Reviews of Royal Enfield Classic 350 [2020]

I take her for trekking and night camps, she never got a scratch and always was comfortable to go on rocky mountains and bumpy roads.As named its a classic. Doesn't require much maintenance even after so rough usage.Its heavy yet the most powerful vehicle to take anywhere on any road with less effort.

About the Reviewer

I have classic 350 2017 model. Problem is pick up problem. Some times good pick up and sometimes its like tvs excel. I complained 4 times in head office. Every time they say to give it to service centre. I given so many times. But still now no pick up. Its very bad. I never expected this from royal enfield

About the Reviewer

Classic 350 for me is awesome bike. I brought this bike before 2 years. As per build quality and performance it's at best price. I have done many rides on my classic 350 really a great riding experience. It feels royal while riding classic 350. Services and maintenance is little high than another domestic bikes but it's fine when we compare with other bike and there performance and build quality.

About the Reviewer

It's not very comfortable for tall people. Plus it has serious electrical issues. I am facing this problem in every 2 months . Worst bike.

While riding it's good . It runs smoothly . I have gone on many long trips but only problem i faced was electrical problem. Even the battery remains charged but it has some wiring issues.. The wire gets short many a times and engine never turns on .

About the Reviewer

Delivery is too late. They have gave delivery date after booking the bike no response from showroom that when we get bike. Not at all received calls also.. Bike is good but the sales people are very irresponsible. We are not happy with the showroom, bad name for royal enfield cause of the sales persons.

About the Reviewer

I was very exited about buying this cruiser bike as this is my first bike as I own Activa 5g and used it for daily commute. So I need an upgrade and it was the classic 350. I will give my honest review and the experiences I have come across with this bike.
Riding experience :
1) First of all the riding posture is excellent for the rider but for the pillion, he will have to undergo some sort of back pain during long rides (upgrading to touring seat will be good) but for city commute it is excellent. Going over the speed breakers at 40 km/l won’t give any jerk to the rider and pillion as well.
2) The ergonomics for this cruiser bike is excellent as my height is 5’9 and didn’t experience any back pain or any sort of discomfort.
3) Going over 80 km/h i.e. 110 - 120 km/h will give a lot of vibrations and no matter what type of handle bar you put in or change the seat, it will vibrate the hell outta you. So it is not recommended.
Performance :
1) Haven’t done any off-roading with this bike but going uphill on 2nd gear will look like sliding through butter.
2) I have done speed test and clocked around 120 km/h. Undergone vibration therapy and you can hear the engine roar. But as you slow down you won’t hear any roar and you will doubt yourself that is the engine still running. I haven’t changed the silencer.
3) Throttle response is very good. Since I haven’t done any modifications on the exhaust the sound is smooth and silent. You won’t hear any roar unless you rash drive.
Servicing & maintenance:
1) Since the bike is loaded with metal parts it is prone for rusting. But proper cleaning and chain lubrication will prevent it. Recommend to use the motul c2.
2) Cleaning the bike once or twice a week or every after two weeks is good as it maintains the bike colour as well as the look .
3) Make sure that the water don’t get clogged in the fork nuts as it will lead to rusting.
4) Use bike covers to prevent any animals peeing onto your bike as well as dust and rain.
Pros :
1) Good ergonomics
2) Fuel efficient (38 km/l)
3) Comfort ride
Cons :
1) Vibrates a lot at 120 km/h
2) Rear drum brakes loosens so need to adjust every 500 km.
3) Not good for high speed race with your friends as it is not meant for it.
If you respect your bike, the bike will respect you .
I hope this review will sort all you doubts .

About the Reviewer

Worst performance, and worst experience. The service center people don't even know how to resolve issues. They just changes the engine oil and delivers our bike and this machine, don't even win the race with avenger 220. I lost the race for 2 times. It just sticks at 100 km on speedometer, can't get 120 speed also. But it drinks fuel 1 liter per 28 to 30 km. That's it. I got the dual channel abs version of sand stroke. Brakes were awesome. Engine heats overly. Please make sure once if you are planning to take one. Their service team was worst. TVS service is 2000 times better than this royal Enfield service. If you want to install the heavy guard at showroom please think once. It's just a scrap and it cost's around 3500 to 3800 . At beginning they will promise of 1 year replacement Guarantee but I have faced the same issue, the guard was broken during the crisis. I got welded it ,and after the lockdown they refused to exchange the guard.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was not so good, you have to book for the same in advance. Also they don't give bill for the full amount you paid and no option to avoid extra cost like locks and helmet. Riding is comfortable but sometime vibration is so much irritating and harming hands, its better to go for other bike. Pickup is very poor, its sounds bad in traffic when it suddenly stop and making noise in engine like something stuck. Further mileage you can't actually check as there is no fuel meter and stop anywhere without knowing how much fuel left. Servicing and maintenance is very high and charge additional cost then mrp in the name of labour charges.

About the Reviewer

I bought the bike 3 months(july, 2016) back and rode 3000 km till now. Its really an amazing bike. Its the airavatha. I feel like the maha raja when i sit on it. Excellent ride comfort and seating position. Fuel economy is 37 kmpl in city(bangalore) and 42-45 on high ways.

I have done some research like any other men/women before buying. Finally decided to go with classic 350 black. I think every bike has some things to be consider with it.

I dont have any magor compalints to say about my bike. These are some findings from my 3 months experience with classic 350.

Gear box was a little hard initially, hitting neutral was difficult but after first servicing its really smooth.

Vibrations are high when you hit 100 km speed. Also it vibrates when you chnage gear and slow down speed suddenly.

I donno what material they have used in making the seats, but they are really hard. Butts burns when you go for long rides.

Though fuel indicator is not there, i never had any problem with it.

If you have a thin personality like me, dont worry. Go for it. Once you get a hang off it, you wont feel much trouble in handling its heavyness. Pay some attention how and where you are parking. So you can avoid pulling for great extent.

Pros

ride comfort, looks, pickup

cons

vibrations, gear box
