes why i am pushing you away from this bike?? because buying a bike is like a relationship, you adjust on some areas to experience the best in your gf/ bf. That's how a healthy relationship works, but with this motorcycle there's more flaws than goods and my decision was also based upon emotion rather than practicality.
      But , after considering all the points i will suggest that you should go for a test ride and choose whichever motorcycle you like. But always keep your expectation in check and you will be happy. Thanks peace

      1. This bike was my first bike purchase ever, I spent almost 2 lakhs for the bike.
      2. Rode 28,000 km in 2 years, leisure it with the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, and the highways.
      3. Looks of my bike is classic 350 gun metal grey which is the best-selling of the classic 350 variants. Always filled it with extra premium petrol (best quality petrol) and change the engine oil every 2500 km for the best performance of the bike.
      4. Better do service to a friendly mechanic garage and the maintenance of the bike is not too high (easily affordable maintenance).
      5. Pros - best cruiser in every terrain
      cons - vibration
      when riding on wet roads but no rain the pillion rider's back side get splashed (water droplets with particles of dirt from the road) by the rear wheel.

      Vipin Jaiswal

      The best bike as its name is royal sounds good...
      Lassic 350 boasts a round headlamp, a peanut-shaped fuel tank, a round tail lamp, and dual seats. Enhancing its visual appeal is a host of funky and elegant color options. 2020 classic 350 as old-school on the feature front as its design. There’s a fully analogue instrument cluster with no fuel gauge available. The only modern feature present is abs with single-channel and dual-channel options.
